Sarah Silverman Says She Was ‘F–ing Ignorant’ to Think She Could ‘Say the N-Word’ During Stand-Up Because She Was ‘Liberal’: ‘Looking Back, My Intentions Were Always Good’
Sarah Silverman says she was 'f--ing ignorant' to think it was OK to use slurs in her stand-up material.
Sarah Silverman is opening up about her past use of racial slurs in her stand-up and how she’s shifted to less offensive material in the years since. In a recent sit-down with Rolling Stone, the comedian said she once felt she could use slurs while performing stand-up because she was “playing a character” and knew her real intentions were “always good.” However, upon reflection years later, she now sees the error in her thinking. Silverman has since apologized for such incidents and now sees herself as more “PC.” However, she maintains that her move away from offensive humor was not out of fear of upsetting the masses.
