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.
Guesting on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Silverman said that she was let go the day before shooting on her scenes was due to start because of the photo, taken on the set of The Sarah Silverman Show.
“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.’”
Does anyone have her Instagram medicine cabinet boobies in the mirror pic? Instagram took it down already.

>BERNIE BERNIE BERNIE #BERNIE2016 >Hilldawgs rig DNC to vote for her as was obvious to anyone that isn't a retarded lefty >they get Sarah to go up on the podium right after it was confirmed Hilldawg will be the nominee and say "haha oh well FUCK BERNIE GET ON THE #HILLDAWG TRAIN HELLZ YEA A shill for whoever writes the best check.

Didn't she celebrate when roseanne got shitcanned for way less "problematic" shit?
Xavier Davis
That's funny, I seem to remember her applauding Roseanne for getting her comeback ruined because she dared to call a black woman ugly.
Joseph Clark
>cheers when politicians are forced out of office for past racist stuff >says its ridiculous when she loses a job for doing racist stuff
>only a problem when it happens to you So very typical
Sebastian Adams
Yep
Hunter Turner
Why are whites so racist?
Ian Watson
Wish Fallon and Kimmel would get it.
David Thompson
the woman wasn't even black. she was iranian
Aaron Murphy
>spend entire career pandering to "everyone left of centre is a racist bigot" audience and content >"waahh it's so disheartening how could people be so self-righteous and virtue signalling"
lol no one deserves it more . eat shit. the only way this would be better is if she dies of the gay plague of AIDS
Jackson Price
it was a good skit, too. It's a shame she went full retard.
i thought the sketch was done in pretty good taste when i saw it originally, its quite clearly not meant to be serious or offensive, the point is her and a black guy walk a mile in each others shoes, the black guy dresses up as le merchant jew and they both learn a lesson.
i was more offended when she recently started saying she was sorry for doing it and regretted it etc.
utterly pathetic that you get fired from a film like that over nothing.
Andrew Brown
>They hired someone else who is wonderful but who has never stuck their neck out. I know what you mean Sarah. They ruined based Mel's career for him being brave and sticking his neck out too!
Xavier Baker
She was 1/4rd black you shitlord. Ironically the character she was being compared to had no major features that are prominent among blacks(she had thin lips, small eyes and a button nose),
Joseph Mitchell
It's enjoyable seeing people who deserve it get their comeuppance.
Joshua Clark
Well, it’s over, they bit a Jew. No more SJW.
Camden Lee
leftists eating their own love it
Joseph Green
Literally "it's okay when we do it" Fucking hell does this bitch not think before she speaks?
Cooper Edwards
Why are liberals so violently opposed to white people pretending to be black but they have no problem with men pretending to be women?
Christian Nelson
>its quite clearly not meant to be serious or offensive What's your point? The prevailing lefty view is that context is irrelevant. If you did a no-no at any point in the past for any reason you are no longer welcome in their club and by club they mean alive
Caleb Richardson
This.
Luis Johnson
>“righteousness porn”. You mean "virtue signaling"?
Henry Robinson
Barr was fired for posting Pizzagate shit and attacking George Soros but Disney will never admit it.

Nathaniel Perry
You need to wait longer than that to revise history, lefty. She got shut down and deplatformed right after she called that foul mouthed woman ugly and compared her to a character from Planet of the Apes.
Anthony Murphy
That Kimmel skit is legit racist and not just him playing a black guy
Brayden Peterson
We must secure a future for the white race - Sarah Silverman
I have never seen this Ironic because doing this exact same thing FOR A JEWISH MAGAZINE is what got roseannes show pulled
Grayson Ortiz
I know the "official" reason, but she would have been fired either way, she was getting pretty edgy on Twitter.
Landon Garcia
gib
Colton Sullivan
Looking it up, I only see Silverman getting shit for praising Roseanne's premiere (this was before the drama).
Michael Green
It's similar to what happened with Dave Chappelle, he also was into making fun of racist stuff but eventually decided all the jokes about racism were real racism and that laughing about these stereotypes was the worst thing ever.
Brandon Ortiz
oy vey! shut it down!
Anthony Richardson
>throwing the first stone Odd choice of words, for her.
Carson Barnes
As someone who holds mostly lefty views I swear to god this type of shit has to be some CIA cointelpro D&C shit.
She’s right the left gets BTFO by it more than the right because the right doesn’t give a shit at all. And then the Zionists deflect any criticism of Israel or its lobby in the US as anti-semitism. So the right ends up actually benefiting from Idpol and shutting up progressive critiques of US Middle East policy and relations.
Outside maybe Cumtown and Chapo where do you go on the left if you think Idpol sensitivity is retarded and counter-productive? Why do all these people think the one thing holding back America is spicy jokes and not an absolute kangaroo court legal system? Seems to me like cultural racism has grown as pushback to language policing and doxxing, and what’s been gained by it at all? Losing all three branches of government to the more openly racist right?
It’s like, fuck. Yeah, make stuff where minorities have positive representation, but you don’t need to hound mostly well-meaning people for making mistakes.
It’s like people that want to win on semantic technicality instead of coherent communication.

>spends her whole life mocking Catholics and Jesus >gets triggered by some Aussie bantz
>As someone who holds mostly lefty views I swear to god this type of shit has to be some CIA cointelpro D&C shit. Or maybe you guys are getting Alinsky'd and being forced to live up to your own rules :^)
>She’s right the left gets BTFO by it more than the right because the right doesn’t give a shit at all
Yeah that's bullshit. The right gets burned on this massively more because everything they do is assumed to be Hitleresque.
It's only in the last few years that you started getting some right wing political commentators pushing against it which resulted in guys like Tucker Carlson looking like more entertaining interviewers than any late night comedy show hosts.

>Fallon Playing a black character. >Kimmel Playing a black character. >Bahr Playing a black character. >Crystal Playing a black character.
>Danson Blackface >Garland Blackface
How to determine if it's blackface or not? Well, if you're actually trying to look like a person, then it's not black face. But when you make yourself look like a clown, then it is blackface. It's really not that hard to understand, pigskins.
Tropic Thunder made it obvious they were making fun of the Hollywood directors and actors that used blackface
James Brown
first post sneed
Liam Gonzalez
>The left unleashed a mind virus as a political weapon >Surprised when it mostly infects their own The left is toxic and it eats itself. The only safe place in current America is outside of the left. Insiders are getting torn to pieces.
Isaiah Evans
didn't stop people from getting mad at Simple Jack even though that was clearly making fun of actors trying to play disabled people just for oscar bait.
Carter Hall
SJWs dont care about context, and they were making fun of method acting (with blackface), not blackface itself.
