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.

You know, just this morning I was wondering, “what does Cher think about Thanksgiving?”

Or not. In fact, she can sit and spin. She got rich in the greatest country in the history of this planet and if she doesn’t like that she can give away her money and shut up.

Why hasn’t Cher given her fortune to the Indians and moved away from this hateful country?

is Cher aware that we gave the American Indians the "wheel" ?

and that Lincoln outlawed slavery by one Indian tribe against another ?

Cher has always been impressive. FWIW, back in the 1960s, my mom didn't agree with any of the new attitudes going on. But that Sonny and Cher show? She loved the way Cher didn't take anything from Sonny and never hid or showed embarrassment about her heritage. (or anything else)

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

As a gesture of goodwill, I suggest we confiscate and return some land to the Indians (they can use it to build casinos). Let’s begin with Malibu.

According to her bio:
“The singer was born Cherilyn Sarkisian. Her Mother, Jackie Jean Crouch is of Cherokee, English and German descent and her father is of Armenian Descent. Her father, John Sarkisian was an Armenian refugee who worked as a truck driver in the US.”

At best she’s 1/16th whatever. At looks, she’s too darn skinny, still.

She’s got no papers, so’s she’s more EURO than America, and also, since her biological father was “an Armenian refugee”, (from what?), I doubt he was a legal immigrant, as well. That makes HER AN ANCHORBABY.

She has foreknowledge of a ‘great crime’, i.e., her show biz career.

Pretty sure Cher’s Armenian, not American Indian.

From Wikipedia:

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.

Dear Cher....The Indians had the same rules for land ownership as the world...it's called "conquer".

They did it to their other tribes. It was a Roosevelt who said...If it wasn't for us, they would have killed themselves off.Then WE became their victims. Wyoming...Cherry Valley...

Then they sided with the British.

Cher...Your ignorance is overwhelming.

Just checked on Ask.com. Cher’s mother is Cherokee, American and French. Her father is Armenian. Remembering back,throughout her career she identified with her Indian heritage.

That is one miserable, unhappy hag.

Go drown in something, Cher.
