When Knight was on Ellen was not the first time that it was said that Washington refered to him as a "F." And yes Elizabeth being a homophobe is a bad thing. Renay he specifically said that he meant that gay people were weak. Like previously stated, If Knight would have used the N-word in any context then Washington would have reacted similarly. There can not be a double standard when it comes to discrimination. Seperate but equal did not work with African Americans and shouldn't apply to homosexuals either. Yes, I am gay. Gay and proud. And No one chooses to be gay. Its not an easy life, why would anyone want it?

It is amazing that in this day in age that whenever someone wants to drive home a point involving an African American, they always refer to the "race card" or the "N" word. I am appauled that someone can say that it is the same as using a derogitory term for someones lifestyle. The"N" represents one thing and has a history behind it that is a deep rooted hate that hundreds of thousands of men and women have died for by being of of or defending an entire race. The most frequest and casual use on the word does not mask the pain it still brings to many people. It has not been that long since the civil rights movement so lets not act like it is buried deep in the past. If you are unable to understand something or choose not to put the effort to learn, people refer to you as stupid. If you are aware of what you are saying and choosing to use your words to hurt an individual, isn't that called hate? The fact that the "F" word was used to describe someone as being weak is hateful.

The fact that the "F" word was used to describe someone as being weak is hateful. I can't recall the "N" word as used to describe someone as being weak. It has one intention. Was he right for saying it.....heck no! We all have to be aware of what we are saying regardless of color, religon, ect.. Careers aer ruined and images shattered by the use of hatful words. This is no exception but please, can we refrain from usning the "N" word as a crutch to lean on when dring home a point when an African American uses hateful words. Let's concentrate on the individual, not a race.

I think that if IW ever wants to have a job in Hollywood again, he should probably keep his mouth shut. Regardless of what actually happened on set, it's over, it's done with, and the fact that he keeps harping on it shows that his anger management course did nothing to help him. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore?" Yeah, that sounds like someone who successfully completed anger management. Furthermore, in no way does the word "!@#!@" mean weak. You can look up as many definitions as you'd like, it's never going to be defined that way. IW showed extremely poor taste and poor judgment in using it. Apparently he stills continues to use such bad judgment.
