Tracy Morgan

Tracy Morgan spoke on behalf of "30 Rock" when the show won its Golden Globe and had one of the funniest speeches of the night.


"Tina Fey and I had an agreement that if Barack Obama won, I would speak for the show from now on. Welcome to post-racial America! I am the face of post-racial America. Deal with it Cate Blanchett!


He added, "A black man can't get no love at the Emmys. I love you Europe!"

I think Tracy Morgan was drunk and unfunny.

If so, that would follow a recent appearance with David Letterman in which some speculated that he was intoxicated. Remember his rather bizarre references to Oprah and the cringed look of embarrasment on Letterman's face?

Tina Fey and Tracey Morgan were hands down the best part of the entire Globes.

Liberals: Black man makes joke about fake current suffering and fake current injustice - Que: Laugh, "so true", "he's great". White people out there, you don't constantly have to feel guilty. We elected a black president.

It's called sarcasm. You should watch 30 Rock, you might learn something.

Never understood why it is OK to use sarcasm in race-relations? I'm never that sophisticated where I discover the brilliance behind sarcasm in racism?

White conservative idi0t: racism is not over just because America elected its first black president; white people still have issues about the subject. Your post proves it.

Well good, now can we get some more people (Asian, Latino, Native American) in the senate? Yeah, though so.

I doubt YOU had much to do with a black man being elected president. Don't you take credit for it now.

Why is it that the GOP pretends to be "color-blind", but you always get a blowhard on this post who always has to throw a comment about Obama's race in? Or any kind of racial politics at all?

The GOP has been using racial politics to divide and conquer. It's only natural that they keep doing it.

I don't think there is an in joke other than she's white and from Europe. The way Tracy's humor works is very unusual. His shtick is essentially acting like someone's who's frontal lobe has been removed.

He told a JOKE, from a Black perspective. IT WAS FUNNY, HE"S FUNNY on the Show, otherwise he wouldn't be on the Show and the show is a huge hit. GET OVER IT!!

Funny is funny, and if you want to make this into something else ...how sad!!! Lighten up, and lift your spirits!!!

Once again another famous black man blames "Whitey" and others for his own shortcomings, screwups and failures. Tracy and Spike must suffer from the same delusions.

These are your words, not his. As a "whitey", I completely agree with him.

So deal with it, whatevahs.

Once again another kowtowing liberal attacks someone for exercising their freedom of speech. No surprise considering that the lefties in this country are the worst fascists in history second to their cousins the Nazis.

I agree with you. Racists would not get his humor. It's covered over with all that hatred. Fortunately, as time goes on, his kind are becoming fewer in number. That must really suck.

I thought he was pretty hilarious. Tracy is one touched in the head fella who clearly makes his co-workers (and me) laugh, and I think that's great. I mean, because of "Brian Fellows" my friends and I still, to this day, say various people have "crazy eyes" and "he's tryin' to steal my credit!"

Different strokes for different folks. I happen to think he's funniest when he's trashed but ironically his speech last night made me chuckle and it looked like he wasn't as "on" as he normally is.

Check out his last appearence on Letterman. He definitely got his "drink on" before he came on the show.

About the only parallel I can draw between Tracy Morgan and Barack Obama is that they're both mammals. For those who defend this foolishness as humor, it appears to provoke the type of laughter induced by watching a drunken person tumble down a flight of stairs. Come on people.

Just because you don't see it as humor, does not mean it is not humor. That's the entire point of Tracy's speech. The world will no longer be viewed through the lens of a white man. Therefore, there will be things that you may not understand or find funny--but the beauty of it is that it is your perfect right not to understand it . Those who don't fit the "traditional American" profile no longer has to justify to the world what they said and why they said it. If you don't understand the humor now, you never will.

Tracy Morgan is INSANE and hilarious. But I'm certain he's clinically crazy and thank God for showbiz, otherwise where would all the crazy people (me included) go.
