I think I understand where you're coming from (I can't completely understand because I am a white female...) but I just wanted to point out that there were actual events that took place that made him a threat. It's not just the perception of a threat or the potential to be a threat...he actually created situations that were harmful.

But my thing is
if he did verbally attack one co-worker and later physically attack another...he really should have been gone after the physical attack. Who do you know that can go to work and attack someone and still have a job
? I don't know the circumstances of the altercation but something doesn't sit well with me if ANYONE can go to work and assault someone and still have a job but if they call someone "gay" they are gone. It really doesn't make sense to me.
I'm not excusing any of his actions because regardless of what your "opinion" is about life or people or whether you are a "racist," "moron," or whatever the bottomline is there is a level of professionalism that must be maintained at the workplace and between co-workers...its simply called being professional and acting like you got some darn sense...whether you are black or white...it doesn't matter. And, as always, there is more than one way to do and say anything but its up to the person to use the best judgement as to which way would be more efficient and appropriate.
I also don't believe anyone will think the show's creator is a racist because she is black and one of the black stars of the show was fired. Wrong is wrong and right is right but for some reason I don't think the decision was hers to make anyway.
