I love racist jokes too. I even like gay jokes (I have some very off color AIDS jokes I sometimes tell).

However, I fail to see the joke in going on a rant about how homosexuality is a choice, that bullied gay children need to shut the hell up, and that if your son told you he's gay you'd stab him to death. Where's the joke? Those just seem like bigoted, hateful comments.

So, according to the OP this is Comedy Gold:

"If my son were gay he better come home and talk to me like a man and not [like a homosexual--Morgan mimicked a feminine voice] or I'd pull out a knife and stab that little N***** to death."

Would it be considered funny if he said something along the lines of "If my son came home a born-again christian I'd stab that little N***** to death?"

How about "If my son came home a conservative republican I'd stab that little N***** to death?"

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Ain't it a hoot?

Do you people have any clue how many gay men and lesbians are beaten up or murdered every year by some idiot who feels threatened by gay people, who has been taught by his family and by his church that gay people are not worthy of the same sort of lives they lead?

And by the way, "Freedom of Speech" does not mean "Freedom from Consequences".

You wanna say something hateful and stupid and vile? Go right ahead but don't wimp out and whine about it when someone calls you out on your bulls**t.

I dont find gay jokes funny. Now blonde & polish jokes are a different story.
