If they believe it for the rest of their lives? yes.

There's a reason it was said in the first place. The only reason he wants to "fix" it now is because his job is on the line. Whether or not he really cares is anyone's guess.

Everyone prejudges others, it is how the brain works. We fill in the unknowns with generalizations, many of which are blatant stereotypes.

The difference is how we allow our ignorance to control our actions. Washington opened his mouth and revealed his ignorance. But he went a step further he used his prejudice as a weapon to hurt another person. He should be fired.

I am always suspect of any person who says they aren't prejudiced or racist. Everyone is and those in denial are the ones most likely to make their ignorance a weapon. It is up to each individual to recognize when their brains are filling in the missing pieces with generalizations and filter it out before it is acted upon.

Washington Seeks Counseling at Treatment Center
Disgraced Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington was checked into a residential treatment facility in a bid to keep his job on the medical drama, according to news reports in America. The actor hit the headlines last year with anti-gay remarks he made towards cast mate TR Knight on the set of the show. He repeated the remarks in a bid to clear his name at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month. After publicly apologizing for using the derogatory word "f****t" in public last week, Washington met with enraged gay community leaders on Monday. Accepting he needs help, Washington checked into the unnamed facility for a "psychological assessment" this morning, according to a report in American publication Life & Style. His decision to seek help for his comments came after Washington met with TV bosses at ABC, the network that airs Grey's Anatomy in the US. A source tells the publication, "ABC has told him he must enter a program to examine why he would say such hateful words."

The creators of the show should make Washington's character come out of the closet so he has to french kiss guys every week.

It's not like he hasn't played a Gay character before.

I was just remembering that he played a Gay character in Spike Lee's "Get on the Bus". Him and his lover were going to the Million Man March.

I knew this reply would be made. OF COURSE he is doing it to save his job. EVERYONE does public service works because of some benefit that they will get.


Benefits can be as simple as, doing good things for people makes someone feel better.

We all do things for reasons..whether for monetary gain or the gain of being a good person.

If by doing this Washington because of his star power, actually brings a spotlight on this issue, and might even stop people from using hurtful words, then I am all for it.

If this doesn't show you how delusional entitlement groups are and how they wield too much power, what else does?

Also, is gatoinfeliz saying that we can hold him (gatoinfeliz) accountable for every bad thing he's ever done and that nothing he says or does will change that nor should change people's opinions of him?
