Tracy Morgan Attempts To Clarify His Homophobic Comments

Over the last week, Tracy Morgan has gotten a verbal tongue-lashing from friends, co-workers, gay rights groups and a horde of internet users thanks to some homophobic comments he made during a stand-up routine. Of all the artistic pursuits, stand-up comedy has become perhaps the last unchecked bastion for uncensored and politically-incorrect conversation. That freedom is worth having, and it’s worth defending.

This is one of those times when people misunderstand the First Amendment, which concerns governmental regulation of expression. Being able to say almost whatever you want does not mean you should be exempt from the consequences. If that was true, then there wouldn't be laws about perjury and slander, and that whole "fire" in a crowded theatre thing.
