You know, people who are allowed to speak will undoubtedly say stupid things from time to time; I say stupid shit daily if I am allowed to. The more that people listen though is the more one should really either shut the hell up or be ready to stand behind what you say.
Now, Isaiah is in a bit of a pickle. Either he really did not call sweet "George" a faggot (apparently the homosexual equivalent of a black person being called a nigger) and the cast is after his hide for no good reason. Or, and it is very likely as the black community is not at all embracing of homosexuals as it challenges the manly-man image of Mandingo, he really did say it, realized that it should not have been uttered amongst his cast-mates much less in public and is now trying to spin doctor the whole thing to make it go away.
It's not going away Isaiah. Either get the cast together into a powwow and settle the issue once and for all, or, salvage some intestinal fortitude and fess up. Either way, it is hurting the show, your credibility and your working future in Hollywood. This is simply not going away, my "brother". Fix it! Now!
Peace.
NOTE: With reference to Mandingo, rumour has it that my father stopped going to the movies with my mother because of this movie. Unconfirmed reports had her standing up in the movie theatre and yelling at the scream during a particular heated exchange in which Mandingo was coming out on top finally (see the movie for further details). That kind of behaviour plays well in Compton but not so much in Toronto in the 70's. :)
