Grey's Anatomy NOT so grey anymore
I'd heard long ago about the "hate" word Isaiah Washington spewed about his costar T.R. Knight and his denial at the Golden Globes. I'd heard about how back in January the Disney Channel had said it was "Unacceptable". Yet I believed they were treating his comments as a "grey" area (not black or white--meaning they would do NOTHING about it) and had done nothing about it for months. So, I was delighted when I heard Disney had fired Washington last week.
Hurray for Hollywood (and Mickey too!).
While I liked the character Washington played (and I've watched Grey's Anatomy since it began), I certainly didn't like what I heard about him. And NOW Washington is saying he was fired because of racism.
The Associated Press reported Washington said:
"My mistake was believing that I would get the support from my network and all of my cast mates across the board. My mistake was believing I could correct a wrong with honesty and sincerity, " he said in the interview posted online Thursday.
"My mistake was thinking black people get second chances. I was wrong on all fronts, " he said. "Well, it didn't help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn't a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn't speak like I'd just left the plantation and that can be a problem for people sometime, " he said.
Let me tell you Mr. Washington:
Your mistake was believing that because you are part of a minority you can say whatever the hell you want about ANOTHER minority.
Your mistake was LYING to the American public instead of offering an apology upfront.
Your mistake was thinking that once you apologized, it's would make it all better.
Your mistake was believing that since you're a star, your sh*t didn't stink!
Your mistake is TRYING to make people believe your firing was based on racism!

Have cafes gone to the dogs?
August 18, 2007
I just heard that dogs may soon be legal inside café’s in Chicago. But not cigarettes. How does that makes sense? I’d rather have a smoker who I can get away from, sitting across from me. A dog will chew on your shoes while drooling all over short-exposed legs—then hump your leg. And when you try to escape he will follow you and pee on you (marking you as “his” territory). Smokers will politely put out their cigarette (even though they are more addicted to then than crack addicts are to crack)—how polite can they be? A dog is not so polite—it will hump you—then depart without even giving you a goodbye kiss. Plus while humping you he will likely shed, bark and fart without even an apology.
Dogs (pets in general) are NOT children, as much as some people treat them as such. And smoking is an addiction (an addiction that pays for MANY important programs in Chicago—so important, that since they over-increased the cigarette tax and people have either quit smoking or left town to buy their cigarettes, Chicago now must put a tax on bottled water—finally a fair tax!). But dogs don’t get taxed just for being—or for being something their owner is addicted to—even though this is oftentimes the case. Yet dogs are okay at bars/cafes, and cigarettes are not. How does that make ANY sense?
And before you ASSUME I’m a smoker—I quit almost a year ago (and have some issues with the smell)…but I still feel smokers are the ONLY minority who it’s okay to be blatantly and openly bigoted about!!
