Cher told her fans on Wednesday that she does not celebrate Thanksgiving. In fact, she appears to deplore the American holiday, calling in the “beginning of a great crime.” Cher said that the American settlers were guilty of taking land from native Americans who had no concept of property ownership and also intentionally infected them with smallpox.

“You don’t celebrate the holiday I thought?” a fan asked Cher.

“I DON’T,” Cher replied emphatically. She said that, to her, Thanksgiving is a day to see family, eat food together and watch a movie. “Not 2 celebrate the beginning of a GREAT Crime.”

When asked why she believed this by another fan, Cher explained: “Stealing Land, from a ppl, Who believed, Owning Land Was LIke Owning SKY!”

“We gave them Blankets laced w/ Smallpox,” Cher concluded.

“Thanksgiving is a day to see family, eat food together and watch a movie.”

I don’t know, that sounds just like how you celebrate thanksgiving.

She doesn’t like Thanksgiving? No wonder she has always been so skinny. :)

I have a great idea for this freak with an overload of silicon - since the settlement of America by non-Native American Indians was such a horrible crime, why doesn’t she go back to where her ancestors came from? Like Armenia. I’m SURE she will like it there MUCH better.

Airhead.

[windcliff]

She’s Armenian.

I just got back from Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt’s house. She is an Indian/Native American. Sure glad she isn’t like Cher. It was a good meal.

Joe do you by some chance have a picture of Jar Jar binks after he stuck his head between the energy beams of Anakin’s pod racer? Because that is what Cher is going to look like once her face lift collapses.

[dps.inspect]

She only says that because no one would invite her to their homes...

[metesky]

She's a native American.

IIRC, she's a Lebanese Arab.

Why should Thanksgiving be anything but a day of mourning for native Americans?

So they wouldn't still be living in rough housing, eating their dogs and wondering WTF the wheel could possibly be used for?

Is Cher in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet? She and Dion (the Wandererer guy, not the Canadian chick) belong in there for pioneering the use of one word names.

Dee Snider must've hit a bad patch in life.

Cher was born Cherilyn Sarkisian in El Centro, California, on May 20, 1946.[3] Her father, John Sarkisian, was an Armenian truck driver with drug and gambling problems, and her mother, Jackie Jean Crouch, was an occasional model and bit-part actress with Irish, English, German, and Cherokee ancestry.

Chere is about as "Indian" as Fauxcahontas.

I thought she was a Gypsy, tramp and thief?

I Don’t Celebrate the Beginning of a Great Crime

I thought that she did go to the inauguration.
