Saving Isiah

I am really tired of seeing all of the strife of the use of the word faggot by "Grey's Anatomy" cast member Isiah Washington during a private dispute with a fellow cast member about another cast member. Due to heat he has taken from producers and others Washington has entered counceling. Number one, how did the press and everyone else get wind of what was said during a private dispute. The person Washington was talking to must have had a vendetta against him for all of this to reach the press. Number two, who can say that they have never made a derogotory comment about someone rather it be related to race, sexuality, or otherwise. How many whites can say they have never used the words nigger or coon. How many blacks can say they never used the words cracker, honky, peckerwood, or redneck. Dealing with sexuality, how many people can say they never used the words fag, dike, lesbo, queer, shittydick, or any other derrogatory term. Because Washington is in the spotlight everyone wants to have an opinion knowing they have said something they shouldn't have said in their lifetimes but now everyone wants to act self-rightious. Also, take the fact that some people have embraced some derrogatory terms such as nigga, redneck, queer, and others. Leave Washington alone. All he is guilty of is being famous.
