There is a story going around the web that a man killed himself because the main character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens is black. This story by News Watch 33 is a hoax. We called WCNC the NBC affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina to verify the story and they thought we were nuts.
The story is a great click-bait headline, but once you dig deeper you realize it is a more of a bad Onion article. The website in question is based out of India and has only been up and running for a few months.
Don’t get scammed by the internet!
