WHY I NO LONGER "LIKE" Tracy Morgan - A MUST READ

Kevin Rogers
So tonight was the night, Tracy Morgan in the hallowed halls of the Ryman Auditorium. I always giggle a little bit when I think that the legends of country music must be rolling over in their graves knowing that there are raunchy comics on their stage. I've been a big fan of his since his days at SNL. The show was your typical hysterical dick, cum and pussy humor... I have to say it was hilarious and well worth at least 40% of the $86 we spent per ticket to see him. I figured at some point the gay jokes would fly and I'm well prepared for a good ribbing of straight gay humor. I have very thick skin when it comes to humor; I can dish and I can take. What I can't take is when Mr. Morgan took it upon himself to mention about how he feels all this gay shit was crazy and that women are a gift from God and that "Born this Way" is bullshit, gay is a choice, and the reason he knows this is exactly because "God don't make no mistakes" (referring to God not making someone gay cause that would be a mistake). He said that there is no way a woman could love and have sexual desire for another woman, that's just a woman pretending because she hates a fucking man. He took time to visit the bullshit of this bullying stuff and informed us that the gays needed to quit being pussies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying. He mentioned that gay was something kids learn from the media and programming, and that bullied kids should just bust some ass and beat those other little fuckers that bully them, not whine about it. He said that if his son was gay he better come home and talk to him like a man and not [he mimicked a gay, high pitched voice] or he would pull out a knife and stab that little N (one word I refuse to use) to death. He mentioned that Barack Obama needed to man up and quit being all down with this just because he has a wife and two daughters. All of this being followed by thunderous cheer and "You go Tracys". Tracy then said he didn't fucking care if he pissed off some gays, because if they can take a fucking dick up their ass... they can take a fucking joke.
The sad thing is that none of this rant was a joke. His entire demeanor changed during that portion of the night. He was truly filled with some hate towards us. As far as I could see 10 to 15 people walked out. I had to fight myself to stay seated, but I knew if I got up... he won. He wanted to piss people off and get a rise. I didn't let him win by chasing me off, he surely didn't get any applause or laughter from me after that point - mainly because he was no longer funny to me. I wasn't holding back, it just wasn't funny. I won't even get started on his rant about how women should be home cooking him a fucking meal and not becoming CEOs or him talking about fucking the moms of retards.
Once again, I can take a joke. I find all sorts of things that are inappropriate funny. Life is too serious to not laugh and enjoy some humor. I now no longer enjoy Tracy Morgan's humor. It's sad that I now have to take some inventory of my love of "30 Rock".
I'm not angry... just very very very disappointed.
BY THE WAY... FEEL FREE TO SHARE with all of your friends!

it's jargon lol

Paul Albertson
and round 1, i didn't even have a fucking stance, i was doing what the bible does and simply offering my own understanding

Paul Albertson
i wasn't saying it was just or unjust, i was saying that it is, and here's why

Kumar Chilukuri
haha. Belanger...Sir...you make the baby jesus cry.

Cody Edwards
Say what you want, Hun. I got faith in my God :)
But at the same time I got my faith in my boyfriend as well :D
ALSO! Fun-fact! It's proven that gay people have longer and thicker dicks than straight people! XD

Granted, it would be better if it was written by the long-snappers.

Paul Albertson
and people argued the same points i made AGAINST me

Paul Albertson
have faith in whatever you please cody :)

It's that Woonsocket spirit! Go get em Tiger!

Paul Albertson
don't let anyone tell you how to live your life though, dead or alive

Paul Albertson
you know woonsocket?

Paul Albertson
lol

Paul Albertson
that's the only thing i have against religion, not with god, RELIGION, don't let anyone tell you how to live your life

R Mike Rothbaum
Of course. Everyone knows Tracy Morgan made it with the entire Woonsocket High football team. Right before they wrote the Bible.

Paul Albertson
lol

Cody Edwards
You know what Brandon. I don't exactly agree with what you say. But I do respect you. :)
I'm confused now... >.<
I'm confused now... >.<

Paul Albertson
but, WHAT DID I SAY? lol i haven't expressed a real opinion!

Paul Albertson
i say whatever makes a person happy they should pursue it, as long as they're not doing it to spite someone or because someone else told them it was the right way to be.

Paul Albertson
i love certain men and sometimes i think oh how life would be if i could just cuddle with this man and play some call of duty with them always, but i want a family and children so that's not an option for me

R Mike Rothbaum
That's so funny . . . I heard "Happy Day Motha Fucka" is the name of Tracy's new movie!

Cody Edwards
@Anthony...Dang it don't ruin this. Some of these arguements are funny!

Tom Brown
But the whole point of diversity in the creation is that there's always a variety of types, no need to worry about a world of only gays! I'm glad you agree with me that "clinging to religion" is a problem, assuming you mean fundamentalists who cling to the feeling of certainty and moral superiority they get from their fundamentalist preachers!

Cody Edwards
I SO want Kirby epic yarn! I saw it at the 2010 E3 and I thought it was SO cute!

I hope so. Because the Dark Knight was FRIGGEN AMAZING! So this one had better not fail

Oh my gosh! I LOVE that movie! I haven't gotten to see it in forever...
Yup yup. We've somehow managed to make this all about batman hahahah
Yup yup. We've somehow managed to make this all about batman hahahah

Akin Salawu
There's an unspoken truth here - he was never all that funny. Comedy requires a kernel of truth & if there's a kernel of truth to TM's "joke", that's really dangerous.

R Mike Rothbaum
I heard Tracy sent a naked pic to Anthony Weiner on his Twitter.

Only the self-accused condemn.

“The reality is we really need foster and adoptive parents, and it doesn’t matter what the relationship is,” said Moira Weir, director of the job and family services department in Hamilton County, Ohio. “If they can provide a safe and loving home for a child, isn’t that what we want?” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/14/us/14adoption.html?hp

Gustavo Torrisi
"If you can take a dick in your ass, you can take a fucking joke" is a really funny joke. The rest of it seems pretty standard, and I even think the "Lesbians just have a problem with dicks/man" joke is even cliche- hope he did a stabbing motion and gritted his teeth a little. It makes sense some people are offended, but I.

Gustavo Torrisi
M disappointed he apologized :-/

Marcos Lara
Halle Barry was the perfect woman but the movie was a terrible train wreck. It had nothing to do with Selina Kyle. I remember when I first read Batman: Year One, I said that CW should be played by Halle, but now I see that only works if she is actually playing CW and not some metahuman in ripped up leather.
It's kind of irnonic that we're condemning TM for his words and hyping up Batman which stars Christian Bale, a guy who got arrested for hitting his own mother. Honestly, I will continue to be a fan of both but I am disappointed by both actors' bad choices.
And the "If you can take a dick in your ass, you can take a fucking joke" bit is older than viagra jokes.

I'm still pretty offended by the Catwoman movie. Fuck it, I'll just watch my Green Hornet DVD.

John M Kelly
Not that I ever found TM funny on 30 Rock. I'm not sure watching the other players can make up for the disgust I'll feel when he shows up.

Marcos Lara
No one ever answered my question as to if they condemn TM, do they condemn Sarah Silverman and Mencia as well for their jokes about people of color and Muslims?

Tom Brown
Yes, if they joke about violence against people of color or Muslims the way Tracy did they need to be condemned. I don't watch either of them much at all, so I am not too familiar with their material.

Don Kempner Warner Saklad
Where around the web is there a transcript?...

Lydia Hutchings
I like him.

Joseph Adams
ha ha, its comedy. Everyone shut the f up. Remember the first ammendment? comics make fun of everyone, so the gay people need to get over it

Alexander Devereux
This is HATE pure and simple. Tracey Morgan has NEVER been funny a day in his life. All he does in EVERY so called comedy routine is degrade and put other people down with a malicious intent. Now, you are now surprised that he attacking gays?? REALLY? He claims he is not a hateful person but if you fix your lips to let hate flow from your mouth then what is it? Let’s use a quote from this God who he seems to love so much. Matthew 15:11 - Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. If it looks like a bigot, attacks like a bigot, talks like bigot, acts like a bigot and responds a bigot then it must be a BIGOT!!!

Dee J. Scott
Actually he said God makes mistakes. I believe that's what happens when you use double negatives

James Sanchez
Also, this guy just proved that what TRacy was saying was TRUE in some instances :)

Cody Edwards
Oh dear it started again...

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
@Joseph Adams: Fuck you. But I'm only making fun. So maybe you could get over it?

Dee J. Scott
@joseph adams true comedy is what it is but it is also about delivery and as per Kevin "his demeanor changed". he was no longer being comedic he was sermonizing. I like his routine but he should have put the brakes on when he felt himself emitting his emotions about it, telling us how he REALLY feels. I just wish he owned his remarks and not apologized I would have had more respect for him and how he felt about it...#b!+<h@$$

Mary Simpson
I've never heard of a gay teen hanging them selves after watching any comic. But it happens everyday when they come out to there christian parents...praise the lord right?

Traline D Spencer
I couldn't help myself. I had to write a blog about all this: http://blueopt.blogspot.com/2011/06/tracy-morgans-gay-bashing-rant.html

Traline D Spencer
@Joseph The first amendment also gives me the right to voice my opinion when I see or hear something I do not like or agree with. It's ironic that you're telling people to "shut the f**k up" while citing the first amendment, which is free speech. That just doesn't make sense man. You're contradicting yourself.

Mary Simpson
Taline, a lot of Americans think they have the right to have an intelligent argument without doing the work for the whole "intelligent" part first...

Mary Simpson
I'm sorry, Traline...

Traline D Spencer
@Mary you are sooooo right about that one.

Ingrid Marisol
Nobody cares when whites make fun of blacks, so why can't a heterosexual make fun of a homosexual? Mentally handicapped people are mostly born that way, yet comedians make fun of "retards". If you really want to improve the lives of any minority group, I think volunteering to help them or advocating for their legal rights is more effective then getting upset about a comedian show.

Ingrid Marisol
Mind of mencia is always making the retard voice!

Tom Brown
I don't watch Mencia, but if he does what you say he does we should make noise about that too! As to no one responding to racist comics, don't you remember the big uproar over Michael Richard's racist rant a few years ago? His career suffered because of it, even though he, like Tracy, apologized. BTW: I'm a gay guy who cares tremendously about racism and social justice, as do most gay people I know.

James Forwood
I don't agree with Tracy Morgan's personal feelings, whatever they may be, as they pertain to gays and gay life (or really anything for that matter, I suppose). That said, you sir have ambushed a paid actor who spews garbage from his mouth for a living with real life tribulations, all due to what? An insecurity? A need to strike back? You paid to see that man! You asked to hear what he had to say, and you can't bring it to the world's attention when he crosses lines within those four walls. They're his walls, and you put yourself there. Those individuals who left: good for them. Nobody needs to hear those sorts of things if they don't want to. But those comments were meant for someone's enjoyment, if maybe only his, and were delivered as a product of your $86 payment. If the same man said the same things in public, it would be personal, and it would be wrong, but he didn't. He gave you the show you paid for, and now you've given him grief that I say is unjust. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk20WWY15uc

Gustavo Torrisi
If anger has no place in comedy, then I doubt we would have all celebrated the late George Carlin when he finally bit it. He "advocated violence" against all people, IN HIS ROUTINES. Including gays and children. He's a wonderful segment where he leaves a message for a little girl detailing his plans to murder her parents, fashion their skin into accessories, and then take out his "huge ding-dong" and rape her. And it's funny. Man, can you imagine what Carlin would have said if all this nonsense had started after one of his shows?

Gustavo Torrisi
Carlin on raping little Stacy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBbuLgJqtQ4

Tom Brown
Yeah, Patrick, that Carlin clip is pretty offensive if you take it literally. Yet I don't think anyone who laughed in the audience thought Carlin really meant the caller should go to the 5 year old's house and do bodily harm. As many people have commented, Tracy Morgan isn't funny. He doesn't have the comic gift of a George Carlin who can say outrageous things with irony and sarcasm. Maybe Tracy meant what he said as sarcasm. Maybe he even meant his rant to be an ironic jab directed against homophobes and haters of retarded people. Yet according to Kevin's reporting, that's not what he conveyed that night in Nashville.

Jules McGregor
I'm so glad that someone did something about this. So disappointed that so many people were cheering him on... that's so awful.

Marisol, Mencia is another totally reactionary racist just like Tracy Morgan! I'm not surprised he would think it was funny to tell "re****" jokes.

Vanessa Wills
These people take self-hatred to new lows.

Pedro Camejo
Its sad to hear there were those in the audience cheering him on as he talked about stabbing his n* son to death if he turned out to be gay and I would've walked out. Marisol, you really can't compare blacks making fun of whites and heteros making fun of homos to this ignorant hate rant. Wake the fuck up! I love me some Lisa Lampinelli and that fat bitch tortures blacks and gays AND retards but does it for shock value. That's it. She's not out using her stage as a pulpit to spread hatred and ignorance that may very well lead to bullying of gay teens or worse. Those bullies didn't learn to be hateful fucks at school—they learned it at home. For example: Comedian Lisa vowed to donate $1,000 to GMHC for HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care services for every anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church protestor that showed up at her Topeka, Kansas show. 44 protestors arrived to spew their ridiculous hate, allowing Lisa to donate a generous $44,000 to the charity. TM would never do this because he genuinely hates gay people & will apologize and pander to them after basically admitting he could give a fuck. He's a talentless, stereotype-preserving hack.

Pedro Camejo
Barry your ignorance is refreshing; but you're half right. Coming out IS a choice. Wanting to be honest about who one is and chooses to love IS a choice. Your comment is as ridiculous as saying that Down Syndrome is a Lifestyle Choice. It's NOT a choice. It's who you are. Homosexuality exists in every facet of nature; yet leave it to Man to believe that it's some sick twisted choice that's made to be different. I'm sure you must have tons of gay friends and have done your homework on this delicate subject. On the flip side Hate IS a choice. Most people that are anti-gay were taught to hate or have their own sexual issues to work out so they lash out at others to make themselves feel better about themselves. Regardless it's ignorant to think that one would "choose" to be gay. unless you had a crush on boys in school and consciously chose to be straight? ...Good Luck with that.

Eric Butcher
anthony, you are right, here is a difference between a rant and a joke... guess which category calling someone "u dumb bitch" falls into. Classy move, guy.

'man the hell up and shut your miytg'. Hmm, I wonder what would have happened to the Suffragettes, the black civil rights movements, the anti-communist protests in the USSR, the civil righta protests in Russia, Egypt and Libya if everyone thought like that? What rubbish. All I hear is a lot of fear from these homophobes. They don't understand it an they don't want to step outside of their comfort zones to try to. Don't tell me to man up when you can't face up to something that poses no threat to you.

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
Mouth*

Elizabeth Georgescu
reeeelllaxxxxxx im sure you demean people of other races, classes, etc on daily basis to your friends, co-workers or whoever. Tracy's mistake was he did it in front of an audience. get off your high horse. we all have opinions, although i deeply disagree with tracy on this, but for the most of us, we know when to share them and that's where he messed up.

Elizabeth Georgescu
stephen i like what you said: dont tell me to man up when you can't face up to something that poses no threat to you.

Mickey Blumental
Joseph Adams, you're a moron. To quote you: " Everyone shut the f up. Remember the first ammendment? " Notice any problem with that statement?

Mickey Blumental
Elizabeth, shocking news for you: not all of us have bigoted views we only share in private. Get this: some of us don't have any group based on race, religion or sexual orientation. I know, shocking. You might want to sit down and get a glass of cold water.

Barry Clevenger
Pedro is going play I was born this way card.I sure hope being gay isn't inherited but in his case maybe it is.your defense is even more ignorant than my statement.It isn't me trying to defend being straight it's you and others defending being gay.You aren't stuck being gay by some act of nature choose not to be.

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
Here Barry, do us a favour and fuck right off, pal.

Mickey Blumental
Barry, you make a good case for the argument that most homophobes are ignorant little dingleberries..

Haha, what's funny is that you pretend to be an adult, but I'm pretty sure you're a kid with his dad's laptop. These insults are hilarious! Keep em coming, Barry! :D

Barry Clevenger
Stephen it just proves that only you guys want the right to say what is acceptable and what isn't.It's either agree with us or F#$@ off.God will have the last say!I don't judge you I judge the act.

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
I'm not really concerned what you judge, if you read the Bible you might get a better understanding towards God's acceptance and love of everyone. Also, on the notion of judgement:
Matt. 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."
Matt. 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."

Barry Clevenger
I do read and it say you willbe judged according to your judgement.However right judgement is acceptable God Hates sin of any kind but loves the sinner.Jesus died for gay people too but never condoned the actions

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
He doesn't condone hatred either, I imagine.
'I would have stabbed you too as a child.'
Wow. I see God's love is simply pouring out of you, Barry. I believe you quote on your own page that 'God isn't the only one capable of forgiveness.'
Jesus wasn't a huge fan of hypocrites either. You might want to look that up, Barry. It's in a wee book we call The Bible.

Anthony, I don't think engaging in name calling or this kind of violent aggression is helping anyone here. Also, Barry, if you are a Christian, and I was also brought up in a Christian household, you shouldn't rise to it. If Anthony wants to go down that route then let him.

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
I'm going to agree to disagree with both of you here. Barry, I don't agree with your viewpoints but all I can do is try and educate you as to where I stand and hope you make an informed decision. I'll also fight for your right to have your own opinion and beliefs no matter what.
Anthony, this kind of dialogue is what got Tracy Morgan in trouble in the first place. I feel sorry for Mr. Kevin Rogers who's notifications bar on his Facebook page must be close to supernova.

Kevin Rogers
I have purposefully stayed away, for the most part, from the comments on this note... I have scanned through them and I appreciate the love and support that has been shown and I even appreciate this different views being expressed. I would like for you to know that I'm not overly sensitive, I can take a joke and I don't make fun of really anyone but myself in my daily life. That night what Tracy said was I'm sure meant to be a joke, it just didn't come across that way. I'm not trying to crucify him in anyway. I was not offended, merely sadden by what he said. Kids kill themselves daily for being treated like outcasts, and it doesn't matter if they are gay or straight. I was bullied as a kid because I was considered fat and worthless. According to lots of messages I've received in the past few days... those are not the only things I have going against me. I as a teenager I wanted to die on many occasion due to words. Words have power and that's my point in all of this. I just wanted to be loved for who I am, about 1% of that is me being gay. Right now I don't have health insurance because when I lost my job and decided to try and make a living on my own... no more insurance other than COBRA. I can't afford that right now. If I were married and straight I would have immediately become eligible BY LAW to have health insurance with my spouse. I have a friend right now who lost her job because they found out she was gay, her employer didn't even hide that fact. You can't be fired for for your race, your age, your sex, your national origin... but she can and millions others can be simply because they are gay. There 1138 legal rights afforded to everyone else in the US that are denied to me. I'm not looking for special treatment... I standing up for equal treatment! I am soooooo ready to move past all of this issue with Tracy and lend my voice to more important issues that what Tracy said that night. I do wish that everyone in their comments would try to be more understanding of where everyone is coming and stop spewing hatred in both directions, that was not my intent and I don't condone it. I am happy that this has opened a discussion and at least has opened some eyes.

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
I'm glad we've descended into a childish dick swining contest. May the best idiot win.

It's getting a bit ridiculous, Anthony. You're not helping us with this crap.

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
does it matter how long you've been on this page for?

Kevin Rogers
I agree Anthony, but this back and forth does nothing. I've also seen your posts buddy!

Barry Clevenger
Take Stephens advice and let it be the last day you post as it isn't helping lol

Kevin Rogers
well Barry maybe you should take your own advice

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
Kevin please don't getr involved, just let them thrash it out. It's not worth it buddy

Kevin Rogers
Anthony! drop it brother? Just adding fuel to his fire buddy!

Stephen Donnan-Dalzell
Is there any need Barry? I though we were moving past this.

Barry, I've tried to be diplomatic, but that was uncalled for and just reported.

Kevin, Just a note of thanks for sharing your personal story on this list. I, too, was put down for being overweight when I was young, but now not so much because I have a much worse condition: old age. Surprisingly, gay folk, including gay comics like Tosh, love to ridicule folk for being old. Yet it's important to distinguish all of that put-down humor from Tracy's rant against gays and the mothers of retards. As you so carefully reported, Tracy changed his tone when he got to the part about knifing and raping certain people. He didn't give the audience any reason to believe he didn't hate those folk outright. You've done a good service and helped to raise our collective consciousness. Now maybe we can all move on.

Leaveme Dafukkalone
Barry - GB2 Westboro. Anthony - Gawd doesn't hate anybody because (to quote Chauncey from Wondershowzen) "The chump ain't real."

http://www.14legs.net/2011/06/stab-gay-out-of-your-son.html Just wrote a blog post about this, if anyone gives a crap. :-)

Mickey Blumental
Joshua, people have a right to say what they want on their Facebook page. Coming here to spout your crap makes you an attention whore and a troll.

Tom Brown
Without Kevin's activism on this issue, we wouldn't have gotten this statement from Tracy, which is a good outcome: “I know how bad bullying can hurt. I was bullied when I was a kid. I’m sorry for what I said. I didn’t mean it. I never want to use my comedy to hurt anyone. My family knew what it was like to feel different. My brother was disabled and I lost my father to AIDS in 1987. My dad wasn’t gay but I also learned about homophobia then because of how people treated people who were sick with that. Parents should support and love their kids no matter what. Gay people deserve the same right to be happy in this country as everyone else. Our laws should support that. I hope that my fans gay, straight, whatever forgive and I hope my family forgives me for this.”

Tom Brown
He's sorry because deep down inside he knows it's not funny to joke about knifing your son (who is gay) or raping the mother of a retarded child. This is not about free speech. Tracy makes his jokes and others are free to comment, even you with your name calling.

Tom Brown
Such hatred!

Tom Brown
yourself

Tom Brown
You're not well informed about the Constitution. It only protects citizens from restrictions of their free speech by government. People who work for a living (like Tracy Morgan) can be fired for what they say. It happens all the time. Anyway, I'm outa here for now.

Mickey Blumental
Erm, look at your spammy messages, let me especially quote your most eloquent message: "faaaaaaaags". Not only you're a troll, you're not a very bright one. Your obsession with Kevin's note and the gay issue is indicative of some deep rooted issues you probably want to deal with. Feel free to google any of the words I used you are too dumb to understand.

There are a lot of idiots out there who are not just insensitive but ridiculously ignorant. I've never like Tracy Morgan he never made me laugh and I guess never will.

Ugh. Walk Tracy Morgan naked in the street? Who exactly are we trying to punish here. Barf.

Tricia Stansberry
Well said. I fully agree.

Duane Tully
@Joshus NTRG Chong - WOW! You have some serious issues, man.

Kevin Rogers
@ Alexis, he does now.

Chrissy Yaros
that chong dude is seriously annoying!!!!

Cheryl Farwell-Duckworth
I think what Tracy Morgan said was horrible. However, his lame apologies are almost as bad. If what he said is how he feels, fine. I will simply cross him off my list of "comedians I watch". If he were a friend, he would be crossed off my friend list. I feel like the only reason he is apologizing is to keep his career intact. In my opinion, his lame apology showed me that not only is he a homophobe and a bigot...but he is a dishonest person as well. I wonder how he would feel is someone made horrible and super offensive jokes regarding black people? Bad Tracy...Bad, Bad Tracy.

Gary Byers
If you read Tracy's apology, you'll see he completely fails to take responsibility for what he said/did.

Chrissy Yaros
Sooo many celebrities do that fake apology thing... I doubt any of them are sorry for anything they do. All they seem to care about is upholding their image.

Gary Byers
I agree. What amazes me is that this kind of response actually makes them look all the more clueless. I don't get it, except that the PR people helping them must be just as clueless!

Forest Travesty
all of tracy morgans supposed rant is paraphrased by mr.kevin. not one solid quote. maybe a video or something would help. just sounds like dude (mr.kevin) got butt hurt.

Kevin Rogers
Joe Kerr is reported. I will not tolerate that!

Elizabeth R Hattington
I think the ignorance that came from Joe Kerr just goes to show what a lack of humanity is in that man. He fails to see that this type of ugly rude post is not only not necessary but is just serving to let the world know what a horrible person he is choosing to be. As for mr. tracy morgan. I am very dissapointed in his comments and his apology. it is just very sad and I agree that he really doesnt seem sorry. It doesnt matter what side of line you sit on. hate is hate and it is not ok. ever. ever ever! @Kevin Rogers. I dont know you but I support you and I love you. You are a precious being on this planet and I am very glad God created you just the way you are!

Elizabeth R Hattington
@Joshua Ntrg Chong. You are ignorant and if you have a problem with Kevins page than get off of it and mind your own lame business. you are being really childish and seriously....your fighting a losing battle with your rude comments and your serious lack of wit and people skills. ugh!

David Todd III
Thank you for your thoughts Joshua. It's nice to hear strong intelligent feedback. You seem extremely well read and have given me much to ponder.

Kevin Rogers
For the record, Tracy never used the word Faggot. Joshua, nice need for attention you have.

Duane Tully
@Joe Kerr - You're are an ignorant bigot who deserves a good case of instant karma.

Elizabeth R Hattington
Joshua....the only thing ur fighting is intelligence and ur losing ...ur ignorance is obvious and ur attitude is pathetic.

Claire Newton
You know what they say about those men who are the most vocal in their homophobia....likely deep-rooted homoerotic tendencies or insecurity with their own masculinity? Methinks the Chong doth protest too much. Too much vitriol in the Kerr's words...self-loathing maybe?

Cody Edwards
Boom!
In order to stop this shizz I'm going to list the facts about this
1. Tracy was clearly in the wrong, but he did apologize.
2. That Jashua Ntrg Chong dude is an idiot and everyone who agrees with him is an idiot.
3. Studies show that gay people have slightly longer and slightly thick penises than straight people
So if you got a problem with gay people. Suck. Our. Dicks!
Because they're probably bigger than the little twizzler you have if your pants.

You can always slap somebody in the face and then say, "Oh, I'm sorry." The slap still stings.
People like Tracey Morgan and Kobe Bryant are assholes--their apologies are their publicists idea to avoid bad publicity. Nothing sincere about them at all.

Hey dude !
I've just read tour comments on Kevin's page ! Well , it will look like not very mature , but I don't see the point in sharing what i'm going to tell you now with all the facebook community ...
I think you're a nehandertalian who can only think through his Bible. You such a bigott ! Honestly , do you really believe we are evil ? Hey , in the levitik it is said that we can sell our daughters , own slaves and so many examples that are not current any more nowadays ! The Bible had been writtent centuries ago , society has improved , and humanity should do the same ! Do i need remind you that in Antic Greece , homosexuality was the "norm" and the only purpuse ofheterosexuality was to perpetuate human kind ?
You can't deny history , and whatever you'll say will change anything that already happened ...
I can't believe that a "scientist " as you seem to be (as far as what you put on your fb informationas are true) can thnik such thing since you should be for progress and not for a step back ...
I thought the Bible praised love for all ? that it was a religion of love , brotherhood and so positive things ? how could it logically can spread such hateful terms against people as huma as you are and as they were ...
You quote on your page " Everyman I meet is in some way my superior" don't forget that we are human too. Moreover you said that forcing someone aplogizes for what he said is a crime , don't you think that if one of your friend or someone close to you tells you that you're a jerk , a jackass or whatever quite hurtful he should apologize because it has huirt you , or don't you care so less about your people taht you don't care what they think about you ?
I think I said enough right now , and if you want to apply you right of response I'll be glad to tell you in more details what I think of people of your kind .
You know , gaypride exist because of people like you , if your hatred kind didn't exist we should not have to show up like that. Society is what it is , and gay has always existed , and will forever , you can do whatever you want , it'll still be there , you can't fight this fact of matter , do try to live with it without loosing you strength and saliva in that , try in somethnig constructive !

This is why I honestly don't want to know what performers personal beliefs are. I know, I know, it is better to know. But now I'm like, all I see is a bigoted ignorant fanatic instead of a bright energetic comedian. DAMN IT!

Pascal Huynh
@ Paul & vraiment sans polémique, peu importe la lecture que l'on fait de la bible voici ma conviction : toutes les religions supposent un arrière monde, une "vie après la mort", des pensées magiques ainsi qu'une scission morale entre le bien et le mal. Pour les religieux et les croyants on est du "bon ou du mauvais côté", c'est à dire de leur côté ou pas. Pour ma part je travaille à me construire dans l'immanence, ici et maintenant, "par delà le bien et le mal" avec au cœur la certitude de n'avoir que cette vie pour apporter à celles et ceux qui m'entourent un peu de ma joie de vivre. C'est prétentieux et pourtant je vis avec.

Dawn Rakes
I support gay marriage, have many gay friends, and a daughter who is bisexual. That being said, this whole fiasco made me ashamed of being a Nashvillian. It was a comedy show for goodness sake! Comedy is about laughing at life, and homosexuality, alternative lifestyles, whatever you want to label it, is a part of our lives now. I don't understand how anyone could go to a comedy show and expect to agree 100% with the performer or throw a temper tantrum about it. I think this was taken way out of context and made Nashville and our gay community look like whiney cry babies. I have discussed this with many of my gay friends and they were ashamed of it happening as well, so not all gay people were offended. I think Kevin should have done the ADULT thing and contacted Tracy himself to get out his grievances towards his routine instead of taking it to this extreme. I also think Tracy should have a lawsuit against Kevin for creating this 3 ring circus and slandering his name. I mean, fair is fair. Or would it be right if I took it upon myself to get people all over facebook to rise up against Kevin because we do not agree with his opinion on this matter and felt offended that he wanted to take this opportunity to bring this all out as a fight with the media? No, it would not be right. Kevin has his opinion, he was offended, and that is his right. Tracy is a comedian, has his opinion, stated it, and was forced to apologize for it. I do not see this as any victory for the gay community, I see it as something shameful and many other people do. I found this through News Cahnnel 5's post about the apology. It was asking what people think about it and for the most part, people think it is crap that he was asked to apologize in the first place. So, while there are many on this post praising Kevin for what he did....the remainder of Nashvillians are ashamed of it. Word to the wise....if you are that easily offended and tend to make a mountain out of a mole hill....don't go to Comedy shows, you can not handle it...stick with Disney on Ice or something and stop making Nashville look bad!

Tom Brown
Dawn, Do you really think joking about a father stabbing his gay son to death, or a male raping the mother of a retarded child constitutes just an ordinary "comedy" routine in Nashville? Even Chris Rock, who initially defended Tracy, thought he went too far after reading the whole story. You know, the white comics used to joke about lynching black folk, too. Is lynching humor still OK in Nashvillell? Or do you think there's a moral difference between such acts of hate filled violence? As it turns out, Tracy has not only apologized, he's also stated he would take a stand against the recently enacted "don't say gay" law in Tennessee. Kevin has done good in my book.

John Bennett
Too bad, no more 30 Rock for me.

Kevin Rogers
Last time I'm posting anything here... Tracy was never asked to apologize by me or anyone else. Tracy was not forced into an apology, he made a phone call all by himself to ask GLAAD what he could do to make this right. His son was with him back stage that night and heard what his dad said. Tracy admitted to us that his own son told him that he shouldn't have said what he did. Dawn, If you, your friends, the gay community, etc. are offended and ashamed by me, then that's your issue, not mine.

Dawn Rakes
I think, as many others do, that comedy is comedy. Did Chris Rock mention his hate filled rants towards "crackers"? No. But you know what, I am white and do not care. I do not get offended because it is COMEDY. If this were a documentary about how he felt about his gay son and he said that, I would take it much more seriously. Entertainment as a whole is an imaginary world. People who nitpick everything to find something to bitch about should do just as I said earlier, stick with Disney on Ice so that their feelings do not get hurt. And as far as what I feel is a comedy routine, I don't find that Nashville is any more special than any other place in the world and I think that as I stated more than once, comedy is comedy. BE AN ADULT if you have a problem with it and contact the comedian and go from there. I have seen many other comedians say much worse than what Tracy said and no one is whining about them. My honest opinion about all of this is that Kevin needed some attention. That is all. That is why he asked others to share what he had wrote instead of being a man and handling it on his own. You ask about lynching humor in Nashville, actually, I have heard it at many comedy shows and thank goodness no one was idiot enough to take it as anything more than JOKES. And before you ask, I have heard lynching humor from white and black comedians alike. It was a part of our history, culture, and life and if you can't laugh at life, you are going to live a pathetic one. I am against any anti gay laws, that is SERIOUS business but using things like this to make the gay community look stronger or better becomes a joke in itself. As I said, I have many gay friends who are all saying that they are ashamed of this media circus as well. It gives the gay community one more obstacle to get over now. Yeah, way to go Kevin. (Note that sarcasm there.) Instead of doing something as stupid as this, why can't Kevin take his time to do something much more POSITIVE for the gay community?

Dawn Rakes
Now Kevin, my question to you is since it is OUR issue, should we then write some nasty slandering "note" about you on Facebook and ask others to pass it along so that it becomes a media circus and you are asked to apologize for your "getting offended"? Sounds stupid huh? Why yes it does. Sounds like something that children do in elementary school. I am just saying, you should have been an adult in the first place. You used social media to make a big deal about your feelings being hurt at a comedy show. In turn, it got sucked up by the media and one man's opinion got pinned on Nashville and the gay community. Not everyone agrees with you. MANY don't. But I guess Tracy should actually thank you because it is known that things like this actually make the entertainer even more popular in many cases. You got his name out there mainstream. You got him free publicity. Plus you have caused many to go buy tickets to his show just to see what all the stupid fuss is about. I hope he makes a major joke about you. I would LOVE to see that! It wouldn't be too hard!

John Bennett
No surprise. There must be some basis in his playing a fat, ignorant, opinionated, prone to violence, redneck character.

Tom Brown
Comedy requires a sense of irony and a knowing audience laughing at itself or the human predicament in general. In this case Tracy didn't rise to that level, hence the outrage. Tracy's rant was not "comedy". Perhaps a better comedian could have pulled it off by providing a different context for what was said, but Tracy didn't. It appears Tracy himself now recognizes that.

Chris Blagburn
Who cares what he said or how he said it.It was his platform to use.No law against bad taste.

Chris Blagburn
He had to appologize for something he said that some oe else didn't agree with. To me that is taking away his first ammendment. "You sir, I do not agree wit what you have to say. But I,ll defend to the death your right to say it."

Carl Jackson
I think GLAAD are doing this for press. The truth is, GLAAD could care less about Gay people. I read somewhere that GLAAD made Tracy talk to some homeless GAY teens. All I could think was WOW how could GLAAD be proud that they made Tracy talk to HOMELESS gay TEENS? If GLAAD cared so much about it's own...then their concern should be about all the gay homeless TEENs around the world that need a family and a home, and not Tracy's right to freedom of speech. I think GLAAD are hypocrites. GLAAD needs to sit down and shut up. I am so sick of people's concern over freedom of speech and lack of concern for things that are far more important...like education, homelessness, the divorce rate, etc. People should be able to use there right to freedom of speech, without someone telling them...NO don't say that word NIGGA, or NO don't say that about GAY, or NO don't say that about abortion. People need to stop being so sensitive and just learn to love and accept each others differences. I'm a black man, whose proud to be black, does that make me racist? No, so white people should be proud to be white. But let a white person say I am pride to be white, man they would be called racist, and every other degrading name. People need to just stop being so sensitive...it's not that deep. At the end of the day what 911 taught us,was that we are all the same, and we feel pain, all the same. And we love all the same. That's all that matters...in the end. Don't sweat the small stuff.

John Bennett
Dawn, I wouldn't even call you a Dumb C---- as a joke, but you obviously
don't get it.
No one's feeling are hurt. Some people are just appalled and disappointed
at Tracy Morgan's remarks, and the fact that so many of you think it's
funny. I'm disappointed in the dumbing down of America, but my feeling
aren't hurt. This didn't rise to the level of comedy, but some idiots will laugh at anything a comic says. Just watch the comedy channel sometime.
Anyway no one's feelings are hurt and no one's first amendment rights are on
the line. You act like he's been arrested. It's like your claiming Kevin's violating Tracy Morgan's free speech and my claiming you're violating
Kevin's-- ignorance of what the constitutional guarantee means.
I'm going to exercise my 1st amendment rights and petition NBC to cut him
loose from 30 Rock so he'll have more free time to hit the road and exercise
his rights and I urge other people to do the same.
don't get it.

LOL John, stooping to vulgar words to get your point across? Where is the ADULT in that? Seriously. But if I buy a ticket to a comedy show and then go and women get called Dumb C---s as you put it, as part of a joke in the routine then I am one if I take it personal and go on a social networking site and whine about it to get attention. I am sorry but that is MY OPINION about it. Now, also, I think you may want to get your posts straight before you go ranting to someone because I have yet to bring up the first amendment or any amendment! LOL ~shaking head~ Good luck on that petition.

Dawn Rakes
Also, Carl Jackson, LOVED your comment! You seem like a really cool person! Well thought out and well put!

Carl Jackson
Thank you Dawn Rakes:)

Will Slack
@Dawn, the problem with your words is that you are doing exactly what Kevin did: attacking someone for what they say publicly, and thereby attacking yourself. By your own logic, you must also be "needing some attention" and unable to "handle it on your own." You asked Kevin why he isn't doing something positive: well, what are you doing?
In a free speech society (and I'm talking about society, not gov't), every person can say what they wish, but they better damn well be prepared to get criticized by the free speech of others for what they say. I always find it confusing that people who go to such things to claim something isn't "offensive" get so easily offended for their own part when others disagree about the original remarks.
Maybe Kevin's note was a tactical mistake, though I severely doubt that. If it hadn't been posted, then Tracy's words would have continued to echo, and I for one am glad that he reversed himself.

Rahmiel Lalo Silas
i believe that being a comedian u have a duty to break the rules and push the boundaries of what is funny, one of the most controversial shows in the world is south park and they treat every race, religion, and SEXUALITY the same and it is our job as an audience to understand that these aren't there personal feelings but a simple joke, so if your just not comfortable with your standing in your sexuality, religion, or what have you then dont take it out on the comedian because that is a completely unbiased position that tracy holds. the only reason i am disappointed is because he allowed himself to be pressured into apologizing for a JOKE.

Glen Skastanko Sachenato
Any body, any words and anything can be made to be humorous as long as it is in the right context!!!! If it is presented in a hateful manner, it will be percieved as hateful. Thats a given!!! Do any of you dumb cunts agree with me? LMAO!!!! :)

John Bennett
Tracy's pathetic and the televised apology was nauseating. He definitely needs to work on his material, but it bothers me that anybody would joke about stabbing his son to death for coming out. Do you guys find that funny...even with the falsetto voice? I live in the South am always hearing some redneck make stupid racial anti-Obama jokes that usually aren't funny just anti Black., which doesn't mean Black jokes aren't funny, some of the best stand up humor around is about Blacks, but the hateful shit isn't funny, and that's the territory Tracy's moved into. And who in his right mind would pay $86 to listen to this. I want the 30 Rock sponsors to ask him to move on, having him on the show sort of ruins it for me.

Jazzy Bloom
he made a mistake, honestly I don't think he thinks like that. He just really wanted some laughs. No one ever said anythin wen he pulled out the michael jackson rapist jokes

Karmen Moore Bonar
How can any person contribute a comment on Morgan's being "funny or not" if he or she wasn't there to hear the words in the context of the entire comedy routine and didn't hear the delivery? Comedy is all about the delivery, timing, and the context in which the words are framed. I'd just like to hear the whole thing, so I could judge for myself if it was a change from his demeanor. Lots of comedians get raunchy and love being anti-P.C. I don't know about the rest of what he said, but I wonder how he treated the other topics he spoke about in his routine.

Doc Lane
Wow. If some research had gone into the decision to see Tracy Morgans standup, I'm sure you wouldn't have gone in the first place. You say you have some thick skin, I don't believe that at all.

Doc Lane
And may i point out that, according to Mr. Rogers statement, he wasn't going to stab his son for being gay. It was for the over the top homosexual voice and not talking like a man. Your rant is just because you only felt the words that hurt you and weren't taken in the context of a comedy show. You say that you have been a fan of his since his SNL days. But like i said in my previous post, you should have known that he was going to have some kind of rant like this. You obviously expected some SNL or 30 Rock material and that was far from what you got. If you really have been a fan of his all this time, you got exactly what he has delivered many other times.

Tom Brown
Nickolas, The Bible says that if you're going to buy a slave, they should come from a nation around you (Africa?) and if you sell your daughter to be a slave, she shall no go out as the male slaves do. Dude, I hope you are following everything it says in the Bible. End of story.

Nickolas Cain
aye Tom .. God also made Adam & Eve .. NOT Adam & Steve .. End of Story

Tom Brown
Nickolas, So you're ok with slavery then? Do you agree with the Bible think it's an "abomination" to eat shell fish? Pulling quotes from the bible to justify hatred towards any group does not constitute "loving thy neighbor as thyself." Preachers in the south quoted the bible to justify slavery at the start of the civil war. You are quoting the bible to support Tracy's joking about killing his gay son and raping the mothers of retarded children. In my world view, it doesn't matter whether the object of hatred is a black, woman, gay, disabled person, or the mother of disabled person. Any Christian should immediately recognize this. This is not about gay rights, it is about not supporting overt hatred which jokes about doing violence towards any group. I am equally offended at Tracy's statement about raping the mothers of retarded children as I am about the knifing of gay sons. It's beyond me that a Christian cannot see the need to reject Tracy's rant. End of story.

Nickolas Cain
Thats the thing i dont hate anyone .. I know whats right and whats wrong & 2 men & 2 women sleeping each other is not right by any means, you cant justify how being homosexual is right. 2 men cant make a baby jus like 2 women cant. I jus wonder if he was a gay comedian would it be ok to talk about gay people?? would this be a concern? i doubt it

Tom Brown
Boy, you are fixated on the gay thing! Of course Tracy's rant about doing violence against gay people and the mothers of retards would be equally wrong if he were gay (or retarded). If you know what's right and wrong, you should know that Tracy's rant about killing gay sons or raping the mothers of retarded children was wrong. It's interesting that you respond to me solely in the context of your attitude towards gay people. Do you feel the same way about retarded people? Do you think it was wrong for Tracy to joke about raping the mothers of retarded people, but ok to joke about knifing his gay son? I am going to guess that deep down inside you reject both of these statements equally. Or am I giving you more credit than you deserve?

Glo Perry-Jones
Nickolas..Have you ever read the bible? I dont think so...Do you know it is an abomination in Gods eyes to eat shell fish, mix fabric, and sleep with someone of the same sex? Abomination in bible times means Unclean. Also if your not a virgin on ur wedding day, your family is required to put you to DEATH! Blah blah blah blah..I could go on and on....Jesus taught LOVE, AND GOD IS THE ONLY JUDGE, AND WE ARE NOT TO JUDGE...AND YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG GOD DOES.

Tom Brown
Kimberly, Tracy used the word "retarded" and so that's what I used. I would not use that word myself, nor would it ever enter my mind that the mothers of (mentally challenged) people or gay sons are deserving of rape or murder.

Tom Brown
Kimberly: "Almost no early Christian writers appealed to Leviticus as authority against homosexual acts. Those few that did, exercised extreme selectivity in selecting which Levitical laws to say are legitimate for Christians and which are not, whatever suited their personal prejudice. It was clearly not their respect for the law which created their hostility to homosexuality but their hostility to homosexuality which led them to retain a few passages from a law code largely discarded. Most of Leviticus is simply not appropriate for Christians. We no longer make animal sacrifices to God as commanded in Leviticus. Most of us eat shrimp and lobster which is forbidden. Many people eat that unclean animal the pig. How many are guilty of rounding off the hair on their temples and marring the edges of their beard (Lev 27)? Jesus set aside all of these obsessive-compulsive purity laws and gave the commandment of love." This quote is from

Tom Brown
Study of Leviticus 18-20, an internet posting that can be googled. It's a fun read!

Kevin Rogers
I'm not a Christian, so none of these things matter to me.

Kevin Rogers
Didn't say I don't "pray" or believe in something greater than I that is part of me, just said I'm not a Christian.

Tom Brown
Kimberly, gay sex is no more a sin than eating shell fish according to Leviticus...a book in the old testament about cleanliness rituals for the ancient Jewish community. Gloria Perry-Jones accurately reports this point in her post above. You can't cherry pick quotes from the bible and then say the bible supports your notion that gay sex is a sin, unless you are willing to apply the "sin" word to other "unclean" activities in Leviticus. Even though fundamentalist preachers do exactly that, they are miss-representing the bible. Please google and read the "Study of Leviticus 18-20" article in its entirety and then we can talk. Thanks.

Tom Brown
Kimberly, forgot to mention there's a more accurate reading of the Sodom and Gomorrah story than what those fundamentalist preachers claim. It's about the sin of not being hospitable to strangers who seek a place to stay when in a new city (something that was very important before they invented motels). Back in those days, if you couldn't find someone to take you in, you might not survive the night.

Vulgarity and mean-spiritedness is NOT funny. It's actually very sad and pathetic.

@Nick Cain - Two elderly straight folks with faulty plumbing can't make a baby either, and OMG those atheists! Atheists parents will produce ATHEISTS CHILDREN! So let's stop -them- from being allowed to marry too.... :P

And btw, Nick... Your GAWWWWDUH is a slavery supporting invisible sky honky. Exodus Chapter 21, verses 20-21: "And if a man smite his manservant, or maidservant, with a rod, and he (or she) die under his hand; he shall be punished. Notwithstanding, if he (or she) continue a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he (or she) is his money." || Exodus Chapter 21, verse 32: "If an ox gore a manservant or maidservant; he [the owner of the ox] shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver and the ox shall be stoned." || Luke Chapter 12, verse 47-48: "And that servant, which knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes." ||1st Peter, Chapter 2 verse 18: "Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the fro-ward [unjust, cross, contrary, unreasonable].

Funny how dead slaves are worth 20 shekels less than a RAPED DAUGHTER || Deuteronomy Chapter 22, verses 28-29: If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be fou......nd; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

If a raped girl doesn't scream, it's cuz she LIKES IT! || Deuteronomy Chapter 22, verses 23-24: If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

I'm not racist AT ALL!! But it's funny how blacks once were treated as though they were nothing.... hmmmmmmmm should they just have stopped whining about being beaten and murdered? Mr. Morgan is the type that is angry at the world, not just gays... I'm not at all offended as a gay man, but I'm disgusted that people could actually say the things he said and mean them.. oh and wasn't it african americans who fought for equal rights?? This all from the black man that's roots were ALL considered non-equal!! Tracy honey, open the closet door a little more, it's okay to come out!!!!!!!!! Now, SASHE AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Randy Reese
Nickolas, first of all you seriously have anger issues, I'd recommend Lexapro and a lot of it!!! How people view the bible and their beliefs are their own personal choice.. However, we are supposed to bring people to Christianity the way jesus would!! Hmmmmmm I don't think he would agree with your approach!! Go watch Roots!!! Maybe you'll understand how the gay community feels!!! Enough said!!

Randy Reese
Oh, and may I add......... All the stones that were used to murder your ancestors are the same ones that "those without sin" need to throw!! You should have a huge pile of them my friend.. we all do!!
