From Entertainment Weekly:

On second thought, Chris Rock does want to live in a world where Tracy Morgan can’t say hugely offensive things.

Rock backed off his Tweet supporting the embattled 30 Rock star after he apparently read what Morgan actually said.

Tweeted Rock: “Tracy morgan is a tad off we all know that so when tracy says something i usually don’t take it anymore serious than i would a statement from gary busey or flavor flav. when i first heard the statement i thought it was offensive but it also reminded me of my father saying ill kill you if you ever bring home a white girl but after reading everything tracy said. wow i get it that s— wasn’t called for and i don’t support it at all. now can i please go to the tony awards without getting my a** kicked.”
