Gay Slur Gets "Grey's" Goof an Image Award

31. Michael Richards is crucified by the black community, but Isaiah Washington gets an award? This is why black people are their own worst enemy.... The black community doesn't even TRY to hid their prejudice. Blacks didn't care that OJ Simpson slaughtered two people, as long as "the black man" didn't get jailed.

Why are the vast majority of black volunteers involved only in groups that help *specifically* black people? It's funny how Oprah concentrates solely on African nations to send her billions...instead of speading it out to help kids in poor Asian or Eastern European or South American countries.

Can anyone imagine how politically incorrect it would be for white politicians to join the WHITE CAUCUS? What if there were a white counterpart to the NAACP (=the naawp)?

The answer is because black people are just as prejudiced, if not more, than non-blacks. Because they practice OVERT racism, they will always be their own worst enemy and not be accepted totally into the national community.

32. People trying to equate "faggot" to actual racist remarks are fools. The term "faggot" is descriptive of an ideology or lifestyle, and, while a definite slur, is definitely NOT racist. It is more along the lines of "fat", "bimbo", "Chauvinist", or "Left-wing". To insinuate otherwise shows an "agenda", not a "point".

You don't know what you're talking about the NAACP does nominate other races. The NAACP gave Bono an award. If you want to say the organization discriminates then what about the Oscars? They discriminated against other races for a long time. Do you think that it's right that Paris Hilton, Andy Dick, Michael Richards can get away with saying racial slurs? You probably do.

@Richard

I don't care that Ann Coulture was supposedly kidding...she still said it and that's wrong. Why is their a double standard? IW is wrong and she said it in fun so it's okay. Whatever.

36. Talk about a double standard - Michael Richards uses the N-word and has everyone up in arms to crucify him; Isaiah uses the F-word and "his people" give him this award? Nope, that ain't right. Besides, the NAACP has worn out its usefulness and the idea of awards being given based on SKIN COLOR seems rather...RACIST!

You don't know what you're talking about the NAACP gave Bono an award. They do recognize other races. But it is an award show that honors outstanding achievements by AA. The Oscars was just like that at one time.

@ Richard

Ann Coulture says the F word but it's okay cuz she was joking right??? But IW says it and because he is black it was totally different. So you don't think Ann Coulture is homophobic? Probably not cuz she is white???? Yeah okay....and you guys say we stick together.....that's funny. I saw the golden globes and IW said he did not call him a faggot in response to a question from one of the reporters. He never said he called him that...he was denying those reports that he did.

39. "Faggot" is NO more a "racial" slur than "Pig", "Bimbo, "Chauvinist", or "Left-wing". It definitely IS a slur, but NOTHING even close to what's being alleged. Grow up and get a life.

41. Bang,
Your comment was extremely ignorant. Obviously, you have just been waiting for an opportunity to use a word that you probably use all the time. Isaiah Washington was wrong and he took responsibility for his mistake. However, it seems like the n-word is the new hip thing to say.

42. I agree with Lee. For a slur to be "racial", it must refer to a persons race. Coulter and Washington's slur refer to behavior so "Fa@#ot" is not a racial slur.

Actually, Coulter use of the word wasn't a slur. It was a satirical pun at the lunacy of someone going to rehab to cure the person from saying politically incorrect words.

43. To all the racist bloggers on this blog...Shut the fuck up, get over the comment, and take the white sheet off your face!

44. As an civil rights organization, the NAACP should carefully consider the implications of honoring someone who has expressed homophobic comments, regardless of his/her apology.

That is unles they do not consider gays to have civil rights, which appears to be possible.

45. Yes he did get the image and it was well deserve. I watch Gray's and his personal opinion does not effect the fact he is a good actor. Just like Andy Dick calling people a nigger. Not only am I gay and black so do I after him because he is ignorant. I am gay and I don't care for Rosie at all, should I agree with her because she is gay? No She is rude very rude. This people have their werid opinion and basically say what they want and we all smile in their face because they are in the limelight truth is all of them have issues and it would take someone like me to set them straight. Nut cases but Mr. Washington deserve his award because he was not given the award because he is a good person that make smart decision, but because he is a good actor on a hit show with excellent writers.
