Talking about things that really don't matter. Mr. Washington of Grey's Anatomy. Yes, he was wrong for calling his cast mate a "Fag", but I don't think it's the end of the world. A heart felt apology and some superbowl tickets should heal all wounds. I will say however, that forcing him to go to some rehab or whatever isn't going to change him one bit. You can't rehab personality. He is who he is. The problem is he makes black folks look bad. It's already hard enough for (BF) to get major roles on primetime and he isn't helping the next black stars that follow him. With any luck he won't be killed off and he does something that changes his image. People will continue to watch the show, but when Isiah's face is shown a round of boos will follow. I've seen some comparisons on other sites between the F word and the N word. STOP. Let's not make this mistake. Similar in use, but way more powerful on the N side.
Like DUI drivers on the road i'm gone!!!

Spoken like a true heterosexual. Shame Nizzle...Shame!
Now, I must admit, I think that it's unfair to compare the two words--as one was used to oppress an entire race for several hundred years. But, at the same time, I recognize they (both the "F" word and the "N" word) could both be equally hurtful to hear.
Being a counselor and all, I usually support all kinds of therapy. Dog therapy, couples therapy, therapy therapy, etc. However, the idea of someone going to Homophobic Rehab is a bit silly. I mean really...what do they do ...show inkblots of feminine men to densensitize the homophobic? Ridiculous. Makes a mockery of the field.
I think I'm more annoyed that he did it twice.
Why do all the idiots make all the money??
Well said.
