I have never really heard exactly what Isaiah Washington said about T.R. Knight. Can someone tell me the exact words or wording that was used or said? I have 2 mottos: 1: Do not judge, lest ye be judged. and 2: I refuse to grow up (I’m 49 yrs. old too) I believe that God is the only person who can judge society (no I’m not a religious fanatic, but I do believe in God). If more people decided to change, run and take care of their own lives then they would have no reason to be in others lives. Yes Washington has freedom of speech, as do we all, but think before speaking. If you don’t want your feelings hurt, then don’t hurt others feelings. Everyone has a right to be who they are, no matter what others think.

Washinghton should have the freedom of speech,… just like the rest of us . Sexual prefrence has no place in the work place or the constatution,..

Lee sounds strikingly similar to Mr. Washington. Newsflash, we aren’t afraid of problematic African Americans anymore than problematic German,Irish,Polish,Slovak,etc Americans. It had nothing to do with race or the fact that the “Lily White” cast audience or cast members were as Mr. Washington put it, afraid of the booming black voice of an educated African American. What it did have to do with was the fact that he was a biggot and I’ll assume a homophobe. If the African American orginizations and leaders were in such an uproar about “media accountability” then why does this not apply to all races and all media outlets? Proffesion aside I found him to be arrogant and indignant in his own biggotry and frankly, I hope he gets nothing less than a lifetime of career oppurtunity as a used car salesman. Hell he wasn’t that good of an actor anyway, he was good with a crutch from supporting roles.

Typical response from ABC. What a Joke. The guy made a mistake. I wonder what “token black” ABC is going to go out and get to replace him. Network television is so transparent. Can’t have a “problematic” black guy around, might scare off our lily white audience. I actually enjoyed the show. I wouldn’t watch it now if my life depended on it. Hopefully it’s cancelled next year and then T.R. Knight can go get a role on “Queer Folk” or whatever the hell the name of that show is.

This country is going to hell in a handbasket. People are so uptight about everything and supersensitive beyond belief. The media blows everything out of proportion and everyday morons (such as myself) post their brilliant insight on millions of websites a day. Evidently Isaiah and TR worked out their issues but people with no life and nothing better to do would not drop it. Now he’s been fired, reportedly for being “problematic” in the past as well. An actor who has emotional issues??? NO!! Say it isn’t so!! How do you expect people to behave when they are paid $125,000 for a week’s worth of work?? Like they can do and say anything they want. Huge shock.

First DON IMUS. Now,ISIAH WASHINGTON. This should send a clear sign that the N word the F and the B… and H..E words can’t be casually said anymore. How ever I hope they replace him with another AFRICAN AMERICAN actor. If U haven’t noticed. There’s hardly ANY minority faces on network t.v. right now. What’s up with that.

The statement was inappropriate, but I think the media fueled the ongoing controversy related to the story. I don’t know if I agree with him being fired. I think he is a great actor and I loved the story line between his character and christina. It was obvious that tr was gay even though he was not playing that type of character. I don’t know that I will continue to watch the show. It is losing its medically based story lines and becoming one be soap on and off camera.

Meh, all I can say is that I hope Isaiah Washington’s dismissal will fuel more people to tune into Supernatural.

I’ll miss the character,for Christina’s sake, but what he did was uncalled for so If it had 2 be him or T.R. I chose him cuz I love George!

Although I don’t watch Grey’s, I do feel bad for fans of Burke (although not for Mr. Washington).
