The cowboy, often seen as a symbol of the American West, actually has its roots in Spanish colonization. It wasn’t until the late 19th century, however, during the massive expansion of the cattle industry, that the iconic cowboy era truly began to shape but Did you know that one in four cowboys were Black?

The Global Colonial Matrix Systems were getting rid of the Original Melanated black histories of the UK & Europe like sheep & cattle & shipping them off as Slaves to the Colonies of America as to why Melanated black history is deleted.

They were called Bull Men, because Cowboy was an insulting term. They were also not called black , as we are not Black. NEVER were. Everyone knew us as Indians. And don't even try to slam us with African American. Indigenous Niiji of North America. Period.

Thank you for making a serious effort at objectivity. You don't try to make white people seem bad which has become a concerning problem today. Black cowboys are awesome. I wish there were more of them in old movies. it was callous to ignore black cowboys but whitewashing doesn't seem like a good characterization. I enjoyed your video a lot.

The first cowboys were Indian. Dark and Swarthy Indians. Do your geneology in 1925 all Indians who didn’t live on reservations were reclassified as Negro.

Black People did their own God damned part in making it where We out West didn't matter and don't matter today. So stop backing away from Black People and their city worshipping, ghetto BS. For 56 F'n years I seen onesies and twosoes every few years just like this program. Our history in the West isn't forgotten, it's just just not on the front burner of what Black foke's what to occupy their concerns about.

Black slaves were released from slavery in the year 1868 and many blacks went north looking for work and some went west finding cowboy jobs. Yes there were black slaves in texas as cowhands but in mexico texas it was against the law to own slaves in mexico texas. 10000 black slaves ran into mexico to escape slavery many white immigrants were furious demanding their slaves back but mexico said no. Causing the Mexican and american war. Look at the video of shocking history of the redbones in texas will give more information. It is told by a black mexican woman who had letters from her black great grandfather of those times in texas in 1830.
