faggot is not a color! it's a strong word for punk! i respect TR as a person. i do not respect his sexual orientation! i respect homosexuals as people. i don't have to respect what they do in their bedrooms.

It's growing increasingly harder to respect IW. There is a pont when we have to hold our heads up with class and dignity and sometimes....just walk away. He needs to learn how to take things like a man.
Pulling the race card is as dispicable as using the term faggot in reference to another person.
Shonda Rhimes is a black woman; two factors that have made it fairly difficult up until recent times to be accepted and respected in Hollywood. There seems to be no evidence to the contrary that she's not both highly successful and deeply respected by the industry and her peers.
I've always stated that while i was saddened to see such a talented actor let go from the show, I also agreed with it. His statements of late are proof that it was perhaps the right decision.

I hate to admit it, but until this moment I did not know this had happened.
I have loved Grey's from day 1 and I have always liked Burke's character, but only on the show. I was shocked to hear the news and wasn't sure of a reaction, but after reading the article above I am sad to read that the race card is being thrown yet again when something happens to a black person. I make no apologies, but I do not and will not use African American since that makes absolutely NO sense to me and I am of that race.
Back to my point: To blame race is insane and if anyone pays attention to the media much how many times does Jesse Jackson or the Rev. Al Sharpton show up at ANY possible race event? Hell, this past week Al Sharpton got involved in Paris Hilton's jail stint since it was an injustice to black people.
I hope that Grey's can survive this since the cast, being so diverse is what really mixed the show up to be different than any other show on TV. I am not disappointed in Grey's for this decision, but rather for the direction they have the show heading.
For those of us that are such Mer/Der fans they are tearing them apart, Chris didn't get married and I hope that they do not opt for the lesbian story line as was mentioned for season 2. I do not see why every show HAS to include a gay character to make it politically correct.
Again, I am sad to see the cast change, but now that I have read the details I am not sad, but upset with IW for not doing the right thing, using the "F" word more than once and now blaming everyone except himself.... that's what my children do!!
Does ACCOUNTIBILITY mean anything anymore? OH, that's right, no one is responsible for anything anymore! I almost forgot!

This is getting pathetic. Isaiah is just making up every excuse that pops into his head to make the public feel sympathetic towards his situation. I am shocked that someone with such talent would stoop to an all-time low, accusing racism as to why ABC will not forgive him. He really has to face the facts and realize the only reason ABC fired him was because of the use of such an outrageous profanity towards a castmate.

It makes me sick how we as a naton founded under god cater to such immoral people as the gay community. I personally don't think they should have rights at all. It will be the down fall of America to allow these people to adopt children and recognize them as a family. Why is everyone so scared to say what they feel? But that's another story. I think IW was great for the show although I don't agree with his view on race.
Akinde Says:
June 29th, 2007 4:45 PM
It is a shame that so many people resort to name calling when this is a place to respond to the issues. The issue at hand is that IW was fired for his actions. Would a white actor have been fired for these same actions? I doubt it. Lindsey Lohan has just been arrested for her third accident in two years in which she was found under the influence of alcohol, and with cocaine in the car. Somehow, she still gets work. Jim Carey has been known to be a very difficult actor to work with and yet his skills made directors overlook it. Human beings are not perfect and although certain mistakes should not be made, people still make them. The reality is that Black people just don't get as many chances as White people do. Black guys fight in the NBA or and they all become thugs and hooligans. White guys fight in the NHL and MLB and its considered normal. There's a 2-minute penalty for a White man, while a Black man's whole career is questioned. Something needs to change. If all people are to be considered equal, then there should be some consistency.
On another note, it is quite sad that people are so ignorant that being Black is compared to being gay. They are both "minorities", but it is totally different. First of all, it is not even proven that people are born gay. It is a lifestyle. You cannot find out if someone is gay from DNA testing. Gay people should still be treated with respect, but don't expect Black people to understand how it feels just because we are both "minorities".

White people can't stand when any one calls racism because they don't believe it exsits since they don't experience it.
Race probably did have something to do with IW's firing but his attitude didn't help anything. Anyway, I liked seeing a strong black man who didn't act like a clown on tv, a rare sight. so, my choice is unless he is replaced with someone equally as strong, I will read a book when grey is on.

They're HUMAN!
I know racisim still exists in this word, and that's sad, but I just don't believe it has anything to do with this decision, and no I don't know exactly what happened that day, but IW seems to make himself look worse the more he speaks. He should just focus on hus future and let this die!

I just don't understand how anyone, including IW, can claim this is all about race. Aren't there two other successful black actors on the show? And the last time I saw her, Shonda Rhimes is black too. It's a slap in the face to these talented people to claim that his contract wasn't renewed because he's black. It's insulting and in this case, a cop out. He's obviously had problems on set and I'm sure the PTB were tired of dealing with a headache. IW had a chance to show some redeeming qualities after all of this, but now, he's just shooting himself and his career in the foot.

Black people in the US and Europe KNOW what they have to deal with everyday of their lives so it is a waste of time explaining this to to other because to put themselves in your shoes and truly share your experiences would be to open their eyes and face an uncomfortable and vicious reality.

Seriously this entire mc chokegate issue was fishy right away from the beginning. Personally I still feel that I don't have enough objective information to decide whose in the wrong and whose in the right here. Naturally Isaiah has enough reason to be upset right now and to present the issue in positive light for him. Yet what if he is speaking the truth and it was never TR he called a the F word. This would shed an entirely diffrent light on the incident and the entire media-coverage thereof. I just feel that the first sources of the incident are from TVGuide and similar sources, so can we really say we got credible unbiased first hand information. I personally tend to feel that I know to little to judge anyone. And frankly speaking right now I couldn't care less I love this show and its characters. I love Burke!!!! It won't be the same show without Isaiah!!! After the seasonfinale with the fighting mountain-men scenes and Shonda's comments on crashing and burning I felt something really bad was still to come but I would have never thought they'd fire Isaiah. I am so sad and still can't quite believe it. I WANT BURKE BACK. I JUST WANT HIM BACK.

I do not agree that IW was fired merely for being black. Sure he made mistakes but maybe..just maybe things would have turned out differently if he was white.

mj Says:

Of course race plays a part in this. If TR had been a gay black person, there wouldn't have been a media frenzy, the actor wouldn't have been on Ellen, and ABC would have either kept both actors or fired them both. Another reason some of the posters want IW/Burke gone is because he is such a great actor, and the characters of Burke and Cristina were overshadowing the Mer/Der characters.
Cat Says:

Is IW (and his supporters) claiming he was fired because of TR Knight's grand Machiavellian plot to take over Grey's Anatomy, ABC and Disney, or is he saying he was fired because of his skin colour? 'Cuz my head is spinning trying to figure out who or what exactly he is accusing of causing the great persecution of Isaiah Washington.

The problem is that IW is too honest for his own good. Words such as nigger or faggot are a extremely common.
However puritan Americans try to ignore that simple fact. The only way to survive under the scrutiny of the American TV audience is to play it well.
Keep your mouth shut, ignore and deny.
That's exactly what IW is not able to do and it goes to show that the man is not afraid to say what others might think.
By trying to set the record straight he is only destroying his future because everyone, from his cast-mates to the bosses of ABC, are too busy trying to keep up appearances.
IW can't damage his career anymore than what some have already done. He is outspoken, but so is KH, but it didn't seem to hurt her career. The people who have been supporting him will continue to support him, and it's great that a reputable magazine is willing to hear his side; that's what good journalism is all about. You go Newsweek --I definitely plan to pick up a copy.

This would be tragic because though I would probably not be watching GA again I really admire Shonda Rhimes and feel for her right now as she watches the controversy and negative publicity the show has acquired. I could of course be wrong; season 4 could well be the best season ever who knows...but For me it will not be the same without the Burke/Christina pairing and I truly believe a huge void will be left with Burkes departure.

Isaiah Washington is wrong in so many ways.
1) He was the person who in the beginning made that comment about T.R. Knight. It doesn't matter if he wasn't talking to T.R. when he made, he said, and he did it twice. This shouldn't be turned around saying that people can't swear, or people can't speak their minds in America; they can, and they are. People at Grey's swear too (probably many fans have seen the bloopers video where are they say is f***, and sh**.) It's not about that. It's actually the opposite. Isaiah had, and has absolutely no right to act like a victim when he made a homophobic comment against T.R. It's entirely unethical and he set himself up since he did that.
2) Isaiah keeps digging deeper into the whole stressing the fact that a "black" man got fired. That is just hypocritical, because he was last year who was on Oprah praising Grey's Anatomy for having such a diverse cast and praising Shonda Rhimes for that. He, himself knows that it was not a racist decision. He was the one being disciminating of T.R. and of the people he represents.
3) When one is LET GO, not fired (because Isaiah's contract was over and Shonda Rhimes chose not to renew it) and especially after making news about continually denying homophobic comments against one of his own colleagues, it is best to keep your dignity. I dont know what's happening with him, my respect for him from the beginning of season three, to right now has dropped rock bottom. He needs to go on; he was let go, it wasn't a racist move like he's in a way trying to say, it's not T.R. Knight's fault when T.R. Knight was the one who insultet by Isaiah himself, it was Isaiah fault. He's a grown up man, he's not an unexperiences 20 year old guy, he needs to learn to accept this.
Well I guess it doesen't matter what anyone says, he will tell his side of the story, whether people like it or not, but I'm sure he appreciates that everyone is so concerned about him.

3) When one is LET GO, not fired (because Isaiah's contract was over and Shonda Rhimes chose not to renew it) and especially after making news about continually denying homophobic comments against one of his own colleagues, it is best to keep your dignity. I dont know what's happening with him, my respect for him from the beginning of season three, to right now has dropped rock bottom. He needs to go on; he was let go, it wasn't a racist move like he's in a way trying to say, it's not T.R. Knight's fault when T.R. Knight was the one who insultet by Isaiah himself, it was Isaiah fault. He's a grown up man, he's not an unexperiences 20 year old guy, he needs to learn to accept this.

Well I guess it doesen't matter what anyone says, he will tell his side of the story, whether people like it or not, but I'm sure he appreciates that everyone is so concerned about him.

Looks like we all have the same problem of letting go. I guess that's why I've commented more than once.
