If we're going to talk cowboy culture:


The Lesser-Known History of African-American Cowboys
One in four cowboys was black. So why aren’t they more present in popular culture?

In his 1907 autobiography, cowboy Nat Love recounts stories from his life on the frontier so cliché, they read like scenes from a John Wayne film. He describes Dodge City, Kansas, a town smattered with the romanticized institutions of the frontier: “a great many saloons, dance halls, and gambling houses, and very little of anything else.” He moved massive herds of cattle from one grazing area to another, drank with Billy the Kid and participated in shootouts with Native peoples defending their land on the trails. And when not, as he put it, “engaged in fighting Indians,” he amused himself with activities like “dare-devil riding, shooting, roping and such sports.”


Though Love’s tales from the frontier seem typical for a 19th-century cowboy, they come from a source rarely associated with the Wild West. Love was African-American, born into slavery near Nashville, Tennessee.



Few images embody the spirit of the American West as well as the trailblazing, sharpshooting, horseback-riding cowboy of American lore. And though African-American cowboys don’t play a part in the popular narrative, historians estimate that one in four cowboys were black.

I don’t know much about these 2 cultures in LA outside of gang hanging but some advice To the black folks on here.


Taking style from another group doesn’t diminish your influence around the world. I notice the reason why people get upset in these convos is because they don’t understand this concept.

At the end of the day if you grow up with another ethnic group you are going take some stuff from their culture. This is literally what diversity is.

 

[Greenhornet]

imagine thinking you are copying a group when they base their style around you

false . That shyt started when the tattoo trend started around 2008-2009 . When did Ink Master and LA Ink etc all those shows start poppin up on TV?

So basically you’re saying the whole US copied that style?

You can’t bring up gang tats as proof cuz nikkas been doing that since the 70s and 80s . What else LA nikkas gone get tatted?
