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.

A relative of mine wrote for Sonny & Cher. Loved Sonny, hated Cher. True.

I can see that. Sonny's personality comes through as warm and friendly, while Cher appears as a self-centered stone cold Bitch.

One of my Favorite stories about Sonny is when he was a congressman and someone asked him what he thought about "Illegal Aliens".

He said: "Well they're illegal, aren't they?"

This relative worked for them during their divorce! Cher screamed all the time and Sonny had to keep everyone together. There’s a freeper here who worked with them and can concur with what I’m saying. One time I was in a grocery store in LA and Cher passed us without acknowledging my cousin. He raged in the parking lot about that. I didn’t even recognize her, to be honest.

The first two words of that headline are a lie.

Cher is almost always 100% wrong on any given political issue.

If Cher says it, figure the opposite is true.

Actually, yesterday Rachel said she was born in a tee pee and had to use a bow and arrow to find food.

I lived in London in the late 80’s when Blackadder was on Brit TV. You’re right. It was cool.

Some blacks are cool, many are not but there is nothing particularly great about simply being black anymore than there is anything particularly great about being white, brown, yellow, red, purple, green or indifferent. I am sick of this disgusting black is cool, white ain’t cool garbage. I know some black people I happen to like a lot but they certainly don’t stroll around talking about how cool it is to be black, they judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Where did I pick that up I wonder. Seems like I heard it in a speech sometime, definitely did not originate with me. Wouldn’t be surprised to find out a black man said it.

Do I care what Cher thinks about anything?

So um if an adult pretends to be someone they aren’t, their parents should go along with it, like they’re humoring a 5 year old? Ok then, I’ll tell my mom to start calling me “your highness”.
