I think Christian Walker is canny. He understands that racist America loves Black people who play to their assumptions about Black people. He's like Diamond & Silk, playing a fool so he will be admired by the GOP, the overly dramatic fool who fights for white supremacy.

Always remember, Black excellence terrifies white nationalists. Black foolishness endears itself because it props up the belief their privilege is the result of merit, not structural racism. Christian Walker reaffirms the idea of white supremacy and meritocracy with every word

Of course, Christian Walker harms Black people with his performance of a dumb, entitled, lazy Black man living off his father's work and calling it his own, but then, he's selfish and doesn't care about anything or anyone outside his me/mine bubble.

I admit it's possible Christian Walker is as ignorant and entitled as he presents himself & it's not a performance, but he's managed to parlay his performative ignorance into a following. To me, that suggests he knows exactly what he is doing, playing the fool for white supremacy
