Silverman objectifies race to get a cheap laugh, using 'social commentary' (or in this case, meta-commentary) as preemptive cover in anticipation of criticism. She's the heir to Andrew Dice Clay's dubious legacy, rather than that of Lenny Bruce. Hollow provocation for the sake of attracting attention (“no such thing as bad publicity,” etc).

She’s the heir to Andrew Dice Clay’s dubious legacy, rather than that of Lenny Bruce.

I've never understood why people find her funny. She uses stereotypes as fodder without any provocation of thought. Maybe it's because she is basically talentless and unable to project it the way others can, in other words talentless hack using stereotypes to her own advantage without considering the damage she does.

It's just a prank in white America. Silverman cleary had no point other than to try and get a laugh by intentionally being racist and demeaning. Racist baiting is what she does. She's your typical shock jock, who will do anything for a cheap, easy, laugh. Yeah Kev, Black face is as funny as nooses. It’s just a prank in white America.
