Last year Tracy Morgan's mentor and comedy writing partner James 'Jimmy Mack' McNair was killed after a Walmart truck slammed into their limo-bus on the New Jersey turnpike [click here if you missed that].
Last night Tracy Morgan failed to mention his late writing partner during his surprise Emmy Awards appearance sending Jimmy Mack's family into a rage…
James McNair's son Jamel wrote in an angry Facebook post that has since been deleted,
"You take the Emmy stage and give a speech and tell jokes in front of thousands of people. But you don't show up to celebrate the life of your best friend 'Uncle Jimmy Mack' at his (June 12) Honor, send a smoke signal, give a call, text, send a damn pigeon."Mack's sister tells NY Daily News,
"I understand it's been a great ordeal for Tracy over the last 15 months. I just feel in some form or fashion, he should have acknowledged my brother - his mentor - because he lost his life."
"I know there's a healing process, mentally and emotionally. I'm sure being in that limo and seeing certain things, it was highly traumatic for him. But just take a minute along the way to acknowledge my brother. He has children, siblings, a big family all bearing that same pain."
