Well, I guess now they know how the rest of us feel when our cultural events are bastardized in the name of "multiculturalism".

What goes around comes around...

"Cowboy Carnivale"......good Lord, I'd be willing to picket just based on the name!

Only in California would the concept of rodeo get mixed up with 'carnival' with an e on the end.

Just doing things "right" the way people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton want them.

Speaking of Jesse and Al. Hopefully, the same thing will not happen to the "Black Poverty Pimp Limo Riding & Nonprofit Money Burning Rodeo" they attend constantly.

[Clara Lou]

Well said.

But will black horses and steers(Angus) still be allowed or must they be multicultural also? Inquiring minds want to know.

[wardaddy]

That's why they have Brangus dummy!

Cowboy Carnivale???

Save a seat, oops, place for Solomon Barney Fag and his date, Maxine "The Brain" Waters.

Will most of the contestants be from SF?

Respectfully, these cowboys are more of the J.C. Watts kind and are a true bunch of Good Ol Boys. The rodeo event "Bulldogging" was started by a black cowboy and is one of the most dangerous. Fred Whitfield, a black cowboy, is now leading in the Calgary Stampede Rodeo in Canada. It's no sissy Rodeo, either. The Calgary is to rodeo what Daytona is to Nascar.

What has happened is this multiculturalism has led to "Ministers of Culture", and "Culture Czars". It's a tragedy for everybody.

Good point. Maybe those were two black cowboys I overheard on a train in New York a few years ago. One of them was complaining about the number of car thefts in his neighborhood, and the other responded by saying that "that kind of sh!t is gonna go on until they lynch these savages."

True story.

[vetvetdoug]

Amen....

"multiculturalism event that some black cowboys say is watering down their culture"

No sht Sherlock!

Multiculturalism was invented to destroy our culture as Americans. Another effort to destroy America and, it's working so well along with, the removal of morality and common experiences which are so important to our national identity.

The California State Fair isn't.

[Whey]

I live in rural Texas. The black cowboys and their families that live here are good people. They are skilled at their profession and they KNOW they have a heritage to be proud of. I hate to see men like these disappear. They have a lot to teach the rest of the country about "livin' right".

Cowboy Carnivale

Sounds gay.
