Bass Reeves was an incredible man and has nothing to do with your other bugaboos. Why post stupid crap?

Reeves had the same kind of fearlessness and courage as Hughes.

White heroes damage efforts to portray Whites as villains.

Of course he was. So was George Washington, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford.

Hitler was black, too and consequently spent hours each day beating the crap out if himself due to self loathing.

Parker actually didn’t sentence many men to death and even fewer were hanged.

I don’t see any resemblance between CE’s character in Hang ‘em High other than being heroic. I think I will watch it tonight.

The ambush of Texas Ranger Captain Frank Jones and Hughes’ long hunt for the killers also support this theory. Hughes also told relatives that he believed he was the inspiration for the Lone Ranger character.

The Lone Ranger was not Bass Reeves! The Lone Ranger was a FICTIONAL character. Man, talk about stupid. But by all means, keep saying white men of accomplishment, even if they are fictiional characters, are black, or brown, or whatever your favorite color of the day is.

Black history is fascinating and shows how the Blacks were achieving great things on their own. Then came the Welfare State and the progress stopped to be replaced by slavish Democrat voting, the dole, illegitimacy and crime.

I think you are thinking of gay. Warren Harding is supposed to be the black one.

There is a good biography on the History Channel part of a series about lawmen and outlaws.

Great Story. Why don’t those Hollywood Jerk Offs make a Movie about this guy instead of the new “Black Panther” crappola?
