Isaiah Washington racism excuse
Former "Grey's Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington whines that he was fired because he was black. Apparently, he told Newsweek that "someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got really scared and that was the beginning of the end for me."
Perhaps he was watching too many Samuel L. Jackson flicks.
So for some reason, he alleges that everyone was afraid of a 6-foot-1 black man who is not submissive and is not a plantation-raised person.
I wonder if someone from the NAACP told him to use that reasoning.
Of course he tried to make amends by expressing remorse and volunteering to enter a counseling program to understand how the confrontation got out of hand, he told Newsweek.
Yep, he wanted to blame someone else for his mistakes.
Sigh...

Yes, and they are going to blacklist Koreans for the killing too. I think too much movies will do people more harm as it can really isolate one from reality. ;-)

racism ???? Is this dude for real ? He's the one who showed predjudice in this case ??? Stop pulling the race card you idiot, you're just making yourself look like even more of a jerk !!! How pathetic can you be ??? I do not tolerate racism in any form what so ever and if he had a valid point, I'd agree however Washjington is just making a mockery of what SO MANY minorities fought for and to get a way from for years, Hopefully the world now sees his true colors (,__ And NO, Isaiah,before You ry to sue me too, "True COlors" does NOT have anything to do with your skin !!!
