Slightly off-topic, but this movie BOMBED at the box office. Probably because Disney gave Depp the top billing and stuck an unknown into the lead.

Yes they were all Black. Daniel Boone, Wyatt Earp, Matt Dillon, The Rifleman, The Cartwrights, the list just goes on and on.

What a great story. I think it would be great that the Lone Ranger was actually a black man and former slave. It says a lot about a country that is supposed to be so racist and still have an iconic hero that is black.

We, America, went through some difficult times societally that resulted in a growth in racism in the first half to the 20th century. We have come a long way since then. I think this story needs to be told and accepted.

Nothing against Reeves, but this is a crock. Someone should learn to write their own stories without infringing on others already successful ones.

Interesting Story. The man’s life story should be taught to every young black. They need a true hero instead of Thug Criminal cRappers.

I thought the Lone Ranger was Chinese. His real name, “Mi Shu Tru”.

Only heard stories like this touched on with History Channel shows about the old west. Was amazed that some “Buffalo Soldiers” became U.S. Marshals after they served their Army commitments. Web searches give little on that. Story is not well reported but I’m not sure if it’s a lack of real documentation or it’s not politically correct.
