Cher appealed to twitter to “judge her heart not her stats” after a tweet filled with an astounding amount of errors, Twitchy reported.

Twitter users reacted swiftly and negatively to the 75-year-old pop star.
I know everyone’s correcting you on calling Africa a country. It seems more important to point out that BLM already has the right to vote.

omg. where to even start with this.
Africa = continent
Africa = one of the most poorest continents on the planet.
White people didn’t ‘steel’ its wealth.
Hundreds of white farmers have been literally butchered in S. Africa.
Black Christians have been murdered in the thousands. https://t.co/PAs3ywXSNi— Karolina (@SweetRuakh) November 14, 2021

After such an extreme reaction Cher wrote another tweet defending herself:
To Everyone,when I Started
To research I Read It Wrong.GIMME A fn BREAK
JUDGE MY HEART NOT JUST MY STATS…— Cher (@cher) November 14, 2021
People were, once again, amused and confused.
What do you mean “when I started to research”? You just researched whether Africa was a continent or a country? And you still got it wrong?
Why do you feel qualified to talk about anything involving this?
Maybe part of your heart should care about spreading misinformation.

If you don’t even have a basic grasp of geography (much less, I imagine, of history) your pronouncements on Twitter are actually rather dangerous – so we will judge your ‘stats’ rather than your heart. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The “I Got You, Babe” singer and ex-wife of late Rep. Sony Bono, R-Calif., may be wishing she could “turn back time” on her most recent gaffe. But it is by no means her first.
In fact, Cher has become a popular source of social-media stupidity, including her pledge—which she never made good on—to move to Jupiter if then candidate Donald Trump were elected president.
@gabeAlfassy IF HE WERE TO BE ELECTED,IM MOVING TO JUPITER ?

It’s possible that the Oscar-winning actress is still trying to figure out what continent it’s on.
