If every word a person says has to be right and balanced and fair, I will jump off a tall thing onto a hard place.

This has to do with the Tracy Morgan controversy. I don't even know what he said, except that it was apparently hateful toward gays, but if what Louis also says is true, it was part of his comic act and it wasn't meant.
Personally, I appreciate the cultural sensitivity we have about invidious discrimination, but life is raw on the street, away from the cameras and microphones, and I don't see why that shouldn't be reflected in our art. Should a political leader, or anyone in responsible positions, give vent to such expressions? Probably not. But comic acts and movies are another thing, no?
Incidentally, we have posted some stuff by Louis before. I'm not a big fan of the 'white asshole' act, myself, but I'd hate to see him jump off a tall place.
