I hate how he became a meme for badassery.

He was a bible thumping bigoted racist piece of shit. Good riddance.

They were jokes. Always just jokes.

Even 20 years ago I understood it was always at his expense. He’s such a self-aggrandizing, self-proclaimed “badass” and the jokes were always riffing off of that. It’s like the same way you’d make fun of Steven Seagal.

I mean, Walker, Texas Ranger was a show made by Chuck, about Chuck, where the day gets saved every time because the bad guys are no match for Chuck. The whole point of the jokes is that nobody was taking this guy seriously but him.

I remember watching that show thinking “why does the drunk dealer skater punk murderer know kung fu.?”
