Tracy Morgan

So there was an episode in 30 Rock where Tracy Morgans character, Tracy Jordan, made some gay jokes in one of his standup acts, which resulted in an attack from the militant gay groups. This is also something that has happened in real life with one of Tracy Morgans stand up comedy shows. In real life many stars put down Morgan because of this and the media make a huge deal about the whole situation making Morgan look like some kind of monster. I always was very drawn into stand up comedy because it always seemed like comedians could get up on stage and say whatever they wanted. I heard stand up comedians make fun of 9/11, killing and raping children and women, and every religion you can think of. And are those comedians having to come out after every show with an apology? I have to say i was upset over the whole thing.




I am not trying to come across as a gay-basher in any way at all so don't misunderstand me, but it pisses me off when Morgan says two or three jokes about homosexuals and is crucified over it when other comedians say sooo much worse and its fine. I don't feel like it is more dangerous for gay people living in today's world than any other group of people. Christians and Jews are probably the most persecuted groups of people and almost every comedian i've heard poked fun at both groups with no major consequences. A close friend of mine goes to see stand up comedians all the time, and he sits right in the front row knowing full well that he is going to be dumped on and he rolls with the punches. you can't get offended by stand up comedians, and if you are maybe that form of comedy is not for you, but C'mon people lets not ruin the sacred art of stand up comedy for the rest of us!!
