Isaiah Washington Comes for Barack Obama, High Fives Trump Along the Way

Once upon a Greyโ€™s Anatomy, there was a distinguished actor by the name of Isaiah Washington who got himself fired for calling one of his co-stars a โ€œfaggotโ€โ€”a faux pas he foolishly attempted to rectify with โ€œI love gay. I wanted to be gay. Please let me be gayโ€ in its aftermath. Suggested Reading Flint’s…

Apparently Isaiah missed the memo that effective January 20, 2017, The Black Delegation is no longer accepting invitations to the White House. And before you bring up Kanye, we tried to tell that nigga but he doesnโ€™t listen.

However, The First Step Act did draw rave reviews when it was passed last year, as both Democrats and Republicans were well aware that mandatory minimums have generated inordinate sentences in drug-related cases.

But you canโ€™t shit on Obama for not doing enough for me and you, your momma and your cousin too then champion Donald fucking Trump of all people as The Great Negro Equalizer just because he invited you over to the crib for some Big Macs and chicken nuggets. Especially when Trump dialed back Obama-era initiatives and policies that specifically benefited us. That ainโ€™t how this shit works, bruh.

But please, carry on, Isaiah.

But for sharing your โ€œtruth,โ€ at least you got the stamp of approval from the MAGA mafia.
