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.

Maybe now she will understand the absurdity of posturing for makeup.

Bummer. It is so sad when left wing comedians and actors get held to the same standards that they apply to everyone else.

A bit of advice, Sarah homey - -
You should worry more about your black soul - - than any black face you may have worn.
You've been a hideous, narcissistic, hateful person all your life. Think about that - - and try to do something positive about it.

She should have been fired for not being funny.

Actually, the more I think about her, she should be in the protected class, but evidently, she's not a member in good standing. If I were in her shoes, I would say that it was antisemitism that was behind her firing and file suit.

Fired for using blackface....or you’re just a terrible actress. There’s always that.

Yeah, blackface, that's the ticket.
It couldn't have anything to do with being an aging, brown around the edges, no longer all that funny, shrill, middle-aged woman with an affectation of sounding like a nine year old.

I personally am sad for Sarah, not about the movie gig, but for how funny and incisive she used to be as a comedian. So many of the funny ones, working in the Hollywood environment and wanting to get ahead, have hitched their wagon to the donkey cart and have gone from funny to pathetic. Doing stand-up in a bell jar with Rob Reiner et al just doesn't carry.
She was great in her show and loved her in School of Rock. I know you're funny Sarah, please come back.

Sarah Silverman...I mean who gives a GREAT bowel movement?
Hairy brainless being...and really really without a visible talent. I wonder how she got into 'movies' (term use very lightly today).

I misplaced that darn violin again. I should be more careful because the need always arises suddenly.

But don't feel bad, Sarah. Who could have possibly known that Blacks would become sacred cows within twelve years?

I like Sarah, she really pushed the bounds of comedy, but she is also a huge lib. It also amuses me that this PC crap is coming back to bite her.

Anybody like that silly witch?
Anybody feel sorry for that clown?
Ask Kamala Harris about dressing in blackface...that Jamaican Indian does it every day!
Ask Fauxcohontas about dressing in Indian face every day!
Ask Beto O’rourke about dressing in Hispanic face every day!
Lefties are trapped in their silly little fantasy world and don’t belong here!

Well, what about the governor of VA, Northam? He seems to be skating along with the accused rapist Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax? If anyone should be hoist on petards, it ought to be people who are in authority as lawmakers or enforcers of the Law, not some silly comedian.
Silverman was hilarious in an episode of "Monk" several years back. I had no idea who she was at the time, it doesn't matter. She had me in stiches laughing.
In any case, the speech police need to be disbanded and dispatched, the practice of employing as a cudgel a speech code as rigid, stultifying and destructive of creativity as in the USSR or any other totalitarian regime must be ended.

Hollywood leftists love having people blacklisted, except when it happens to them (at which point it's a regrettable mistake, not evidence that they are horrible people). Why is Ralph "Coonman" Northam (D) still governor of the New Dominion?
