JAKARTA - Singer Cher apologized on social media for his tweet about George Floyd's death on Friday, April 2.
It is known, George Floyd was one of the black people who died of police brutality in Minneapolis in May 2020. Floyd's neck was strangled for more than nine minutes and made Floyd die on the spot.
Friday, April 2, Cher wrote on Twitter. "Was talking to mum and she said 'I watched trial of the police who killed George Floyd & cried'
“I said 'Mom, I know this sounds crazy but… I kept thinking… maybe if I was in place… I could help,” he said on Twitter.
Before it was deleted, the tweet was controversial because it was insensitive and made the white savior, or the persona of white people, considered a helper.
After a few days, Cher thought that Twitter users didn't understand what the tweet meant.
But then he apologized for sounding offensive. “Just finished the phone call with a friend named Karen. Telling him what happened and realizing, 'You can upset people & hurt them by not knowing anything' NOT worth 'to say "
"Dear God, I'm sorry if I pissed off anyone in the black community."
I Just got off phone With Friend Karen.Told her what Happened, & Realized, You Can Piss Ppl Off, & Hurt Them By Not Knowing Everything That's "NOT Appropriate" To Say. I know Ppl Apologize When They're In a Jam, BUT🤚🏼TO GOD🙏🏼, IM TRULY SORRY If I Upset AnyOne In Blk Community I Know My❤️
