Sarah Silverman says she recently lost a small role in a movie for wearing blackface in 2007 episode of her show
“You have to ask yourself, would I want this person to be changed or do I secretly want them to stay what I deem as wrong so I can point to to them as f---ed up and myself as right?” Silverman said of the trend.
Silverman said that the episode with her in blackface was supposed to explore race through an ignorant and arrogant character, but there was still so much she didn't understand about race at the time. The episode, called"Face Wars," has Silverman satirically claiming it's easier to be a black American than to be Jewish.
“I’m not saying don’t hold me accountable, I held myself accountable," she said."I can’t erase that I did that, but I can only be changed forever and do what I can to make it right for the rest of my life.” The comedian said she didn't fight to keep the role she lost over the blackface episode, but that it upset her because"I've kind of devoted my life to making it right.", Silverman said she doesn't stand by the blackface episode and is horrified over it. Silverman also said that making mistakes is part of the nature of working in comedy.
“Comedy by nature is not at all evergreen," she told GQ."So if you're doing it right, you look back at your old stuff and you're horrified."
