Scott’s philosophy is centered on providing pop culture commentary that is honest, witty, and fun but never spiteful or hateful.

Isaiah Washington: Time Out!
June 28, 2007

Somebody needs to sit his ass down! As previously reported, Isiah Washington was fired from Grey’s Anatomy and said that ABC should have fired T.R. Knight (the brunt of his homophobic slurs) instead. Now he’s gone and said this to Newsweek:
There is no rehab for homophobia – that was just some crap being put out by the network. I went into an executive counseling program which many people in this industry know about and go to. They knew what the program was but chose to call it what they wanted to fit their agenda. And more importantly, I volunteered for it because I wanted to understand my fight with Patrick and how it got out of hand like that. I thought [ABC, who he claims didn't pay for the treatment] sending me meant they actually wanted me to succeed and come out on the other end.
The actor also says that his race was his downfall. During his fight with Dempsey, he says:
Someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got really scared and that was the beginning of the end for me. I apologized and showed my remorse for what I said and for the pain I caused anyone. If a black man can’t get forgiveness in this country, when so many other people like Robert Downey Jr. and the governor of California get second and third chances … I think that says a lot about race and this country where we stand. It didn’t help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. … I had a person in human resources tell me after this thing played out that ’some people’ were afraid of me around the studio. I asked her why, because I’m a 6′1″ black man with dark skin and who doesn’t go around saying ‘Yessah, massa sir’ and ‘No sir, massa’ to everyone?’
Whoa, whoa, whoa! First off, Robery Downey Jr. went to rehab for drugs–not for being an asshole. And secondly, nobody called you out because you were African-American and just because you are doesn’t mean that you can’t be prejudiced against other people. Comparing this situation to slavery is the lowest road you can take, Isiah. Shame, shame.
