It was just a simple little video that people liked. Apparently, that’s not enough for liberals.
Via Newsbusters:
A few weeks ago, mom Candace Payne posted a video on her Youtube channel of her donning a Chewbacca face mask and laughing hysterically at the funny sound effects that the mask produced. The video quickly went viral and she received publicity and gifts from Disney, Facebook, and Kohl’s (where she bought mask.) Her whole family even received full scholarships to Southeastern University, a private Christian liberal arts college in Florida. All of these accolades didn’t come without their fair share of criticism of course. One in particular stood out as so ridiculous, you might think it’s satire (it’s not.) “What Chewbacca Mom’s rise to fame tells us about race in this country” from digital media blog The Daily Dot and cross-posted on MSN took this temporary fame entirely too seriously. The author of the article, Gillian Branstetter contends that the only reason “Chewbacca Mom” gained her fame was because…she’s white.
