Isaiah Washington stirs controversy over KKK remarks
Isaiah Washington was fired from 'Grey's Anatomy'
Grey's Anatomy alum Isaiah Washington landed in hot waters when he gushed over a white supremacist group, Ku Klux Klan.
“I had some of the best elementary school teachers and even some neighbors that I knew were Klan Members back in Texas while growing up,” Washington continued. “I knew where They stood with me and They also knew where I stood with Them. The boundaries were very, very clear and I still played with Their kids, I just couldn’t drink from Their outside water hose or come inside Their house to eat and Their houses were usually much smaller than what I grew up in.”
The P-Valley alum said, “My mother never refused to let Their kids into her house to eat a summer lunch and drink from our vintage JFK water glasses. I can’t help but wonder today, if Their kids are vigorously supporting me as an actor today, simply because I showed Them love and respect as a true Texan and a true American, even when Their parents and grandparents forbid Them to reciprocate love and respect for me publicly to me back then, but I’m infamous now. I wonder…
The internet slammed the 59-year-old alum for praising the white supremacist group.
"There is something genuinely wrong with Isaiah Washington," one quipped
"Isiah Washington would have willingly made himself a slave back then. Jeeeeezus," another added.
