I've read a couple history books about black cowboys, and one historian put the number at ~ 25-30% of all cowboys. It was either the Wild West or living under Reconstruction, and they chose the Wild West.

and yet some still claim there weren't a lot of them and tried to claim there like 1 or 2% black cowboy's

iirc, they were also referred to as cow"boys" since racists would tend to undermine their value as men.

now that i think about it the term cowboy did seem weird to me but this context now makes sense it's funny the term racist asshole love to demean black people is now the term they want to claim belongs only to them and there is another racist saying i didn't think much about it till someone pointed out the undertone of ''catching someone red handed'' used to refer to native americans
