God Bless and good luck to Mr. Washington. And I truly believe that he is misunderstood and that people do have these misconceptions about him.

Dude, you compared yourself to Malcom X. Lame.
And we all know that you're not a homophobe, just an overmasculine ass that used a usually homophobic word to describe someone that you thought was weak.
That being said, it doesnt save you from being an ass.
I loved you on "Ghost Ship".

I wish him all the best with his current and future projects and I really hope to see him again soon!

I'm happy that IW is moving on with his life and wish him the very best. I would hope that he will continue any good works in which he was participating. But he's no longer on GA, can we move on already??? Is this really GA news anymore?

If Grey's Anatomy Insider would stop posting articles about him, whether it is about the show or his personal endevors and remove him all together, maybe we could.

There are keeping it fresh by still talking about him. They continue to pour salt in the wound by not letting it go. So how can the fans.
I agree with Burke Backer. It's hard to watch Seasons 1 & 2 when you know that it's all going to end terribly.
Good luck to Isaiah Washington. He was my favorite on Grey's, but it looks like he has bigger plans.

Wow vicky, your comments are simply inspiring and so true they really resonate with me - ABC, his castmates, Shonda R may not have his back but God does and you know what?...that is all he needs. I really wish him well and hope that good things come out of what must have been a harrowing experience. I will miss Burke greatly, his relationship with Cristina (and that cocky but cool manner of his) were virtually the only reasons I tuned in to watch GA and I doubt that I will be following it as avidly as I did before. We all had our favourite people I guess and for me Burke and Cristina were awesome. I'll be keeping an open mind about the fate of GA - Shonda has been brilliant thus far at keeping the fans entertained and I'm sure she and the suits at ABC realise how important it is to fill the void left by IW with great storylines..so..we'll see. I wish them well too, certainly I would not want to see Shondas project fail or the other stars like EP, SO job hunting again. The best that can come out if this fiasco is that GA AND Isaiah go from strength to strength!
I think it's sad that a couple of bad decisions will define this man's, or any man's, career. We all make mistakes and say things that we either don't mean or didn't think through. I find it irritating that the network and the show's producers were unable to work with Isaiah through this and perhaps work toward a public show of forgiveness and strength.

I loved Isaiah on GA and will miss him greatly, and I hope to see some more of his talent in the near future. I really think he is a great actor, and I wish him all the best!

Bring him back on the show. Please don't pull an ER and start getting rid of the best characters.

Watching GA was almost like a religion for me,and it is a real let down knowing that Isaiah will not be a part of the fourth season. I really loved his character and I am going to miss him. Right now I am not sure if I will love it as much.

I wonder if Isaiah will ever get a gig on mainstream TV or movies again. It seems to me that he has been permanently blacklisted. I'm hoping not.
Burke Backer Says:
June 21st, 2007 5:09 PM
I agree, Tamara. Anyone who does not think that Grey's Anatomy will be as good without Isaiah Washington is nuts. He was an integral part of the cast and Preston Burke and Cristina's relationship an integral part of the storylines. He will be greatly missed.

"I don't know. Maybe for 50 years and the history of media and television, I represent something that's supposed to not exist. This happened to Malcolm X, to Paul Robeson. A misconception can happen to any man of power that loves himself and wants to spread that love and that humanity throughout the world."
Wow! Yes what an amazing man! *rolls eyes* He's arrogant blowhard. Does he really think he's a man of power? He's an ACTOR.
Summer you hit the nail right on the head, with your statement. I agree 100%

Why will a black manager fire a black man. Is he because he is black. I guess if a white guy had made the comment he would have not been fired. Isiah is right the racial adversity we all face and the inequality is being exhibited in his case and i believe sincerely the black manager needs to be fired for showing favoritism and being biased becuase a black man made a comment towards a white guy, i call this ridiculous and that shows we black americans how stupid and dumb we are, of being blindfolded by the white folks.

He is really great. Of course everyone make mistakes but everyone diserves a second chance in life.
The show is not the same with out him, he is a great "cardiologist". I dont like that blond chick she Soooooo not Grey's Anatomy.

How can they take away a hot guy, one of the main leads. Replace it with sm Dr. Hahn female. Ruin the balance, and not get some really hot guy on if they have to replace Dr. Burke. However, he is irrreplaceable ! so they were probably smarter to get a female. That way, no question of a comparison.
The day they want to get the show balanced they' ll have to bring back IW and work out the Burke angle properly and sensitively. Not the muck pulled in Season 3. blah to the show w/o IW. Media liars and network politics ruined the show.
