Awww Sara Silverman fired for wearing blackface

I love when the left gets eaten by the monster they created.

Sarah Silverman has said she was recently fired from a film after producers unearthed a still of her in 2007 wearing blackface for a comedy sketch.

“I recently was going to do a movie, a sweet part,” she said, “then, at 11pm the night before, they fired me because they saw a picture of me in blackface from that episode.

“I didn’t fight it. They hired someone else who is wonderful but who has never stuck their neck out. It was so disheartening. It just made me real, real sad, because I really kind of devoted my life to making it right.”

Silverman did not name the film but discussed “cancel culture” with Simmons, saying that the current climate had left her feeling fearful. “I think it’s really scary and it’s a very odd thing that it’s invaded the left primarily and the right will mimic it,” adding that she dubs it “righteousness porn”.

“It’s like, if you’re not on board, if you say the wrong thing, if you had a tweet once, everyone is, like, throwing the first stone,” she continued. “It’s so odd. It’s a perversion. It’s really, ‘Look how righteous I am and now I’m going to press refresh all day long to see how many likes I get in my righteousness.’”

Silverman has previously expressed mixed feelings concerning the sketch, telling GQ last month that at the time she was praised for the sketch, which enormously increased her profile.

“It was like, I’m playing a character, and I know this is wrong, so I can say it. I’m clearly liberal. That was such liberal-bubble stuff, where I actually thought it was dealing with racism by using racism.

  1. A: The left is doing the Puritan thing, but not ironically.

    B: “That was such liberal-bubble stuff, where I actually thought it was dealing with racism by using racism.” Trying to be apologetic and be let back in. She still doesn’t get it, even though she is fearful of the monster they created.

    Not red pilled yet, but she’s getting the dosage anyway.

    Doesn’t feel Christian to get enjoyment out of her misery, so I’ll be praying for forgiveness on that one tonight. 🙂

  2. …I love how she tries to argue that her blackface needs to be understood in context.

    I don’t remember her standing up for Kate Smith, who had a MUCH better contextual argument…

    “The songs in question included Smith’s 1939 version of “That’s Why Darkies Were Born” from the 1931 Broadway revue “George White’s Scandals.” It was considered satire at the time and was recorded by Smith and also by Paul Robeson, a black actor and civil rights icon. Smith also sang and appeared in a video for the jingle, “Pickaninny Heaven,” which contains racist lyrics and imagery.”

    …live by the absolute, die by the absolute, none of us are perfect but the Lord Himself, so if you raise this standard of perfection for EVERYONE at ALL TIMES IN THEIR LIFE, don’t be surprised when someone points out that YOU don’t meet it…

  3. …that said, I’m tired of everyone being held to modern lunatic “standards” for half-remembered crap from decades ago. I don’t know HOW modern Democrats got elevated to the status of arbeiters and punishers for all times and places, but here we are, and it seems that all we can DO about it is VALIDATE it by taking a page from the Alinsky playbook…

    “4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.”

    …it’s dangerous to try to use the Devil’s tools in his despite. While it’s good to call out hypocrisy, better still if you continue to point out the whole THING is stupid for EVERYONE than to join the “oooh, blackface rayciss bad” chorus, it only strenthens THEIR societal revisionism in the end…

    She did it on purpose and wore the makeup and stirred the whole mess up and is now playing a part for sympathy.

  6. these Left On Left attacks remind me of a Discovery Channel episode, where a disemboweled Hyena was snapping at its own entrails.
