Black cowboys were common in the Old West.

McCarthyism still seems to be extremely strict over there. I've known about the 'black' cowboys for years. It wasn't a big secret elsewhere.

didn't anybody see Blazing Saddles?

I think Guno is from some Ethnic enclave in NYC and doesn't really know much about America.

He lives in Hicktown, North Carolina, supposedly.

This article was written in 2013 and talks about Bass Reeves.

Bass is what I would refer to as a true legend , for his day and age he was a amazing man without question. Clearly a man of high caliber and ethics .
To me bass was a true old west hero and perhaps the most amazing law man to walk the old west.

Some say bass was the model for the lone ranger as he always traveled with a Indian in the Indian territory's , often used a disguise and was one tough hombre and a excellent shot.
Also bass preferred to bring his man in Alive . Bass couldn't even read but always got the right man on warrants . He even arrested his own son.

Guano thinks others don't know history , it appears we republicans can teach him about it.

Don't leftists control Hollyweird?

Why aren't they rushing a biopic into production?

Are they...racists?

When we think about the Wild West, most of us probably think about the scenes we've seen depicted in a John Wayne film. There's a noticeable lack of diversity in nearly every western film from the ranchers and cowhands to the villains. But in the real Old West, it's estimated that a quarter of all cowboys were African-American. Just check the history books.

The truth is, black people were just as present in Wild West Shows and skilled with roping steer as any white cowboy, so it's unfortunate that there is such a lack of representation in pop culture. One of the few depictions of black cowboys in Hollywood was in the miniseries, Lonesome Dove. Danny Glover's character, Deets, was based on a real cowboy named Bose Ikard. Ikard joined Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving on their historic cattle drive back in the late 1800s.

Country singer-songwriter Dom Flemons' album Black Cowboys shares songs and stories of African-American cowboys.

"You have people coming from slavery and emancipation and then, through their hard work and perseverance, in spite of the obstacles they had, they were able to create a new social order that still influences us to this day," Flemons told NPR in 2019.

It's funny how in an era when everything was whitewashed by Hollywood, leftists want to pretend that only the western genre fell victim to the habit, and gave audiences a particular misconception.
