Tina Fey On Tracy Morgan's Rant

Alec Baldwin has already responded to Tracy Morgan's fire-breathing sermon against gays with a Tweet shrug and now Tina Fey and the head of NBC issued their own statements since some people were wondering What Would Liz Lemon Do?

The head of NBC said that he was happy Tracy apologized and that they don't agree with hate or violence towards anybody (except Conan O'Brien). Since the NBC peacock is as gay as the NBC peacock, he went on to say that both the network and 30 Rock accept everybody (except Conan O'Brien) so Tracy's comments were against what they believe in.

As for Tina, she put it like this:

“I’m glad to hear that Tracy apologized for his comments. Stand-up comics may have the right to ‘work out’ their material in its ugliest and rawest form in front of an audience, but the violent imagery of Tracy’s rant was disturbing to me at a time when homophobic hate crimes continue to be a life-threatening issue for the GLBT Community. It also doesn’t line up with the Tracy Morgan I know, who is not a hateful man and is generally much too sleepy and self-centered to ever hurt another person.

I hope for his sake that Tracy’s apology will be accepted as sincere by his gay and lesbian coworkers at 30 Rock, without whom Tracy would not have lines to say, clothes to wear, sets to stand on, scene partners to act with, or a printed-out paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket. The other producers and I pride ourselves on 30 Rock being a diverse, safe, and fair workplace.”

Tina Fey should know that one of my shittiest ex-boyfriends slept 12 hours a day and always sat on the side of the table that faced the giant mirror in the dining room at Mimi's Cafe, so sleepy selfish dick bags can be hateful too. But what I'm getting from Tina's statement is that on the next season of 30 Rock, Tracy Jordan will become color blind which will lead him to only wearing rainbow colored clothing. Then Tracy Jordan's son Tracy Jr. will come out to him at around the same time he develops a Tourettes-like tick that forces him to stab his daddy in the knee with a rusty shank repeatedly throughout the day. Either that or she's saying that bitch better get right or he'll be lucky if he gets a job as Mel Gibson's understudy at the Westboro Baptist Dinner Theater.

And I just realized that typing "dining room at Mimi's cafe" was ridiculous. Like that shit was some fine dining.

I totally agree with you, I've always thought that homophobic men were so outspoken about hating gays because they knew deep down inside that they secretly enjoyed it. I'm willing to bet anything that ol' Fred Phelps from Westboro Baptist is a closeted gay man, its kinda obvious don't you think? Glad there's a scientific study out now that finally proves it:)

take that Tracy Morgan!

Centaurious's picture

I disagree.

I think people should be able to say whatever they want to say, and not have to apologize for it.

In that way, we can know who is bigoted and who is not.

I mean, REALLY????

Do these pathetic apologies mean anything, other than "I want to keep my job?"

I said all of those derogatory words to make a point, not to say that I say them on a regular basis.

BUT, I do sometimes make ethnic jokes! I do sometimes see a guy or girl on the street and I'm like "Look at that fag!"

Or, "Nice Home Depot lesbo!"

Or, if I see a cute Indian guy, I'll laugh to my friend "He probably works at 7-11."

Not that I really mean it!

Please, tell me no one does that.

I've dated guys from almost all ethnic groups.

I'm not a bigot, but fuck it, I do say these things occasionally, and since I'm a nobody, nobody care, but if I was somebody, and somebody filmed me making these occasional comments, I would be like, "FUCK YOU ALL! Deal with it."

Now, Tracy's monologue was a bit of a different story. I wouldn't be surprised if he was drunk or high and a closet case. It was really over the top, and I think I, myself, would have walked out.

However, he is a COMEDIAN.

So, he's lost his gay fans. That's his problem.

Maybe he'll lose his 30 Rock job.

That show is going off the air soon, anyway.

Also, giving homophobes a platform by giving them 'bad publicity' is still giving them publicity.

@ Centy

I think that people will always make fun of things they don't understand as a means to mask their fear. Furthermore, If you dig deep enough, even the most political correct people will harbour some prejudices too. All human beings are both individuals and members of a group. The individual part of us dares to speak against discrimination of certain groups, the group part of us - our desire to belong - sometimes makes us say whatever in order to belong. I'm not excusing that behaviour, but merely explaning it. I do know that I find it easier to be tolerant of someone, when the distinction between group behaviour and personality is clearly recognizable. That's why I categorically refuse to belong to any group besides my family, be it a social group or a sports group. In threads like these my language skills are regrettably not up to the task, so I hope that you know what I mean.

P.S.: I hope that you and Fraggle can find common ground, because 'Centy in a constructive dialogue' is always such fun to read.

If you use the 'report abuse' they do remove comments. I've only reported myself and the spammers.

Tracy has a right to be a homophobe. Not everyone likes gay people. Or shall I say, not everyone agrees with the gay lifestyle, although they'll be the first to say that "I have many gay friends!"

(I expect Tracy is in that cohort.)

He'll say whatever he has to say to keep his damn job, but he said what he felt, and he HAD A RIGHT TO DO THAT.

Gay rights have come a long way, and I AM WITH YOU.

Not everyone is, and they never will be.

Deal.
_________________________________________________

Sad, but true. I've lived a long time, taken my share of abuse for living my life (not that it ever came easy), but I have to agree here with Centaurious. There is always someone with a public platform who will disparage gays. It has always been so, and no matter what forward movement we make the fringe will always be there to denegrate. My solution was to choose my battles as carefully as possible. Tracy Morgan is no different than Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Eddie Murphy, the late Sam Kinison or Andrew "Dice" Clay. They take the easy way out and pander to those who feel the same way.They make money by saying in public what their "customers" haven't got a platform for. Don't give them your money or time, don't die on the battlefield of unfunny comics who can't think
past the current sleazy paycheck. If Tracy Morgan believes what he says, then he needs to own it. If he doesn't, he's simply a coward whose beliefs can be smothered by money.

Yes, he has the right to free speech, as I have the right to ignore him and focus on more important issues than a jerk comic who was never funny to begin with.

Hey, back Sweet Cheese! :)

Yeah, I saw that right away too (about the weird boob shadow). I could we could conjure up some 'funny' rather than sad reasons why she would be wearing a prosthetic boob...like:

Her husband got too frisky the night before and gave her a frisky whisker rash on one boob and that was so bad that make-up couldn't cover it

or...

Aliens suckled her one boob (better than an anal probe)...

or...

As a person who is a total mental and emotional case who has plenty of issues, I am certainly tolerant of you because I know you have your good days and your bad days just like me. There are actually a lot of people who have been very forgiving to me for being a bit (*cough* 'bit') of a nut-job here...

I certainly am tolerant of you, Centaur. I still pray for your ass through the good and bad days.

There are a lot of folks here who totally understand you or at least try to and even stand up for you.

Does Fey have breast implants? On the right side you can totally see the outline, or is that some freaky shadow incident? Anyways, I never thought she'd be the type.

It doesn't look like an implant to me. It looks like Tracy's arm was pushing into her boob and making the make-up she used to accentuate her cleavage look weird. Either that...or she's had breast cancer and never told anyone and she's wearing a well-made prosthetic (because her other boob looks totally normal).

To the people saying 'it's just a joke', does anybody mind telling me which part is supposed to be hilarious? Is it the part with the dead kid stabbed by his father or the 'gays deserve to die for being gay' part?

You see, that's the difference between a risqué joke and a fucking hateful tirade.

As for free speech, does Tracy has the right to spew his bullshit? Absolutely. Do we have the right to withdraw support from him and call him on his shit? Surprisingly, yes! Free speech goes both ways, funny how that works.

I liked Tina's statement. She's a class act. As for Alec... I'm not going to force anybody to be enraged about it, what I can't stand is the people who try to JUSTIFY the unjustifiable because Tracy Morgan is a funny black dude and people just can't take funny black dudes seriously, right? And then they wah wah wah about free speech when free speech is not even the fucking POINT.

The point, if you miss it, is that if you're an asshole people won't like you and whining about censorship only betrays how entitled you are.

Tracy Morgan has always been a sexist, misogynistic, homophobic a--hole. Tina Fey's comeback is good, but really, she gave this a$$hole the job & she knew what he was, so my sympathy for her only goes so far. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she had that statement written a long time ago expecting to pull it out when the time came (as she had to know it would).

Too bad I stopped watching 30 Rock after the first season, because I'd like to stop watching it now in protest.

eta: And yes, Tracy Morgan has the "right" to say whatever ignorant dumba$$ thing he wants, blah, blah, blah. But I don't have to support him by watching the show he's on.

Yeesh. I just read all about it cuz I really had just figured it was Tracy being Tracy and left it be and maybe it was...but (i don't even know how to type out the sound it makes me make) it's pretty disheartening.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, I didn't know you hadn't read what he said. Hope I didn't sound too bitchy. I'm gay, and I have a sense of humor (I hope) about my culture. But this was beyond any standard gay joke. He meant every vitriolic word of what he said. And in this uber-pc culture we live in it's yet another slap to the face of gay men and women. Michael Knight said the n word, so whatever was left of his career evaporated. Mel Gibson spewed anti-semitic garbage, and his reputation never quite recovered. But because Morgan went after the last truly widely hated people in this country(and most of the world) he can just walk back onto the set when filming resumes and still go on tour to sold out theaters. Hell, he's probably gotten more fans because of this. So this all goes back to the main point: gay men and women are second class citizens, lesser than Blacks, Jews, Asians, and every other minority. We can be called fags who should accept a man's ignorant insults because "Hey! That's just comedy, don't be so uptight, you fudge-packing-piss-drinking-child-raping-lipstick-wearing-dick-tucking-anus-bleaching-queer!". If in our modern, evolved society that behavior is unacceptable if it applies to others, why should it be for me? That's all I'm saying.

I don't agree with what Tracy said, but I respect his right to say it.

He's a fucking comedian, not an insurance salesman.

Why should he apologize.

Unless he really means it.

If he doesn't really mean it, and he does believe in what he said, he should just be straight up and be like, "Those are my views, like it or leave it."

I mean, it's okay for Tina Fey to make fun of Sarah Palin (ie, all white trash Americans), but any other group is
taboo.

What is Tina Fey's background? Is she fucking rich, Ivy league?

She probably grew up making cheeseburgers and Pepsi's in a goddamn diner and now she's suddenly too good for Middle America.

Bitch.

anyway, OT; tracy morgan clearly has issues. his dad died of AIDS, he was probably processing some bad childhood shit on stage when he was saying all that stuff about killing his gay son (uck, still makes me want to vomit) - maybe his dad tried to kill him?

didn't we just have this conversation two days ago about how terrible our moms were to us?

what if you had NO safe space ever to vent that, or if you were so out of control you just SAID that kind of shit in public?

i'm not excusing Morgan, just thinking "out loud"...i know performers often work out things on stage - as a parent, it was a terrible thing to say....eesh...

i am really glad i'm not Tracy Morgan - that's about all I can say for sure

you kike, nigger, spic, funky ass smelling-like-a-dog cracker bitches.

oh - and you are SO GAY!

I don't look at any links that anyone posts here.

I don't really care.

There are some funny people here, and their words speak for themselves.

They don't need to post LINKS.

I really doubt Tina Fey is here right now, fishdicks.

She has a child, and she's fucking preggers.

Not to mention she has a midget househusband and a major career.

If she is here, maybe she should be in bed?

So, you know, maybe she can get some sleep so she can kiss her kid good morning for five seconds before the nanny kicks in and before she goes out to wrangle the gay basher and child molester at 30 Rock?

Not to mention the Barbie doll she hired after blowing off Rachel Dratch becuase she was afraid she would be funnier than her, because she is.

I've seen the phrase "free speech" used quite a bit with regard to this and similar situations. Did I miss the part of the story where Tracy was hauled off to the clink by agents of the government after making his statements?

Just to clarify, no one is curtailing his free speech. He's apologizing because he'd like to stay on good terms with those who watch his show, produce his show, and see his act.

If he doesn't care, he's free to dig in his heels and make his living performing just for those who weren't offended by his comments. Just as those who were offended are entitled to bitch about it to their hearts' content. But if Tracy has some gay friends or coworkers, makes more money when gays and their friends pay to see him too, and has a wife who is distressed about jokes imagining the stabbing of their offspring, might be best to explain how the joke went too far and move on. Which he tried to do.

I've never been able to tell if he's just some perpetually inebriated guy whose ramblings turned out to be funny more often than not, or if he's a professional comic.
