I sort of don't care about Isaiah Washington. He's like that girl, you know? That girl that gets dumped and can't get over it? And rather then having some dignity and just walking down the halls with her head held high, she's got to trash talk the hell out of her offending ex-beau. Oh, and she's black. And even though the break up didn't have anything to do with that, she's telling everyone that it did. Ah, young love. Here's some of the stuff she he has had to say about his recent headline grabbing firing:
“On his argument with Patrick Dempsey which resulted in the epic "faggot" debacle: Patrick Dempsey and I had a disagreement that got out of hand and that I regret a great deal. I said a lot of negative things that were never reported, but one word caught everyone’s attention, particularly someone who wasn’t even in the room with us. Someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got really scared and that was the end.”
Yea, you got them there, Isaiah. White folks don't know what to do when they hear a black man's voice. Most of them run screaming straight onto the set of the Ellen show where it's safe.
Regarding the prejudice he feels surrounds his termination from the show: "It didn’t help me that I was a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn’t speak like I’d just left the plantation and that can be a problem for people sometime. I had a person in HR tell me after this thing played out that some people were afraid of me around the studio. I asked her why, because I’m a 6-foot-1, black man with dark skin and who doesn’t go around saying ‘Yessah, massa sir’ and ‘No sir, massa’ to everyone?
Seriously? You...I mean...oh fuck it. You got them, Isaiah. You got them good. They replaced you with these guys. Sorry to be the one to have to tell you.
