Not hard, they made the racist aspects of his personality disgusting, then redeem him by having him sacrifice himself to save a don't need no man black woman

the world is black and white
maybe learn to understand human behavior before casting verdicts

It's okay because their dad hit them.

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE MERLE ANYMORE THESE DAYS CAUSE EVERYONE IS SENSIBLE SJW NORMIE KEK THESE DAYS

"Self sacrifice" vs "feelings hurt by words" is a massive abyss of sympathy

he has charisma, is decently handsome, is tall, and was given free range to be a creepy fuck with it. Its really impressive honestly, i miss the early seasons so much. Great fucking show

Pretty much all non-whites are racist as fucking hell (and not just against whites) and there are plenty of sympathetic non-white characters.

this
dude is pretty humble for all he's gotten and still doing, not to mention a good character. he can be a badass redneck racist or a blue alien.

Because he said racist things but he never did racist things ya get me.
I hang around verbal racists all the time and not one of them would noose me because i'm black

Saying something and doing something IS completely different. All murderers are mentally ill if you didn't know.

No, I don't "get you"

And few murderers are mentally ill. Don't try some bullshit like "well you have to be crazy to be okay with killing someone hurrr", that's just rhetoric.

You do HAVE to be crazy, it's not killing in self defence which is justified on the situation, its killing because someone made you angry which makes that person a mentally ill retard.

If i kept calling you a baby dick white boi who can't get laid because you're a loser nerd and you stabbed me, that makes you definitely a low IQ mentally invalid retard, ya feel me

Because they actually developed his character.

i get you

because micheal rooker is one of the most underrated actors ever.

Not if I could get away with it

Racist idiots are a diamond dozen, they should all be rounded up into camps. It's the 21st century, we need to be more tolerant.

Nigger

>Diamond Dozen

It was made before Drump became president. They didn't know the country would actually be run by a racist nazi.

Because it's AMC.

This! Can't believe people actually voted for him (or maybe they didn't... Hint: Russians!)

Glad to live in a sensible 1st world country like Canada with a real leader.

...

Because deep down inside,everyone hates black people

Mental illness is an arbitrary classification based on how neurodivergent you are on a sliding spectrum of factors.

NIGGERS AND DEMOCRATS

Because him being racist was the least of his problems. The racism and off-color comments from Merle were symptoms of an even bigger flaw; namely his loose morals stemming from an abusive parent.
