Black Man Wears ‘Blackface’ to Sarah Silverman Show to Protest Her Old Bit, Gets Ejected From Show
A black man decided to attend a show for the far left comedian Sarah Silverman in blackface, to protest a bit from one of her old shows where she donned blackface.
Security ejected the man from the show. He even ended up in the hospital
The New York Post reports:
Black man in blackface makeup booted from Sarah Silverman show for protesting old skit
An elderly man said he was manhandled by security and booted from a Sarah Silverman show in New Jersey after protesting her infamous blackface skit while wearing blackface.
The man, who is African-American, detailed the ugly alleged encounter in an Instagram post blowing up online.
In the post, Michael B. Jackson, 71, accused the “racist Sarah Silverman” of having “goons” rough him and evict him because he wore “blackface paint at her show.” Accompanying pics show the demonstrator lying in bed at the hospital following the alleged incident.
The wild altercation reportedly occurred on February 4 while Jackson was sitting front row at the 52-year-old comic’s show at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, TMZ reported. In an accompanying video, Jackson can be seen sporting black makeup and white paint on his lips as he prepares for Silverman to take the stage.
He was reportedly protesting a 15-year-old episode of “The Sarah Silverman” show, in which the comic donned blackface for an inflammatory skit on race. Jackson had deemed the sketch collection of racist comments masquerading as comedy.
In the sketch, Silverman’s character wore dark face paint to see whether it is more difficult to be black or Jewish.
“I look like the beautiful Queen Latifah,” she said in the 2007 sketch before telling the congregation at an African-American church, “I’m black today.”
We thought progressives liked protests. What happened?
