Tracy Morgan is still apologizing for anti-gay remarks he made during a performance in Nashville on June 3rd.
Read an account of Morgan's rant here.
Some people at Morgan's show enjoyed his "comedic take." A few people walked out. It wasn't until word of Morgan's performance spread via the Internet that his comments became a major problem for him.
Yesterday, Morgan returned to Nashville to apologize. He met with members of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and Kevin Rogers, the man who shared Morgan's offensive remarks via a Facebook post.
Associated Press video:
CNN video of Morgan's apology:
Morgan certainly seems sincere. He understands that he offended people with what he said.
He's taking responsibility for the words he said on stage. I believe he realizes that he really hurt people and he's deeply sorry.
Could it be that Morgan is just doing this apology tour because it's a smart career move?
Sure.
But I don't think that's what's going on here. Watching him speak and listening to his apology, I believe that what he said was heartfelt.
He's not that good of an actor to pull off a fake apology.
Morgan's high profile experience may prompt others to reflect on their own unkind words and realize the pain they cause.
Hopefully, Morgan isn't the only one who's learned a lesson.
