Jan 19 2007Isaiah Washington apologizes for hating gay people

washington-knight-apology.jpg

In response to a statement issued by ABC expressing their disapproval, Isaiah Washington has issued a formal apology for calling T.R. Knight a "faggot" and then using the word "faggot" again at the Golden Globes. He says:

"I apologize to T.R., my colleagues, the fans of the show and especially the lesbian and gay community for using a word that is unacceptable in any context or circumstance. By repeating the word Monday night, I marred what should have been a perfect night for everyone who works on Grey's Anatomy. I can neither defend nor explain my behavior. I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I've asked for help.

I know the power of words, especially those that demean. I realize that by using one filled with disrespect I have hurt more than T.R. and my colleagues. With one word, I've hurt everyone who has struggled for the respect so many of us take for granted. I welcome the chance to meet with leaders of the gay and lesbian community to apologize in person and to talk about what I can do to heal the wounds I've opened.

T.R.'s courage throughout this entire episode speaks to his tremendous character. I hold his talent, and T.R. as a person, in high esteem. I know a mere apology will not end this, and I intend to let my future actions prove my sincerity."

I didn't even know who these guys were until two days ago so I'm not gonna start pretending like I care. This is probably the last time either of them appears on the site unless one of them turns out to be Dracula or something.

He's just another smiling, angry, violent, coon... They can't help assaulting people. It's in their unevolved DNA.

Backtracking bastard!

Give the nigger a break for calling the knobjockey a faggot.

shut the hell up #1

i'm glad he finally apologized, and it at least sounded sincere...bcuz I had really liked him and his character as a black actor on a major program like this until his comment. hopefully this wasnt all bullshit for the press. its doubtful, but I can dream

Only a Gray's Anatomy love scene between Isaiah and JR or TR or whatever his name is will heal the rift.
Or how about a big, sloppy mouth kiss between the two of them on The View?

Man, even when that guy tries to stop digging the hole, he sure can run his mouth, eh? Next we'll hear he was drunk and has entered rehab. That seems to be the excuse du jour.

I call bullshit! He went public "again" saying he positively could have NEVER said anything like that. Then he comes back and makes a public apology. Big frickin' whoop.

Good actor or not, he can go fuck a goat. I would have much more respect if he just went public from the get go and admitted he made the comment.

Why is this here anyway?

Oh God, who cares? He'll be going into rehab next - claiming "insult addiction."

#4 don't feed race baiting trolls. it only makes them more annoying.

People are getting all together too sensitive. So, the dude was called a faggot. Whatever. Why is it anything we need to know about? So, go to the other guy and tell him he's an asshole. Done. Why beg for a fake apology? It's total bullshit. I'm so sick of hearing about people apologizing. They don't really mean they are sorry. They are just appeasing the people around them so they can save face. So what, now these nobodies are best buddies? They are both assholes.

Michael Richards is crying tears of joy... overheard mumuring "I love that nigga..."

How's he supposed to apologize for calling him a faggot without saying he called him a faggot?

#12 that's what all the hoopla is about. not so much that he said it it the first time, because that died down and went away. it was the fact that he claimed he didn't call him a faggot at the golden globes and people were upset over the use of the word there. he kinds reopened the issue again which was worse than saying nothing at all.

the whole thing is getting stupid. expecting people to apologize so they can keep their fame or career only teaches children to apologize for personal gain not sincerity.

1) Who the hell are these guys?
2) The black dude looks more gay than the white dude - which one is the fag?
3) Everyone is so sensitive about words. Idiots like this will help to eradicate the 2nd ammendment.
4) FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT

There, I said it. Big deal. The ice caps haven't melted, Al Qaida hasn't atacked, God hasn't struck me with a bolt of lightning.

#12 - He has to say faggot. If he said "F-word" people would think he was saying "fuck", or "fart", or "funk" or "frapucino"

I know, these faggots need to stop acting like such ....err...faggots, I mean they can dish it out but they sure can't take it like.....err ...men.

oh boy

....cause if reversed happened: a'la T.R using the N-bomb, not once but twice...he woulda been canned the next day. that is why. fire his ass.

I think the perfect apology would be:

Isaiah Washington: "I'm sorry I called you a faggot, TR."

Tr Knight: "That's ok, nigger, I forgive you."

Ah yes, the old Liberal Bullshit Censorship on the First Amendment.......demand the apology for free speech, but call anyone with a differing opinon than yours wrong.

FAGGOT FAIRY HOMO FUDGE-PACKER BUTT-PILOT QUEER SISSY ASS-BANDIT FRUIT FEM QUEEN TWINKLE TOES MAMMA'S BOY BROKEBACK FLAMER BALLERINA

For those who watch Grey's Anatomy, it's pretty amazing to watch these guys interact with each other on the show while knowing what happened in the real world.

It seems the gay mafia isn't as powerful as it would like itself to believe it is. Guess it's not, God is watching over this country and no one shall escape judgment, you wanna be a degenerate, that's fine, but don't expect everyone to bend over backwards or to embrace you for it.

wait for it.....

the first amendment applies to public institutions (just in case the kids are reading and wondering if their sixth-grade teacher got it all wrong).

He's ashamed to be a faggot. Didn't this out him? They should both apologize for being on Grey's Anatomy. And for existing. And for Grey's Anatomy existing.

Isn't Grays Anatomy that show about the gang of homo med students who abduct straight people and torture and try to convert them to be queers and then ritualistically kill and eat the entrails of the ones who refuse? And then have big gay orgies in the OR at the end of each episode with the ones who do cross over?

What? That's not the show? Oh..........

haha #11, I was thinking the SAME thing! That stupid bullshit contrived press release is a joke. Yeah, I am SURE he admires his co-star who, just a week ago, he called a faggot. And that Michael-Richards-inspired "I want to meet with leaders of the gay community so I can begin the healing" --- PUH-LEAZE. What a bunch of bullshit.

Give the man a break. Caspers LIVE to be gay. This man just seems to LIVE to make fun of them.

Nothing's wrong with that.

T.R. do us a favor & find some sunlight and a hairbrush in your life. No fag ever puts on a suit looking like he just rolled out of bed in the morning. Cripes!! Nice pink shirt though.

#17 - LMAO.
#18 - you forgot "KnobJockey", so I'm assuming that jrz is being trolled again?

Great. So from now on whenever a celebutard says something fucked up about a group of people they're gonna wanna have a pow wow with the leaders of the "community" of which they've offended?

Can you imagine? How many would have to say, "We'd like to have a meeting with the leaders of the Superficial readers."

nope, wedge, it's me.

I did forget the following:

KNOB-GOBBLER ASS-PIRATE GREEK TOOTY-FROOTY LIMP-WRIST

I'm Mark Twain.

don't forget poo-stabber

and BUTT BUDDY

is it just me or should black people be the last people who should discriminate against gays? i mean, blacks were (and still are sometimes) oppressed for centuries, so why would they want to do that to someone else? stupid stupid stupid.

'He called me a faggot! I'm not a fagg.. er well.. I am queer, I mean gay, I mean I'm a moe, er I'm super faggot!'

'He called me an African American (even though there are white people born in Africa)! I'm not an African Amer.. I'm black, no I'm a negro, er I'm a nig.. I'm on Grey's Anatomy!'


Words.

I just lol'd at this picture because it looks like the white guy is wearing a big pointy grey hat at that angle. It makes him look 10 years old!!

Another homophobic black guy? now really is that news??

This is going to make their love scenes awkward.

Why do fuck-stains always have to bring up "color" when a story is posted about someone other than the whitebread fuck-ups that flood this site on a daily basis? Get over yourselves. You're worthless twats who do nothing but abandon babies, OD, screw anything on two legs and hand out STD's like they're party favors.

IN other news-
Why all of you Caspers are busy destroying the world (ie: Bush) African-Americans are continuing to rise socially and economically.


Continue on.

...I still don't see what the big deal is.

WHY should he have to apologize? Because Perez Hilton is boycotting ABC? Get a fucking grip, maybe he called the dude a faggot but it was their own personal conversation. The only person he has to apologize to is the faggot, er, I mean TR.

People, seriously. Can we stop getting so "offended" every time someone speaks these days? I get more offended by people who cut me off in traffic on the way to work. We all have our own opinions, can't we just agree that they all cancel each other out and consider it a wash? I mean, people who live in glass houses....I'm just sayin! Cant we just agree that opinions are like assholes and call it day?????

@38... It's called *sarcasm* look into it. Besides, picking on the gay boy is okay, but not the black man?

RUMP-RANGER

DanYELL--

You are always one of the first to start with Casper this and cracker that.

The reason many comments mention race here is because if the faggot started this pissy dance by saying, "Where is that fucking nigger? I'm tired of the CP time he be runnin', yo!" the network would have fired said pooftah immediately.

This spear-chucking, watermelon-stealing, white-woman-looking-at, sleeping-in-the-sun spook catches a break because he is just a nog calling out, "Queer!" Caspers don't usually get a second chance when it comes to screaming, "Nigger!"

But, come on now. These are just words and nobody is realy getting hurt. Right?

i was looking at the pic of these two asswipes for 2 seconds and i'm still wondering

who dealt it, and who smelt it?

i don't recognize either of them from anything relevant, current, or hell even fucking trivial, EVER.

Let's not forget FRIEND OF DOROTHY!

Danielle sure is hating on us honkey's today.

It must be one of those "heavy flow" days in the projects.

PROTEIN EXCHANGER
SALAMI HIDER

oh.
"Grey's Anatomy".

Katherine Heigl is fucking hot.

Do'h!

There was no need for the possessive in "honkeys."

I needs to get me sum edumacation.

i dont get it. the dude calls the guy a faggot, he comes out right afterwards. whats wrong with calling it how you see it? and being right! nigga should be congratulated, if anything. damn

Why don't they just change the name of the show to "Gay's Anatomy?"

Something tells me lots of posters are happy they can have yet another reason to call someone a nigger.

Guaozers.

Go fuck yourslef JimmyBoy..no one else ever will.


Asshat.

Who cares?!BOoOring!!

Listen DanYELL, you big elephant.........the only color I'm talking about here is PINK--as in Faggot Pink. I didn't say shit about blacker than the ace of spades, so got the fuck back to bed.

who's birthday is it? That birthday hat is gay.

"See youi in re-run hell, motherfucker..."

"See you in re-run hell, motherfucker..."

@51... They are *words* you dipshit. Which is the whole point. Be an adult. Don't look for an apology every time someone calls you a naughty word. Don't go whining to a bunch of people who don't give a shit. Deal with it. Is every single black man on the face of the planet off limits? So you're defending the black man from being called something racist... even the black man who calls his co-worker a faggot? Besides, you just called the guy the n word. I refused to type it out, because it's gross, but that's your business. Man, the irony is just rampant.

What's a guaozer?

@59... I don't know, but I'm offended anyway.

First of all DanYELLL- Simmer down..And pssst. I think many chics would fuck BigJim, the fucker is hot. Anyway....

The most important thing that needs to be addressed is this-
WTF is with that guy's pale as a ghost face?? For fucks sake, he needs to take his face out of assholes and get some damn sun. Everytime I see this faggot, he looks hideously white. I hope the black guy does NOT apologize for calling him a faggot. He is, in fact, a faggot.

But this Isiah seems like a an idiot too so much like the O'Donnell/Trump thing, I hope they beat eachother to a pulp. That is all... for now.

60-I think Normella needs to issue a public apology to all the Guaozers of the world and meet with the leaders of the Guaoish community to get an understanding of what life is like as a Guaozer, you know? Like, their struggle and the hate crimes committed against Guaozses.

DanYELLesque is in the hizz-ouse!

I think it's like yawo zers? like wow zers. like wow- in mexican.

SHIT! COCK! BALLS! Ok, you don't have to celebrate it, Frank.

Well, it sounds to me like normella is an anti-guaoite.

BTW- Funny as hell posts!! Props to Jim for-- NO STRANGER TO ANAL DANGER

#33 meee or whatever- Uhhhh- Just a little bit irritating and politically correct....

@62... Those Guaozers struggle for their place in the world and all they get is shit on.

#62 jrz- bwahahahaha!

think about how hard it would be to be a gay guaozer. You know no one CHOOSES that life!

Once you go guaoite you never go back.

I hear Danielle likes Doberman cock up her ass.

68--Next thing you know normella will want the Guaozers to drink out of seperate water fountains. I bet normella locks her car doors when she goes to a Guaozer neighborhood.

As far as I'm concerned Chris Rock was right, there's black people and then there's NIGGEZ. I feel no sympathy for this little queer either. But let's just say that mr. washington's overall behavior toward his co-workers places him in the second category, nigga has committed assault on the set, he's no black people.

It's just wrong. I mean my neighbor is a Guaoite. He is well spoken and doesn't sit on the porch all day.

Slim--Grand Opening? Grand closing!

Oh shit, a damnYELL gangbang and I didn't get the email??? Where's the love?

By the way, anyone who uses the term "African-American" is a race-baiter filled with self hate. If you feel the need to hyphenate yourself, try ass-hole or fuck-face. It's Black, people... with a capital B. Besides, we all know who's African-American when we get the resume and it says Laquishita. "But Rich, you large cocked sage," you say, "Black people aren't really like the color black, they're more shades of brown, king ding-a-ling," to which I respond "And white folks are usually pink. What's your fucking point?"

@74... word.

OH, totally, 75--I have Guaoite friends! I let my kids play with Guaozers! And you're right, some of them speak so well!

@79... Guaoites are really good athletes too. And those are some sharp dressers!

@79- It's cause the went to the Guaozer school for kids that don't read real good and want to do other things good too.

I had a Guaoite once... cute little hairy fucker. Had 'em diapers until the age og about three. Then he got too violent and I had to release him back in the wild.

But I don't know if I'd want one of my kids to marry a Guaozer, though. I mean, culturally, there's just so much of a gap.

Personally, I love the Guaoites. I'm fond of their shiny teeth. How do they do that? Do they come that way?
@83... I don't think we want to go and mix the Guaozers with regular folk either.

like a black and a gay?

My best friend's mom is a Guaozer, but her dad isn't. The poor girl is a mixed up mess.

I bet that poor child is called a Guaobra every day of her life. People can be so hateful.

@86 She could go to G.A. Guaozers Annonymous. A support group is imortant.

I wouldn't!!! All it takes is for some, some, hate-filled fanatic like normella to find out a bunch of Guaozers are meeting somewhere and her and her friends will firebomb the place!

What...? damnYELL put her hoisted fist and afro pick back in her ass? Very disappointing...

Guess so, Rich. I think she had to go to the library to find some more Black Panther shit in history books to paraphrase...you know, she's not very original.

I'm glad though because I don't think I could possibly tolerate her bellowing today.

*wink, wink*
*whispering that ought to get her to come back tee hee.*

@87... Words hurt. "Guaobra" is one of the worst. She runs to the HR department every time. They are really good at throwing some pity towards her for a bit. Then she's all cheered up. So, really I don't know why she complains. I guess it's people like Normella. They just hate her for having the Guaozers blood... um, helllo, she's also part *normal*.

I wish Congress would enact a law that gives Guaozers some protected status. Maybe they could open some casinos.

this guy is an idiot. people have been trying to out richard simmons for decades and Richard hasn't cracked under pressure nor has evidence surfaced. and we alllllll know he's gayer than elton john riding george micheal down the hill in a pink sleigh.

Awesome! Now that I've officially influenced everyone to use the word "Guao" in different ways, I can finalize my plan to take over the world. Wuhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa

I leave for an hour to pretend to work and everyone's ganging up on me left and right. I lurve it.

I guess this means I can never be part of your oh-so-cool clique now, eh? I really wanted to be, too.

Can I blame this on Danielle?

Does your plan to take over the world involve you blowing your brains out in an underground bunker? If so, I'm game!

Nice comparison to Hitler. I likes!

98--Excellent. Let's skip over the global domination part and fast foward to the head shot part and move on!

But that wouldn't be fun enough. Nothing screams, "super cool" like an attempt to take over the world, followed by a tragic demise.

Correction, nothing screams "super cool" like the world being rid of another jerk off. Now, go on and get that big toe ready for the shotgun trick.

Why so much anger and disdain?

Is it because I'm a black gay?

@93... That's brilliant! Give the Guaozers their own land too. That way they are out of our hair.

Was that too much? Dang it.

*Slur in moderation. Slur in moderation.*

danielle (cracker name):
It's funny, most of the stories on the Superfish are about the cracker man. You seem to like reading them.
And keep trying to smack-talk with politics. Aside from Condi Rice, you ain't got shit. (And she's bush's right-hand man...)

Pillow-biter

The Gay Mafia in Hollywood will make this guy crawl, because DURING AN ARGUMENT WITH HIS CO-WORKER the word "faggot" was said. It's hate speech, the guy deserves to be prosecuted, and the way we're going in this once free-country, he probably will.

TURD TAPPER

come on now...fifty years ago BOTH of these fools would be upside-down with forks in their asses!

(but only tr would enjoy it.)

@22
Agreed. Grey's Anatomy fucking sucks.

You forgot cock gobbler, sack nuzzler, pole pilot, turd hurdler, ball goggler, and Nancy-boy.

Shaft grappler, wang wrangler, dung juggler...

In other news that you actually give a fuck about, Harry Morton took a shit, cussed Lohan the entire time.

#1 where have you been living in the backwoods somewhere, "Coon?" And you are superior because you're white? Please. I hope your existance in life is worth more than that. Show us something #1 maybe some intelligence or heart.
Bottom line. He shouldn't have said it, period, and he should be punished. Race has nothing to do with it.

t.r. knight owes Isaiah Washington an apology:
Washington/Knight "egged" up "fight"
For GLAAD to compare Isaiah Washington's "alledged"(@ the time) comments to Michael Richards tirade in a public venue is irresponsible & a "mountain" has been made out of a "mole hill" because it could have been handled Man 2 Man or any other parties INVOLVED On The SET. I've walked up on people talking behind my back on the job & I just had to straighten them out up close & personal. An on set verbal slight whereupon Knight decided to be a vindictive chump & pump up with "bullies" because he wouldn't "man-up", every person should be self-asserting and how about on location not center stage to besmerch a fellow-thespian over a slight which he could have easily aswaged himself. I don't have NO LOVE 4 U t.r. knight(small, small person).
I'm mad @ glaad, usually do good work 4 the real injustices of gay rights, i.e., violent crimes & civil injustices against gays BUT this CHARADE is farsical! It would be ludicrous if it weren't TOTAL Character ASSASINATION 4 something 2 b handled internally on set for a verbal slippage(I bet Mr. Washington likes him more than the word he uttered & needed only 2 b rudely awakened to gain his bearings by t.r. knight, himself). All the scandals & skeletons of today & yesteryear Plasticwood!

That guy on the left is a very dark coloured nigga!

BJ007? Are you drunk? Seriously. Use a period now and then.

bj2007 sounds like your usual, irrational, dumb, idiot, coon.

#18 "Ah yes, the old Liberal Bullshit Censorship on the First Amendment..."

Gotta be the dumbest thing I've read on here lately, which is really saying something. ABC is a private corporation, and like any other it includes "morality" clauses in its contracts (you can be fired for acting like a degenerate and causing harmful negative reactions toward the company). It's their capital, they make the rules; if you choose to be a paid employee, you follow the rules, and apologize when you break them (if you're valuable enough to avoid being fired). Whining about censorship of free speech in the private sector is mindless liberalism (or maybe just mindless).

I can't wait to see a bunch of fags jump Washington and kick the living shit out of him. Blacks are the biggest hypocrites in America. Play the race/victim card every single time then turn around and call someone a faggot for no reason. Fire this nigra a.s.a.p.

To the douchebag @119: If what I wrote is the dumbest thing you've read here in a long time than you obviously have the IQ of a styrofoam cup. If someone calls me a bitch, I wouldn't DEMAND an apology on behalf of all women. It's the touchy feely left wing fuckfaces that ruin free speech. The dude said something out of anger and when you say something out of anger you say the thing that's gonna sting the most--DUH! To make such a huge fucking issue out of this--demanding apologieis, requesting to meet with community leaders--come the fuck on! It's absurd. So what? He called the dude a faggot. Sticks and stones. People need to get the fuck over themselves.

He works for ABC. ABC makes a lot of money from advertising during popular TV shows. Most big-money advertisers don't want to be associated with slurs (real or perceived), so they're always ready to pull their ads. ABC doesn't want ads pulled, so when Washington fucked up again after everything had blown over, they made him go into overblown (no pun intended) apology mode. ABC is just taking care of its bottom line (oh boy...as Slim would say) and making this a big deal out of fear of potential lost revenue. As any self-respecting Corleone would say, it's not personal, it's business. And it still has absolutely nothing to do with constitutional protection against government regulation of free speech.

I DON'T KNOW WHY HE RAGS ON GAYS. HE IS A NIGGER FOR GOD'S SAKE. BLACKS ARE MISTAKES BY GOD HIMSELF. THEY WERE BURNED IT WAS A MISTAKE THEY CAME OUT. THEY ARE MONKEYS. WE KNOW THIS DON'T WE?

ALL FAGGOTS GO TO HELL! BURN BURN BURN FAG BURN. YOU SICK NASTY FAGGOTS SHOULD FEEL LIKE SHIT BECAUSE YOU'RE NASTY AND DIRTY. I WONDER IF THAT GUY'S FATHER FUCKED HIM IN THE ASS AND MAKE HIM A HOMO HEHEHEHE

I HATE GAYS, THEIR FAMILY HATES THEM, THE WORLD HATES THEM. THEY ARE SICK FREAKS THAT SOULD BE TREATED LIKE SO. THEY HAVE GROUPED TOGETHER AND HAVE BECAME 1 SICK BUNCH.... ALL OF US NORMAL PEOPLE HATE GAYS!!!!

WHITE POWER, ASIAN POWER, BLACK POWER, MEXICAN POWER , WORLD POWER BUT X THE FAGS.

I'M PART OF THE K.T.F (KILL THE FAG)GROUP

geez louiz....well, i guess he got dropped

he's a faggot then he's a [insert racist insult]
