No, and this crap is getting old.
Sounds like a truly remarkable man.
I wish I could have met him.
Yes of course but he was also a trans gendered Muslim vegan atheist.
Oh, please. You have “black” men now in all the movies, no matter how stupidly they’re placed (Medieval scripts, Robin Hood, etc.), and in absolutely ALL commercials. If you have 4 kids eating breakfast, at least one of them is “black.” Three guys in a basement watching football, at least one of them is “black.”
So, what’s next, “black” Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone? I’m sick of all this “black” crap.
“After the 13th Amendment was passed in 1865, abolishing slavery, Bass, now formally a free man, returned to Arkansas, where he married and went on to have 11 children.”
“...in his journey from slave to one of the staunchest defenders of the very government that had failed to protect his freedom in the first place.”
The first statement gives lie the second.
Of course! And A-rabs invented algebra. And calculus. And the light bulb. And they were the first to walk on the moon. White people did nothing!
The Lone Ranger was a story.
Perhaps based on an amalgam of stories picked up over the years.
The character was originally believed to be inspired by Texas Ranger Captain John R. Hughes, to whom the book The Lone Star Ranger by Zane Grey was dedicated in 1915.[28] A debunked myth was the possible historical inspiration of Bass Reeves, the first black deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi River.[29] Other suggested inspirations were Zorro and Robin Hood.[30]
“he married ... a decade of freedom”
What? It’s either one or the other...
Eh, probably hundreds of men’s lives were similar to the Lone Ranger tale.
Bass Reeves was a badass lawman and a legend. He even arrested his own son IIRC. It would make a good movie with Denzel Washington as the marshal.
What wasn’t mentioned in the story was that the judge, “Hanging judge” Isaac C. Parker, is very famous in his own right. His federal court in Fort Smith, Arkansas had jurisdiction over the Oklahoma and Indian Territories.

The Clint Eastwood movie, “Hang ‘em High” (1968), is loosely based on the judge Parker/Bass Reeves tale.
Both judge Parker and Bass Reeves died of Bright’s (kidney) disease.
As was the true discoverer of the theory of relativity......
It says right here the Lone Ranger AND the Lone Disaranger were fictional characters. The Lone Ranger was better than not bad as a cowboy show.
I’ve heard that story too. I can only assume Tonto was a Chinaman.
Yes.
The first lone ranger hated white folk and kilt unknown numbers of non-blacks in retaliation for nothing except a myth that white people hated black people.
he was retarted as is are all blacks who hate whites because somebody told them they should.
Dumb and stupid retards. As dumb and stupid as a man can be.
I hate because I was told to hate. Don’t get no dumber that that.
Thanks for posting this...
If the stories of the exploits of Marshall Reeves are true, then he is worth reading about for what he did, and the simple fact that he was of African ancestry is but an incidental detail...
Sounds to me like he was an interesting man, a great American and a hero, no matter his skin color...A person’s “race” is of very little interest to me, other than as a detail to be noted and then move on...I’m far more interested in his character...
I’ll be looking for the book...Sounds like something I’d like to read...

I thought cultural appropriation was racism. But it seems that the entire anti-white movement is exactly that.
Every great white guy was really a black guy.
And neither was Hamilton.
