Isaiah Washington NAACP Image Awards

[PakaloloSwami]

The NAACP is a racist and terrorist group of uneducated Black Supremacists

[Geezyone]

"Black" is an umbrella term like "Latino" dumbasses

[kyox89]

he rocked grey's anatomy thats why he got the award.

[VeronicasPlace]

I think Isiah got had a lot of heat unfairly put on him.

[harveysuperboy]

Yeah and we found out too that TR and Kat are so full of it and racist too.

[molecularist]

call me idealistic but i detest that we must think of people as colours. a room full of black people honouring other black people talking about being black. jesus cant we just be people, not colours?

[deborahwa]

not when many will call one man an "actor" and another a "black actor." Both should be called actors (or anything). Black, Latin, Country, etc. award shows give recognition for outstanding work by individuals/groups who would normally not be given recognition. They are not meant to be prejudicial.

[zuzuzmith]

@molecularist That's exactly what the NAACP Image Awards is about. Kids must be taught to be prejudiced, and the media and movies are a big part of that.

One day people might not even think about if they're writing a "black" or "white" part or casting a black or white (or Asian, hispanic, etc) person in a tv show, and it will have a lot to do with advocacy and activism.

[AnoukaKC]

the 'f' word is Fu(k, not faggot.

[tremlk]

never compare the n word to the f word men and women have been rapped, beaten, murdered and separated from their families and dehumanized based on the n word. Over 100 million africans died on the middle passage alone to build America. To keep from appearing to be racist just say the n word in stead of using the word n@#$ger.

[artichan]

the f word comes from people such as homosexuals being burned alive because they are different. It is the exact same thing.

[harveysuperboy]

Amen.

[zuzuzmith]

@tremlk I think the word faggot can be compared to the N-word. Up until the early 70's gays and crossdressers were routinely arrested at gay bars and raped, beaten, occasionally killed by police. Gay teenagers are still being thrown out on the streets by their parents and forced to become prostitutes. I've never met a gay person who HASN'T gotten assaulted at least once and called slurs numerous times.

It's not about trying to compare total suffering over hundreds of years. It's hate speech!

[three3two2one1]

Isaiah Washington is a class Actor, I only watched this show for him and Sandra Oh, when they were on screen it was magic, I cannot say this about the other so called actors on this show! where did Ellen Pompeo come from, before Grey's I never seen her before??? I really believe it is racist the way that this fine actor was treated!! just watching him he moved you on that show, this just shows that these TV shows don't care about true talent or else that would have fired patrick or TR.

[masinindy]

They should have fired one of the white actors because the black actor physically and verbally assaulted them???

If that is the black mindset, no wonder you assholes are dying in the streets, murdered by your own.

You are a true dumbass...

[passionlovemsg]

Buddy you are a dumbass. What in the world are you talking about!!! You are such a loser1!

[masinindy]

Look at the news and papers, dildo....

[funvideofun]

Very embarrassing, I don't care what a great actor he is or how good looking he is. Bad, bad, bad.... shame on him for using the "F" word. Shame!

[passionlovemsg]

As well, white people have many great role models in the media to look up to. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING BUDDY? OPEN YOUR EYES. Just say Mr. Washington shouldn't be awarded for his behaviour. Don't make it a racial issue. By you doing that you look worse than him!

[passionlovemsg]

Wow, for all white people in hollywood who committ suicide and such and are not still honoured and respected by the white population you must have forgotten or chose not to discuss.

[passionlovemsg]

The NAACP is awarding Mr. Washington on his acting performance in his t.v. show not his inexcusable behaviour behind the scene. And to make the argument that WHITES AVOID THIS!! Is hilarious. For all the white people who manage the media or are involved with the media. I'm sorry I forgot that paris hilton is not honoured nor linday lohan or even Mel Gibson for their stupid behaviour.

[passionlovemsg]

Do you go through out your day making decisions based on your race? or does your skin talk to you subconciously and you behave a certain way? You're totlly stupid if you think so.

[passionlovemsg]

Obviously,SinistraEbb or whatever you are clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer. If you or any other person in the world who loves to put their race at the top of the chain need to open you mind up and realize that your skin colour has not bearing on the actions that an individuals committ.

[NblankGGER]

they are all stupid ass niggers. fuckthem and their aids.

[ncmoonshine]

somehow everything bad that happens to black people is whitey's fault.

[elmando5]

Screw T.R. Knight and ABC, Isaiah Washington kicks ass and I love DR.BURKE. He's the only reason why I watch the show. BRING HIM BACK!

[masinindy]

Stop watching the show. Dr. Burke will not be back.

Has anyone noticed that he is starting to yell "discrimination"?

He assaulted Patrick Dempsey and verbally attacked T.R. Knight, and Washington is the victim????? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOL

[cheskav]

thanks for posting. i love isaiah. that was a well-deserved win.

[georgiads]

Its called an image award for a reason, they dont give it to the most talented actor, but to the most high profile actor.

Since IW is on a hack show loved by 30 something women and gets a lot of press he gets the award.

There are black actors that would never be considered for NAACP awards because they are not acting in mainstream roles, or those that 'appeal' to black people. Chris Judge from Stargate has not been nominated. Why? I guess the NAACP assumes black people dont like SciFi.

[bruscar5]

Saying the f-word isn't as bad as the N-word is worse than Isaiah using it in the first place. So you're saying discrimination against gays isn't as bad as discrimination against african americans? It's okay to do it to gay indivisuals, basically. You make me sick. It really makes me mad that people throw the f-word around like it means nothing. It's people that think the way you do that make this world a disgusting place.

[jameeloneal]

no offense but please dont eqaute the F-word with the N-word. It's not the issue and it is not even partially comparable.

I dont agree with what he said, but the NAACP awards are for actors in their profession. If thats the case then Krammer shouldnt be on TV anymore, and all.

We should just respect each other diffrences, and stop judging.

NAACP does more for Black people than you will ever know, so dont judge them on giving away one award, to someone who really deserves it.

[bruscar5]

Saying that the F-word isn't as offensive as the N-word is basically prejudicial against gay indivisuals-saying that when they're discriminated against it isn't as bad, or it isn't as important? That kind of behavior and thinking is probably the same kind of thinking that led him to make these remarks in the first place, and it's simply unacceptable.

[masinindy]

The NAACP does more for blacks while kicking over whites and stomping in their skulls.

To reward this "man" for being a violent bully (he has a history of viciously attacking his co-workers) is why blacks will never overcome all of their inner hatred. They have very few TRUE role models...

[BlackJesus2153000]

I respect any blk man who doesnt humbled weakly to a white man for money or fame as Isiah did. I Think you and others want to love uncle toms and weak spinless blks like Al Roker, Tiger Woods etc. Well hell Know We love Jim Brown Jay-Z Malik Zulu Shabaaz Etc

[masinindy]

I would not expect you to like Condi, Tiger, Al Roker, etc., because they "act" too white = common sense and class.

Keep your thugs. You are the one in an early grave, not me.....

[BlackJesus2153000]

Its amazing how the slave gene is still around and how whites honor it. Its the old way of thinking: example, slave runs away and whites ask whats wrong with the slaves thinking, as if the slave was acting illogical in behavior. lol. I see through the images and its apparent that if blks resist with oppositional responses to white social and polictical...etc scams were bad people

[ncmoonshine]

yes , any black person that doesnt act like a fucking nigger is uncle tom. you are truly a representative of your culture.

[violet0221]

The man first says he used the f word, then denies it, then admits it again. If one of his castmates called him the n word, then that person would have been fired immediately. The whole thing is f***ed up. I lost all respect for the NAACP..

[Nadinchen1975]

Yes we do as well in Germany.

[BurkesGirl]

They gave him a standing ovation and cheered loudly. Very appropriate and very deserving. He is an outstanding actor and he has been treated unbelievably bad in the press. Way to go, Isaiah. We love you!

[idrinkdrpepper]

They gave him a standing ovation? Totally inappropriate.

[doglin82]

hang in there Dr Burke...It is really bad that in America, you can't say the word "faggot" without going to Rehab...it is ridiculous...

You are a very talented actor..you just need to hire a PR rep that is all..

[masinindy]

Yes, hang in Dr. Burke, oh, I mean Isaiah (wisdom prevailed and he is now unemployed). :)

Isaiah is a vicious thug. I truly wish that blacks would stop rewarding each other for violent acts and discrimination...

[BlackJesus2153000]

And I wish the white man would take back all the medals that they give to soldiers who murder in their stupid unjustified wars. I wish the white man stop destroying the Earth with nuclear and atomic weapons

[masinindy]

Hey, if blacks were smarter, they would kill on a bigger scale too! LOL

[BlackJesus2153000]

My point the white make is a Serial mass murder and justifies it

[masinindy]

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I would rather walk a white neighborhood at night then a black or hispanic one.....

[ncmoonshine]

if violence and crime is all you have , you must embrace it.

[McSru]

After all that conterversies! Way to go isaiah!!

[paintnoillusions]

iloveburke. Okay, Isaiah deserves it. really.

[DCmetroraleigh]

Great to see. He illustrates the power of forgiveness and redemption. Therefore, I have become a huge fan of his now

[ktc311]

Congrats to him. I really like him and his wife.

[prestinaluvr]

I was so happy to see him win. Literally cheering in my home.

[Lauriette31]

Congratulations to Isaiah....and hang in there.
