Sarah Silverman is set to go after Republican presidential candidate and Governer of Texas Rick Perry. The comedian/tv actress is planning a provocatively titled live comedy show in Texas titled "Live From Ni**erhead: Stripping The Paint Off Of Good Ol' Fashioned Racism."
The title refers to the controversy over Perry's hunting campground where the candidate has entertained friends and supporters. The campground's former name, "Ni**erhead", was painted on a rock at the entrance for many years.
"This is a never-forget moment," Silverman said. "The show's provocative name holds a mirror up to an ugliness that seems to have become yesterday's news without having barely even made news." The show will be held at the Paramount Theater in Austin on Nov. 1. Silverman plans to donate all proceeds to the NAACP.
Asked about the mocking use of the N word in the title, Silverman said, "The positive thing about N-head and other outwardly racist actions — like trying to put the Confederate f**king flag on Texas license plates — is that it's no longer just a gas in the air. It's something you can point to. It's something you can fight against and expose. So I see this as an opportunity that should be taken."
