It amazes me at how some types love to re-invent themselves, or attempt to re-write history. Take actor Isaiah Washington (see comment ‘Isaiah Washington Out‘) and his ‘coming clean’ on Larry King the other night, where he tries to once more excuse his racism.
In his first interview since he was booted from the show, Washington explained the chain of events that led to his firing during an appearance on CNN’s “Larry King Live” Monday night. (source)
Frankly I am tired of all the bullshit out there, from these Racists. To begin with, so many that leap to his defence, simply because he is Black. Let’s get real here, racists know no color barrier, no religious barrier, nothing. There are racists in all walks of life, straight, gay, Jewish, Muslim, and yes African American too. That is Reality.
If you go read the full story, scroll down to read the comments so called ‘ordinary‘ citizens are posting on this whole issue, it’ll open your eyes a little at just what America is about. The attempt to blame Dempsey for Washington’s remarks, that he was at the root of the problem, not the poor wronged Mr Washington.
Yeah and George Bush will go down in history as the Greatest President ever.
Give me a break here. Isaiah Washington used a slur, not once but twice. There is no Justification for it, no provocation worthy of acceptance. Mr Washington has played the ‘race‘ card and it didn’t work. Now it is the whole ‘I didn’t use the right racist epitaph‘ card. This is bullshit, and after reading the crazy comments, it is rather chilling.
Americans do not get it. Words Hurt, and do a damn sight more damage than a few punches to the face does. Bruises and Wounds can heal, racial slurs and verbal attacks can kill. Ask the 15 year old in England, who simply couldn’t take it any longer. (see comment ‘Hate Claims Another‘), or ask Mathew Shepard.
Oh, wait, you can’t. They are both DEAD.
It is one thing to say you are sorry, another to then go about and try to justify it. To say he was provoked, to say it was taken out of context, to claim it was misunderstood, to say he used a wrong word, simply dilutes the apology, making it worthless really. Isaiah Washington got what he deserved, FIRED.
If this incident shows anything, it shows how Racist America truly is. Read the comments under the CBS article, see for yourself how so many are willing to justify his actions, to accept his racism aka homophobia.
