Comments on: Isaiah: "I Should Have Used N-Word"

Actor Says He Was Referring To Self When He Used Anti-Gay Slur On Set Of "Grey's Anatomy"

'W word', 'T word', 'F word"!!! He, he... This 'S word" is so funny. "I shoulda used the 'N word'! Whaaaa!!! He, he... Man, there sure are some crazies, oh, 'C word', in this world. :-)

He should have said "I should have kept my mouth shut". Anything else just proves that he still doesn't get it. Isn't it sad that the best thing his imagination can come up with a replacement insult?

HE and Rosie should start their own foot-in-mouth show. They could call it "The Chew".

This guy is a big baby, loser. I'd call him a stupid n-word, but then that would be bigoted, wouldn't? So, I don't say that sh***. And neither should he have said the fa-word.

Grow up, big boy...and welcome to the real world.

I dont think that was an attack on Homosexuals at all.

I know what color I am and what I've had to do to be sucessful. I also know that it doesn't make me a "tom" everytime I don't "give a brother a break" (I am so tired of that ****). I do not know or care whether gay is a choice or not so won't address that.
I think Dempsey should have been let go also, but the article was not about him. I also agree that Mr. Washington should have known better for two reasons. Yes, black people especially males are held under a different scrutiny (did he not know that?). But black people, are so sensitve to any antiblack sentiment (real or perceived) that they should be the last to use certain terms (which was my whole point fellas). And black people, that includes the n-word and "tom" which today seems to be used anytime one black person doesn't give another what he or she wants.

I think that the situation is unfortunate for Isaiah but he needs to let it go. Folks are not going to side with him. People are so concerned about what other say about a group of people that choose their lifestyle. When I am called the n word, it is not because of a lifestyle that I chose but because of something I have no control.

In general, if Isaiah was let go then the other guy should have been also. Also, I think Isaiah should have known better because African American people are held under different scrutiny than others. This holds especially true for males. And I hope he did not think he was saved because a black woman ran the show. I hope he has heard of another politically incorrect term called a "Tom".

And by the way, there still "do" exist is proper (but then, I'm socially inept). What some remnant of white folks fear, I could care less about. I have seen too many examples of how to be successful despite. But if you need it, keep it.

I really dont care who he attacked or why. I care about his endless whining and that his bs changes everytime he opens his mouth. By the way first i was a heterophobe now im a homophobe? Which is it? You dont know me. My opinion stands. I have a right to it. Its not yours. Your problem, so you get over it your **** self.

Certainly he did use a poor choice of words, and you're obviously socially inept, because there does still exist some white folks that become paranoid whenever a black man/woman vocalizes his/her views passionately and vociferously.

People say foolish things when upset, I understand what he was saying, and it wasn%u2019t an attack against women, ga#ys, or otherwise, which you and many others are blowing way out of proportion.

By the by

I think that spew about everybody being afraid of that "Strong, tall black man" and his "strong black voice" (what an dip) was some truly embarrassing BS. But he can tell himself what he needs to go on just like the rest of us.
