Sarah Silverman did it to herself. The vocal comedian and activist took to Twitter to insinuate that Black people, or at least Black Twitter, was being silent about the anti-Semitic rhetoric Kanye West has been accused of hurling—and she was quickly and curtly course-corrected for her tomfoolery.
In case you’ve been unaware, Kanye West found himself placed on pause by first Instagram and then Twitter for what many say is anti-Semitic commentary. It started with him claiming Jews were who told Diddy to holla at him and then he said he was straight going to “Death Con 3” on Jews, after he gets some sleep.
That said, the Black Twitter delegation has been flaming Kanye West since he moment he dropped those bombs, and before, and for years. So then here comes Sarah Silverman acting like Ye was getting a pass.
“Kanye threatened the Jews yesterday on twitter and it’s not even trending. Why do mostly only Jews speak up against Jewish hate? The silence is so loud,” she tweeted on Sunday (Oct. 9) afternoon.

Now let’s keep in mind that Ye leaked his texts with Diddy on Friday, October 7, and he had been catching hell (and often specifically for the anti-semitism) ever since. So clearly, someone on the bid app (ahem, Sarah Silverman) must not be following a lot of Black people.

Soon enough, Silverman started copping pleas, saying she was talking about her fellow white comrades.
The thing that kills me is I was talking about white people but here we are

Yeah, sure, Sarah. We have reached the “I’m really the victim here” portion of Silverman’s struggle. She has been getting lit up ever since, and we’re here for it.
She even tried to come for Holly Robinson-Peete (and got cooked for that blasphemy, too).
Fuck fake allies like Sarah Silverman who perform in blackface then dare question us when we have already and CONSISTENTLY called out bigoted behavior long before now.
Y’all have lost your minds if you think we’re going to stand for this.

8. C’mon Red, no need to cape for her.
Sarah Silverman posted a tweet about a threat to Jews by someone who has more followers than all the Jews that exist and she’s being asked to apologize for it? Why is it assumed she was talking to black Twitter and not white Twitter?

The fact that Sarah Silverman implied that EVERYONE except Jewish folks were silent against Kanye and then said, “I only meant white people” is telling.
Are the Black women who have been calling Kanye in/out for years somehow less human? Do we not count?
