Silverman says it was “disheartening” because “I really kind of devoted my life to making it right” (via toofab)
"I didn't fight it," Silverman explained."It was so disheartening."
The particular episode of the comedy sketch series, which ran from 2007 to 2010 and featured a fictionalized version of Silverman, included the actress in blackface commenting on racism."I recently was going to do a movie, a sweet part," Silverman began. "Then, at 11 p.m. the night before, they fired me because they saw a picture of me in blackface from that episode."
After looking back at the blackface episode, which Silverman said reflected her comedy style at the time, the "I Love You America" star expressed how she has repeatedly condemned her own sketch in the years since -- recognizing how inappropriate it was.
