Washington is just using rehab as an ‘out.’ ABC isn’t going to fire him because he’s one of the major characters…Although many may want him to leave, he is pry staying put. His paycheck on the other hand, may suffer.

Why is it ok for black people to call each other the “N” word and every white person who hears this shall never speak the word. If it is so bad, why do you keep repeating it. I do not go up to my friends and say What’s up Cracker?. I just don’t understand if you don’t respect your own people, how can anyone else????

Well Tessa,

I understand your feelings, but I’d still just as soon not get to a place where you think that it’s your responsibility to “just get over it” if you work somewhere where someone refers to you as an ignorant c*nt. I would hope that you would stand up for yourself and demand to be respected in the workplace. I would also hope that you would expect your employers to stand with you.

How far do you want to go to defend inapproriate speech and actions in the workplace? Is it OK for some guy to grab your tit, or pinch your ass? Is it OK for someone make jokes about how you probably grew up screwing your father and brothers?

Where do you think the line should be drawn when it comes to acceptable behavior and language in the workplace?

Does anything go because you feel:
“freedom of speech, freedom. He has the right to say and express his thoughts.”?

The rehab thing? Don’t sweat it – it’s a joke. He attended 5 days of anger management classes – that’s it. “Re-hab” is the “in” term these days for anyone who needs to try and clean up their public image, that’s all.

I agree with James, freedom of speech, freedom. He has the right to say and express his thoughts. If america is so called free why is everyone making a big deal over it. How can it be a disrespect thing if its true. I dont use the word, and i do have gay friends, And i’m totally loving T.R Knight and Isaiah Washington. I think they should hug and make mends. We all say things that offend others, thats what we call the right to speak. God gave us a mouth to say what we want and he also gave us a brain to think what we want. Whats the difference. I say were not as free as we thing we are. If a black man has to go to REHAB for saying the word “faggot” its totally out rages. ABC keep up the good work, Keep Isaiah Washington on the show. And T.R Knight, there the best.

The “N” word has everything to do with it. It’s used as a racial slur. The “F” word was used slur. Although it’s not racial, I guess it’s a social slur since gays come in all races. The point I was making is simply this, be it the “N” or the “F” it’s used to berate, humiliate and hurt.
Let’s be real, in corprate america racial slurs are used all the time, although behind closed doors, or in secret meetings, and if you are fortunate no one finds out about it.
I think blacks really do need to get used to it. Desensitize the word, that way when it’s said it can’t hurt or it’s rolls off your back. Yes the word has been a term of hate and degradation, however the way I see it, as long as someone knows a certain word, phrase, or term hurts you they will use it to break you.
I am not in agreement as far as what he said but it’s how he felt at the moment.
How may of us have allowed our true feelings to slip in the heat of passion and said or done something and later regret it?
I’m sorry but everyone now days try to hard to be politicaly correct.
