When blacks borrow from White culture they scream that theyβre not being accepted and fawned over.

Hundreds of replies educating me on the true history of the cowboy, but the below really stood out to highlighting the etymology of the word.
Thought this article was a meme. 1 in 4 cowboys was black.
That got me curious. Did a quick spot check with Montana. They probably went to a different state to fulfill their rancher dreams.
It's literally called melanesia and chuds are arguing they're not black.
Real shit.

Basketball-Americans did have a big impact on early country music. Lesley Riddle and Robert Johnson were very influential. I don't know shit about cowboys though.

There were black cowboys back in the day though I wouldn't exactly call them the first cowboys, that would most likely be the Mexicans (the Vaqueros), or that they "invented" country music, but I agree they were indeed very influential to it.

Cowboys did exist before Anglo-Saxons came to America, just not in the numbers they became famous for. They were mostly latinx.
