NAACP Honors Isaiah Washington
We must have fallen through a warp into the Bizarro dimension or something. We’re stunned that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People handed Grey’s Anatomy actor and TR Knight faggot caller Isaiah Washington the Best Actor in a Television Drama at their Image Awards over the weekend. Perhaps they’re not that concerned about his scandalous past. Or maybe he’s that good of an actor. Or, more likely, the competition just really, really sucked.
Of course, the organization’s got bigger problems: leader Bruce Gordon stepped down after a measly 19-months in charge. Apparently he didn’t see eye-to-eye with the board.
If you’re interested, sappho-journo Jasmyne Cannick‘s got the video of Washington’s speech. Not coincidentally, he thanks her. Cannick defended him during the whole faggot scandal. We don’t get mentioned. He must have forgotten.
hey is this jasmyne the same chick that had a problem with shirley q. liquor doing drag in black face?

What? Isiah Washington best actor in a drama! Balls!! It should have gone to Michael K. Williams of “The Wire.” Much better actor and Williams has never called a cast-mate a faggot.
Shame on the NAACP [Cannick is a lost cause; a hack , lesbian or not, who will always play the race card first and last]. The Chairman of its Board, Julian Bond, is one of the gay communities strongest allies, and I’m sure he was troubled by this. The issue is not who was the better actor. The problem is that this is called an “Image” award and they just effectively said that a pathologically lying homophobe with violence issues is their best representative.
Gonna have to disagree with you Leland. The problem is the better actor was ignored (like most folk on “The Wire”) AND an actor who called a cast-mate faggot won.
