Hard times for sure

Hard times definitely but the more videos I watch and the more I research the more I'm discovering that yeah it was bad for Black people back then but not as bad as they told us. Look at Bass for example and that proves that once they proved themselves and weren't going to take $h1t from anyone, they got respect that no one could take from them and probably wouldn't even think of trying. When I say it wasn't that bad I'm not dismissing slavery or racism but the more I look into it the more Black people I find from back then who had major important positions and high up jobs like Bass. They were cowboys and lawmen just like anyone else but because of what they went through to get those positions no one was going to disrespect or challenge them and everyone knew they were the toughest. Except for criminals who challenge everyone regardless of anything I highly doubt anyone disrespected them at least to their faces. And I want to know why these Black Americans were never taught about in schools when we were growing up. Slavery yes and it should but they never taught us about The Buffalo Soldiers, the Black Confederates and land owners who also owned slaves themselves or the Black lawmen. They glance over the Buffalo Soldiers and the underground railroad but concentrate on the civil war and all the white soldiers. I think if they taught use about all these people when I was in school we'd be better off and have a better understanding of our country than we do. How do you leave these Americans out of American history? Now we have a generation or 2 or 3 agreeing with Binladen. Teaching us about people like Bass may have actually given the Black community a better chance at success because if he isn't a man everyone can look up to I don't know who is. I don't understand how everyone has the story all wrong about Uncle Tom who actually helped slaves escape the South. Everyone calls you a Tom inferring your a sellout when the man and his cabin or house was a stopping point to get supplies and directions for routes to avoid capture. I don't know..... That doesn't sound like a sellout to me.

@@edreynolds8721 You bring up a lot of good points, personally I would have been fascinated with Bass Reeves history. Yes, he was a badass with his background and his 3000 arrests. Going back to shows like Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Wanted Dead or Alive, etc. Reeves would have been an icon in the western films a long time ago. On top of that a real-life character. The good news is that he is deservedly being acknowledged and heralded. Thanks for the reply.

@bobbrown9158 hey, I'm not "woke" but I call it like it is and they shouldn't have been left out of history class. Like I said before, it may have given the Black community a better outlook on everything and certainly gave them better role models. We have to look at the good and bad in every aspect of life but when we're all only taught about people like Free Way Ricky Ross and I'm not talking about the rapper and Pablo Escobar and all the other cartels it influences everyone's culture but specific cultures in particular which I think contributed to the current state we're in. Who's the only Black America's we learned about in school? MLK and Uncle Tom and they got the whole story or taught us the whole story wrong on Tom. They never taught us about any other Black Americans good or bad and Bass would've been a great American to learn about and look up to. Come to think of it, did they teach us about any American lawmen? I don't remember any of them being talked about at all. The only reason I know about Wyatt Earp is from the movies they made. They also never teach us about the prison camps both sides had during the Civil War. I've only seen one movie on that subject as well. Andersonville, and everyone should watch that movie. We also shouldn't be removing any statutes of anyone because just like Andersonville they show, in a way at least the savagery of man and how brother will turn against brother even when they're on the same side in a prison camp. Sorry for rambling on but I think these things need to be said and everyone should learn our complete history good and bad.

@@edreynolds8721 Agree completely, up until the movie Glory, I didn't even know there were Black Union soldiers. However, history over time exposes the truth.

Many thanks, sir

Right on

Everyone living in america is an imigrant somewhere so yeah kind of crazy to be fair

He definitely is a more important figure of the West than many that are much better known.

But the internet hasn't been around for centuries and when you got a great storyteller like we do right here a lot of people are going to find out

Right on

My pleasure

I'm trying

Nah HOKC is the best Western channel. This guy has to jump on the race card and we are all beyond bored with this nonsense. So now the Lone Ranger was black? 🤡🌍

@@fryertuck6496 HOKC is awesome! But the rest of your comment tells me that you didn't listen to what I said. At what point did I ever state that the Lone Ranger was black?

thats what i'm trying to say, josh is not just a smart exciting story teller of facts by the way, he does his research, but he cracks me up and stops me in my tracks, its like getting hit with a stun gun, you have to laugh - no choice he's funnier than a mu..... fu..er.

Glad you enjoyed it

@@WildWestExtravaganza Hahahaha, perfect !!

They were tasty

@@WildWestExtravaganza I bet. You can't find green tomatoes here in Nebraska. I actually had some fool try telling me that's not a thing. I said it was as well as tomato gravy and tomato sandwiches. Personally I always love it when you get one with just a little bit of red so it's sweet and soft. May all your videos be just as tasty as those fried green tomatoes.

The sweet women that work at the museum are just the nicest people they are super welcoming and kind it would be pretty hard to engage them into a heated debate but had they I doubt they could have won it but their intentions I think are pure and rooted in a love of the little town they call home. It's worth stopping in just to met the sweet little women

I gotta get me some of that alligator blood

i was thinking something similar about myself just now, a couple min be4 i seen your response. Iv'e been having good productive days but on the weekend i spend waaaay to much time beating myself up about the past, or regretting - no good cause that creates depression, trying to look too far ahead and in preparation for the future creates anxiety. Live in the NOW and y'all soon find peace! so thats why i'm grabbing my dog and heading out to get some shit done! period.@@WildWestExtravaganza

I hear ya. What's in the past is done. I beat myself up a lot too but we're all our own worst critics. You're making it happen!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I appreciate that!

Thanks

Thank you for your reply your one of the who has oh ya please keep keeping it real all love

On part 2 I go over the whole lone ranger thing. Turns out it's not true.

@WildWestExtravaganza i never thought so the lone ranger is such a sanitized fancy version.. i'm a wild west super fan! there must be authenticity! it's a shame my passion can't be filled because great story telling is miscast by ego driven opportunistic actors
