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

Isaiah WashingtonIsaiah Washington won an acting award this weekend, and no, it wasn't for his half-assed apology for using the "f-word."

The loose-lipped "Grey's Anatomy" doc, who recently left gay-slur rehab, took home Best Actor in a Television Drama at the 38th Annual NAACP Image Awards. What an image, indeed!

With Isaiah receiving this questionable honor, perhaps there's hope that Michael Richards will get a GLAAD Award ... but don't count on it.

46. The award was for acting. Is Isaiah a good actor? Yes, he is. Is he a good person? Maybe. Maybe not. I've never met him. It does not matter whether he is or isn't. What matters is when it comes to this award is whether or not he can act.

Now, if Hollywood would hire more black actors, then they would have had more people to choose from when deciding who to nominate and who to give the award. And then, maybe, someone else would have won it.

48. TALENT??????? WHAT TALENT, HE'S THE TOKEN "BLACK".
HE READS LINES,,NO ACTING, NO EMOTION, JUST HITS HIS MARKS (CAUSE
HE'S TOO PUSSY TO FIGHT PATRICK OR EVEN "LIZY" (WHO I THINK WOULD FUCK HIM UP GOOD). HE WOULD BE BOORING IN A COMMERTIAL.

Isiah Washington is not a biggot and as a black woman I could not care less what Micheal Richards had to say. Many of us live ourlives regardlesswho others think The NAACP didthe right thing. I have followed his career and has watched him grow .He is married, employed, and totally devoted to his family. To many of us that counts for something. I am honored to be a fan who has a gay uncle.

53. Um...to "stay in the closet"... Gays will never be accepted by blacks because you need to feel that there's someone lower than yourselves. This is about your own self hatred, which you project onto others. Your homophobia as a group has produced the "downlow" phenomenon among your own, which has now come back to bite you in the ass. Your people's HIV rates are among the highest in the country (striaght, hetero and black). You can thank your dishonesty and promiscuity (all you fine church going, God fearing liars). Now it's your turn to deal with HIV. Let's see how well you do. I guess that karma really does come back.

54. Amy come get some...

You work at a law firm? Doing what? Pushing papers is all I can think of, with that ignorance your writing. Don't respond to something you feel like isn't true..A little defensive are we? Sounds like you may be guilty of the stereotype about white women. If that doesn't pertain to you,,,,why respond in such a offensive manner? Do you spend you menial life thinking about stereotypes? Live your life and get out of the stinky box you in (in other words,,step outside the box. The stereotypes about all races are just that "stereotypes". You look and sound stupid.

55. Bob P,,,

I have a question for you,,,since your the statistical genius here....Can you write about the topic of the blog next time?

56. To those who said the NAACP is a prejudice and Racist organization -

The NAACP has awarded people of other races. And, the NAACP is not an organization that is only for black Americans. White people, Hispanics, Asians, etc. are members of the NAACP. As a matter of fact, the NAACP was formed by:

W.E.B. Dubois - Black
Ida Wells-Barnett - Black
Henry Moscowitz - WHITE (Jewish)
Mary White Ovington - WHITE
Oswald Garrison Villard - WHITE (German American)
William English Walling - WHITE
