Are you people listening to yourselves!? Black, White, Gay, Straight! Get over yourselves!

Isaiah Washington was fired because he said something amazingly stupid—twice!—and ABC decided that he was a liability. Kind and fair? Probably not. Racist? No. They are a business out to make money for their share-holders (black, white, asian, hispanic, straight, and gay). Read some corporate law—under US corporate charters a corporations PRIMAMRY concern must always be the financial stability and welfare of its share-holders. It’s the law! A good law—hell no, but THE LAW none the less.

As for the rest of you—get over yourselves. You ARE racist, everyone of you (white and black) who have been slinging mud back and forth on this posting. COME ON! I understand that the dream that racisms back was broken in the English speaking world with South Africa is a fallacy at best, but it is precisely this kind of sentiment that festers into racial—and homophobic, for that matter—violence and crime.

Grow up, and rather than sitting here snapping at eachother like petulant children, maybe try and do something positive with your time.

Like maybe learn about a race or beliefs that aren’t your own…

everyone on this board has anger issues so stop making it a racial thing!!

for the teenagers on this board making racial comments: you'll grow out of it.
but for the older ones: you should who know better so just stop. calling people names and making bullsh-t generalizations is how this story started.

right now people are having a hard time respecting themselves and others but a negative thread like this is not helping the situation. so let it die.

To 10:29 AKA A WHITE WOMAN. you are a relic from our past and the future that's what you repersent and that's what go on in the world today you see, stop trying to trivialize and recongnize. And for using excuses for being lazy, who are your referring to? whites, Cain't be black people because their more whites than blacks on welfare looking for a hand out, I bet you didn't know that, white girl now go do your home work.

Black are racist? If we are it's only to the racist white man who is a racist. And yes I knew that you were going to call me out on a typing error typical white man/person .I know how to spell just was in a hurry at that moment you imbecile JAC- A--. so much racism from white people it's unconsciousable. now check my spelling slave.

213- really? Is that who we perfer?

No your people perfer KKK

12:54 Yes I did graduate college, and do us all a big favor keep Dr. ML King name out of you racist mouth. Don't fear the black man because we will take over. you mention don't be jealous, jealous of what? it's a privalege to be black for me. and get the boulder of who shoulders? you me off of your shoulders?. And lastly you're more ignorant than I imagine you were. you mean you did not know about the gold in africa? Why don't you go and do some research get educated, then get back with me. until then I won't wast my time on the imbecile white tralier trash racist like you. Secondly at least we don't kill people and then eat them uhh.. you all are sick. P.S I VOTED FOR BUSH AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE FUC-- UP TODAY.

1235- I find that really hard to believe that you are a recent college grad. Did you major in ignorance?

Hollywood need to put this to rest - talk about beating a dead comment to death. He has apologized over and over about his remark, but to hurt a man's career is about as not right as the comment. T.R Knight still has a job and Isaiah should have a job also. There are celebrities that have said things they should not, but "we" have forgiven them and they have gone on with their careers, Isaiah shoud be no different. I use to be a big fan of Grey's, but the not anymore. His co-stars have a lot to do with my opinion of the show, as well as him not having a job. Their attitude as professional actors/actresses show them in a different light. I think they have treated him unfairly. I hope they never slip and say something they should not, the finger would not look pretty pointing back at them.

11:21, 31, and 34 were all the same person. I am really confused. I was being sincere. I love this country and am so sad about our past including the trail of tears, and slavery. We can't go back and change the past, and sorry doesn't even cut it. So we go on and try to make the future better. But there is IW b!tching about all these terrified white people because he has a big black booming voice. Maybe he is just a jerk that people don't want to work with. Maybe he shouldn't use remarks that offend others, as he would have been offended too. Don Imus should have been fired, that was rude. We all could hold ourselves to a high standard. Get off the cross we need the wood!

1052 anon- ok- if you know your history so well- give me your version of a history lesson and tell me what it has to do with white people today- mind you, that were not even born back then. This should be interesting..... :).

1112 anon- hey I was making a point. Blacks say they can't get an education because of their impoverished life-it's funny how many have become Doctors. Everyone has a chance at making something of their lives.

The civil war was the worst battle in our history, and it was for the emancipation proclamation. What have you done with your freedom? Other than complain?

10:52 Your African people sold you to the whites. And until you all stop playing the "plantation" card and rise above us without your reverse discrimination, you will not have the respect you desire. The culture that was inspired by Grand theft Auto, and that half a dollar guy makes you look bad. Don't you agree? Snoopy is your hero.

To 10:29 am. I dont give a flying f--k when you were born Piss poor as excuse of a white person again. Are you to dam good to pick up a book on History that show that you all destroyed a whole continent? you little imbecile little F-k.I'm only 21 and I know my history what's your excuse? speaking of leaving the plantation you all just could not leave it there you all had to bring it to the good old USA.
