Herb Jeffries a.k.a. "The Bronze Buckaroo".
Agree, IMPRESSIVE people - and they were straight!
marsupials react by burning, looting, destroying things,- Liberals everywhere call for dismantling statues dedicated to big cats, demand that anything with a cat name in it be removed immediately-

There is a very large portrait of him in every Longhorn Steakhouse (chain)
I met a distant relative of his - great conversation!

Out of curiosity, what exactly is a “rich heritage”? I’ve always found that phrase to be weird.
I’m all for it and would go see one of their rodeos. I think it would be big fun as long as it wasn’t turned into a BLM event.
BTTT
BTTT!
I hope none of the clowns wore an Obama mask.
I believe that many of the Florida “Crackers” i.e. Cowboys that used the crack of a whip as a herding device, were Black. I may be wrong, but it won’t be the first time.
25 per cent of cowboys were African American”
This claim became popular recently but I’ve never seen any research to back it up. There weren’t many blacks total in the west (census data) so I don’t know how they break out “cowboys”. Anybody know where this idea is from?
It’s not a Rodeo. It’s a bro’deo. BLM
There are quite a few black cowboys today. Some compete in the regular rodeos and the black rodeos. There is an Indian circuit also. The black rodeos do let whites compete. My son used to team rope with a bunch of black guys and rodeoed with them. Folks that live the western life style tend to be fairly conservative.
To the BLM crowd, and the rest of the anarchists, no history is important, and the black men who participated in the past, and those that still participate in the rodeo, cattle herding, etc., are sell-outs, Uncle Toms, and not really black. It makes me sick that many blacks don't know or care about their own history, but are ready to destroy everybody else's history.
The photographer claims it’s been ignored - I guess he hasn’t heard of the cowboy museum in OKC.
They spent Juneteenth showing pics from their vast collection.

What beautiful pix of these skilled and storied Americans!
I must say, cowboy gear suits them well. Quite a sharp contrast to the hoodie and droopy pants look of the city cousins.
My heroes have always been cowboys. Married one!
Hubby’s hero is Fred Whitfield.
So blacks have to be celebrated every day, all the time now?
