The word cowboy didnt have anything to do with black guys. There were pelnty of damn good balck cowboys then and now but theres no racial shit behind the name

[ArthurGephart]

One out of three black ? So then ranch owners by default had to be equal oppertunity employers .

Our term cowboy was first documented in the English language by 1725. A direct translation of the Spanish word vaquero, one who manages cattle from horseback, cowboy has come to mean the same thing — a man employed to take care of grazing cattle on a ranch (OED). Vaquero, of course, is rooted in the word vaca, or cow, and stems from the Latin vacca. Another English word for cowboy, buckaroo,

[stevekostner]

Buffalo Solider’s were cowboys in Nebraska! They were named by the native Indians

[SquirrilahFish]

As the descendent of pioneers, and cowboys that pioneered damn near everything west of the Mississippi, this is 🧢.
He is using the term "cowboy" very loosely, but somehow only applying that standard to black people.

[danielstephens]

Fake history is soooo interesting.🙄 Also, Apollo Creed was the champ, and Rocky was the underdog.

[lfenney]

[penguinp]

But Apollo was the champion of the world and Rocky always said Apollo was the greatest fighter ever !? Huh ? 🤔

You go to a rodeo, and you will see a lot of black people. I was surprised until I researched it.

[djhinrg]

No. Cowboys because huge amount of ranchers them herding cattle. So instead cattlemen, cowboy sounds better

It originated in Ireland in the 1700’s. Well documented. Not hard to look up. Also, Rocky was fashioned after Rocky Marciano, a real person. Now who’s stealing who’s history.

[tclower]
