Tracy Morgan offends, then apologizes

[William769]

In a recent stand-up performance, comedian Tracy Morgan, who stars in NBC’s hit show “30 Rock,” went on an anti-gay rant in front of his audience in Nashville, Tennessee.

Among those in attendance was a gay fan, Kevin Rogers, who subsequently posted on Facebook about a series of homobphobic comments made by Morgan as part of his act. According to Rogers, Morgan act included comments such as “gays needed to quit being pussies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying.” Morgan apparently added that “he didn’t f*cking care if he pissed off some gays, because if they can take a f**king d**k up their a**… they can take a f**king joke.”

Rogers also described how Morgan expressed that he would stab his own son to death if he were gay and spoke to him in an effeminate manner.

Following news reports today of Morgans slurs, and calls for an apology from LGBT-rights organizations such as GLAAD and HRC, Morgan released a formal apology, expressing:

What a fucking SANTORUM!

P.S. this is not the first time this idiot has done this.

1. Sometimes an apology is not enough.

He should lose his career for this, as he would if he said something similarly racist or anti-semitic--over and over and over.

I want to see him so poor he's picking through the trash looking for food.

5. What he said is beyond forgiveness. He said he'd murder his own son.

The whole rant - violence directed at women, children, gay people - is unforgivable. What kind of person would say such things.

7. So your punishment for free speech you don't like is stealing someone's wealth?

Oy.

[QC]

9. No, my favored punishment here is the end of his career and his shunning

by all decent people.

It's a subtle distinction, perhaps, but an important one.

10. Then how does he get so poor he starves?

The guy has money, I'm sure.

[QC]

11. Good for him. Why are you so eager to defend the rotten son of a bitch?

Do you think he should go on with his career just like before, as though he had never said these things?

[William769]

12. +1.

Thats what it sounds like to me.

[Dreamer Tatum]

13. He apologized. Not sure what else he can do.

That's how it goes when you have free speech.

Sorry.

14. Gladys Knight said it best....

2. Too little, too late.

He's a total douche bag. And should have his parental rights terminated.

4. imagine if someone had the nerve to tell tracy morgan to stop acting so black.

i bet he sure wouldn't like that too much. somehow it's ok to bash gays. how many gay teens commit suicide? not funny. not funny at all. and if this is not the first time, then he should have known better. and if “he didn’t f*cking care if he pissed off some gays, because if they can take a f**king d**k up their a**… they can take a f**king joke.” then whey did he issue a formal apology? which isn't really an apology is it? go out and actually stand in front of someone and look them in the eyes and apologize. i liked the idea i had heard that he could talk to the parents of kids who had actually killed themselves. his comments about how he would kill a child who was gay were disgusting. he might have thought they were funny, but that says more about him than anything he does or says now.
