Still recovering from the fallout brought on by his anti-gay comments, Tracy Morgan decided to mock the mentally disabled in his latest stand-up routine that took place in New York City. Apparently he lacks any sense of decency at this point and has yet to realize that what he finds funny is actually offensive to many others.
"30 Rock" actor Tracy Morgan has come under fire yet again for remarks he made during a comedy show - this time, for poking fun at the mentally disabled.
"Don't ever mess with women who have retarded kids," Morgan told the audience during his performance at a Times Square comedy club in New York City on Saturday, according to The New York Times. "Them young retarded males is strong. They're strong like chimps."
Where to start. Using the word "retarded" to describe individuals who are mentally disabled? It's inflammatory, disturbing, and downright mean. Then he compares mentally handicapped men to "chimps." TO CHIMPS.
Mr. Morgan, WTF is wrong with you? First you encourage in a joking manner that violence towards gays is acceptable. You challenge the existence of lesbians. You said that if your son said he was gay, you would stab him. Now you're demeaning the mentally disabled by comparing them to an animal. You're dehumanzing them.
This is not funny. It never was.
Though the audience groaned, Morgan reportedly continued on with the touchy topic, and concluded with a bit about a girl he allegedly dated during his teen years whom he described as "a cripple."
Wow. What a winner. Don't know when to put the shovel down, do you?
