Cher might want to think about thinking a little bit more before tweeting and doing a little research before weighing in on current events via social media.

The legendary songstress attempted to voice her opinion about Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who is being accused of pretending to be black to become the head of an NAACP chapter, on Twitter Saturday (June 13) and totally missed the mark on the whole situation. 

WHY did Rachel Dolezal’s Parents OUT Their Daughter? It Was Cruel.I Don’t Know WHY She Chose Her PATH,But Who Doesn’t Want 2 have Blk COOL

Cher's comment basically saying everyone wants to be black because they are cool angered and confused many fans who weren't afraid to talk back. The singer then felt the need to clarify her comments and responded to several of the disappointed tweets, thus digging herself into a bigger hole.

Cher, you're just another patronizing, condescending, paternalistic phony.

[x1stcav]

Uh, Cher, you dried up old harpy, what exactly is cool about being black?

(Oh, damn! I think I just qualified as being racist!)

The woman who thought Mount Rushmore was a natural phenomenon.

And let’s not forget: Cher has a dog in this race.

they’re kind of ruining the meme of black being such a disadvantaged race with all this you know.

Wasn’t Rachel scared the COPS were going to shoot her at any moment?

[Yaelle]

My favorite Cher story is the one where the guy was the parking lot of some store and a limo pulls up and Cher steps out. The guy gets up closer and starts saying, “ oh my gosh, I can’t believe it’s you, I love you! I’m a huge fan! I listen to your show all the time, Mr. Stern!” (Meaning Howard) Whereupon Cher’s smile vanishes and she starts squeaking in her inimitable voice, “A MAN?! You thought I was a MAN?!”

Gypsy, tramp and thief?.....................

[muir_redwoods]

Cher dropped out of school in her second attempt at the 9th grade. She’s not generally recognized as a person whose thoughts are valued.
