The fact that blacks are known for negative attitudes towards homosexuals probably counted against him:
I've always liked Tracy Morgan, and his comedy has never been described as politically correct. However, the 30 Rock actor may have gone too far this time with a rant that can only be described as homophobic. In this rant, which was part of his comedy routine, Morgan asserted that he would "stab" his children if they were gay, among other rhetoric that is being described as hate speech.
Though he apologized, calling himself an "equal opportunity jokester" who "clearly went too far and was not funny in any context," Morgan is still gathering heat -- even from his fellow 30 Rock actors."

There seems to be general agreement that he is not genuinely antipathetic to homosexuals. So it was just a joke that would probably have gone down well with an all-black audience.

Yeah stabbing people is hilarious! Did he also have jokes about stabbing people with dark skins??
He would if was "an equal opportunity jokster", as he claims!
If I had a child that was black, I'd stab my wife.
Hey Mr. Snorphy: Is one of your blogs nanny state related? Can find the links to them, but if you don't have one, you might think about starting one up, given that San Francisco alone would be able to be a constant source of targets.
Their latest target? Goldfish.

I never thought he was funny, anyway.
The Muslim world is not as anti-gay as one might think. There is quite a bit of male-on-male "contact" among young Muslims. They simply don't see it (or refuse to see it) as "being gay".
