Former SNL Comedian Sets Twitter Off with Racist, Anti-Gay Tweets

Colin Quinn ruffled a few feathers

Anybody that used to watch him on Saturday Night Live or his show Tough Crowd on Comedy Central back in the day knows how comedian Colin Quinn gets down. So his recent tweets about race and gay marriage should really be of no surprise. But, he's still managed to offend a few folks on Twitter.

Check out what he had to say about somebody we're assuming is named Will Ferrell.

There's a lot of in the closet celebs. I knew one at SNL.

I don't want to blow his cover because he's married and his wife is his "anchor". But he had an "elf" like quality that made me wonder.

He didn't stop there, he also shared his views on gay marriage:

I don't feel anybody should have to hide their sexuality. But this gay marriage thing needs to be stopped. Now. Am I right, or right?

I believe everyone should have equal rights, but not to where it changes the laws.

But wait, there's more. He just couldn't believe today's news about other races outnumbering whites in child birth.

Just read white birth rates overtaken by other races in the U.S.? Please let that be somebody's idea of a sick joke! #rightorwrong

Nothing against anybody else but this is kind of..our country. Yes or no?

But, he wants to explain himself, just in case you took it the wrong way.

I'm not a racist who believes in white privelege but I do believe very strongly in white power.

Everybody should be allowed to speak freely, right?
