[on Isaiah Washington being fired ] What if the person that he called a faggot…was acting like a faggot? You don’t have to be gay to act like a faggot. You don’t even have to be a man to act like a faggot. Anybody can act like a faggot. Let me give you an example: I love Gwen Stefani. I think No Doubt is one of the best groups in the world; I keep a No Doubt CD in my car and I sing that shit to the end. I’m like “don’t speak, I know just what you’re sayin’, oh, please stop explainin’”…I won’t even get out my car ’til the shit’s over. I’m like “you know you’re good, you know you’re real good…la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, [high pitched] Don’t! Don’t!” I fuckin’ love me some Gwen Stefani! Now, if I’m drivin’ my car, and I’m at the light, and you in the car behind me, and the light’s red, and I’m just sittin’ there blasting some Gwen Stefani and I’m like “ain’t no hollaback girl ! Ain’t no hollaback girl! Ain’t no hollaback!” And you in the car behind me and the light’s red–cool. But then the light turns green. And I don’t see it, because I’m in Gwen Stefani heaven. And I’m just goin’ “Ain’t no hollaback girl! Ain’t no hollaback girl! Ain’t no hollaback!” Now the light starts fuckin’ blinking! It’s gettin’ ready to turn red again, and I *still* don’t see it, and I’m in my car going “This shit is bananas! B-na-na-na-nas! This shit is bananas! B-na-na-na-nas!” Now if you in the car behind me, and that light’s gettin’ ready to turn red, and I’m going “this shit is bananas! B-na-na-na-nas!” If you in the car behind me, you have the right to go “HEY, FAGGOT! The light’s about to change!” Shit, even Elton John would call me a faggot at that moment. It’s not the word, it’s the context in which the word is bein’ said! - View Quote Details on [on Isaiah Washington being fired ] What if the person…
