tbh I could believe it, kids are highly impressionable and a child raised on CNN could definitely be conditioned to fear fireworks.

Both the meme and this response are equally likely/accurate.....except less likely at 4....maybe 5-6.

Sarah Silverman got cucked out of a movie role because a 2007 comedy sketch where she's wearing blackface a bunch resurfaced.
Funniest part is, this wasn't some hidden secret like most of these blackface controversies lately, this was a famous comedy sketch program of hers and since 2007 she's endlessly apologized for it, denounced it, and tried to make up for doing it, and she still got cucked.
Ironically there's a more recent interview where she's asked about her controversial position (in the stand-up world I suppose) on PC culture and how it is killing comedy, how she disagrees with most comedians and values PC culture etc etc. Says comedians could learn from PC college students and so on.
WOMP WOMP.

It’s not like the world needed to see Sarah Silverman in another movie any way.

As much as I hate Sarah Silverman (which is quite a bit), that is complete bullshit. I hate how people get blacklisted for relatively innocuous things they did in the past just because it is now perceived to be racist/sexist/homophobic/insensitive/microaggressive. It's all just fake outrage.
That said, the irony of her being a far-lefty nowadays makes this hilarious.

Hard to be compelled to defend her when she literally supports and promotes political correctness.

No, not her, but this whole witchhunt to eviscerate people's public image by revealing stupid shit from the past is just unfair. If I don't like it when it happens to people I like, it would be hypocritical of me to laud it just because it happens to the 'was never funny' Sarah Silverman. PC has no place in comedy, and stuff like this just shows how uncompromising the industry is even with one of their own kind.

I don't mind some of Silverman's stuff, mostly older stuff. I don't think it's hypocritical in this case because she's an actual proponent of political correctness, not just someone I dislike etc. She's done multiple interviews essentially saying she supports this exact kind of 'cancel culture' practice.

Apparently she doesnt support it, despite being PC as fuck.

I don't know if she said anything that contradicts this in the past, but this is what she is saying now. I feel like Breitbart would have thrown her to the wolves if she used to be a proponent of cancel culture.
Im honestly not for it period, left or right.

Well no fucking shit she's "against it" now after it happened to her lmao but she's been in multiple interviews over the years outright saying she supports it. I'm sure commies love communism until they're up against the wall.
Here's just a few that immediately pop up in a Youtube search:
And I'm not for it either, but I still have zero sympathy when it happens to someone who is for it.

I fucking hate you for making me watch several videos about Sarah Silverman to see if she really did contradict herself. But she didn't. She just talks about what is appropriate or not in PC culture, and says that modern times call for modern jokes, more or less. There is nothing in those bits about blacklisting people for what they said in the past. Just because she likes being PC does not mean she supports cancel culture, and based on those interviews I bet if she were asked about it she would say it's wrong. I actually wished that you would have been right, but unfortunately your anti-PC blinders are dialed in too high.

is anyone else bothered by the fact that
she didn't actually name the movie
is anyone else thinking that there's a tiny possibility Silverman just made this shit up as a crazy publicity-stunt??

No because she had already expressed her shame with her blackface skit a year ago, so why would she want to bring it up in shame yet again?
