Passing The Blame

So Isaiah Washington just can't seem to make up his mind about whether or not he used the homophobic slur faggot. At the Golden Globes, he said he didn't say it. Now he's saying he did say it. One thing he does seem to know, though, is that none of it is his fault in any way, shape or form.

His losing his job had nothing to do with him being unable to censor himself (and for something that would probably land most people in a heap of trouble in the corporate world) or control himself (physically lashing out at co-worker Patrick Dempsey). His being fired had everything to do with the colour of his skin (seriously?). And his lashing out was all Dempsey's fault for being continuously late. I don't know about you, but I always resort to violence whenever my co-workers are late. It's the only way they are going to learn. And the whole thing with T.R. Knight was evidently all conjured up by Knight in order to gain more fame and money. Strange, I remember reading about the incident the day of or after the incident, and it said that Knight went to break up the fight and Washingtong pushed him and called him faggot. That was before Knight came forward about the whole thing. And even if Knight is trying to advance his career, isn't that what Washington is doing going around still talking about this whole thing?

In my current line of business, I deal with many people that are simply incapable of admitting that they are wrong, let alone the possibility. Mr. Washington needs to step up and take responsibility for his own actions and, most importantly, get over himself.
