Chokegate: it's not all black-and-white, except when it is
If, like me, you were concerned that so far the coverage of the Grey's Anatomy choke!gate scandal has been lacking a certain batshit-insane quality, then here, for your delectation, is the discussion of the incident from the black entertainment blog ConcreteLoop.com:
"It’s easy to blame the black person when drama goes down, but now they are making him out to be some sort of crazy mad man? Please! I heard some rumors about Patrick Dempsey being nothing short of a damn drama queen, but you don’t see anyone writing anything about that."
And we're off:
"If he did choke Dempsey, I’m sure there was a good reason. Not to condone his behavior, but you don’t just go around choking muthafuckas for no reason."
"Society loves to castrate our Black Men, and tell them that they can’t express their emotions.
...
Men need to fight. It’s good for men to fight…Men are very physical, and once they get the rage & tension out their system, things can resume as normal…"
"The majority of Blogs appear to be written by Homosexuals or those sympathetic to the Homosexual community, so of course the BLOGS are going to jump on the bandwagon and publish this report every ten minutes."
"Yeah, Isaiah shouldn’t have used the F slur; if he did. And yeah, he shouldn’t have choked that motherfu**ka; if he did. But damn it! I’m gonna support this brother weather he did it or not!"
Regardless of which "side" you're on, anyone can use "you're making my side humanity look stupid" icons for this one.
