Cher Savages Thanksgiving: ‘I Don’t’ Celebrate the ‘Beginning of a Great Crime’

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.

There aren't very many who listen to her music anymore, why would she think anyone would care any more about her opinions?

Maybe she shoulda spent less time pondering injustice down through the ages and more on being a good parent.

Pretty sure Cher’s Armenian, not American Indian.

From Wikipedia:

Cher's High School Picture

Cher was born Cherilyn Sarkisian in El Centro, California, on May 20, 1946. 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.

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

Yeah, it was all unicorns and rainbows for native Americans before the white scourge arrived.

It's not like they raped, killed, tortured, and ate each other before we got here or anything.

This is mom:

Unless the Cherokees were a Teutonic tribe, I think she's about as Indian as Elizabeth Warren.

Amazing what they can do with Bondo and Spackle, and a coat of paint.

Does the distinguised historian Cher think the European settlement of North America is the only instance of peoples moving around the world? That’s actually been the history of every part of the world until nations were formed and immigration laws established and enforced, or not enforced.

She’s an ignoramus trying to sound PC and compassionate.

Her entire fanbase consists of fags.

...native Americans who had no concept of property ownership...

Some did some didn't. Cher should read some Allan W. Eckert and get back to us on who was more brutal. It's a tough call.

If you’re troubled and you can’t relax
Close your eyes and think of this
If the rumors floating in your head all turn to facts
Close your eyes and think of this

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

If you ever want to lose some time
Just take off, there’s no risk
If you ever want to disappear
Just take off, and think of this

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

The sky is glass, the sea is brown
And everyone is upside-down

Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky

Freak out!
Freak out!

-From “The Who Sell Out”

She's a native American. Why should Thanksgiving be anything but a day of mourning for native Americans?

She's only a small part Indian. I wonder why she never talks about her majority European heritage.

The Indians weren't saintly. They were stealing each others' land well before we arrived on the scene.

Now many of them live a life of prosperity unimagined before because of the Europeans who settled here and established freedom under the Constitution.

She doesn’t mind the criminals giving her their money though. That makes her a whore.
