I actually knew exactly who she was and had read up on her before :skip:

That Lakeith shyt is just as disrespectful cause there were so many legendary black outlaws who existed.

But at the same time Cherokee Bill was half black himself. They def could’ve went the extra mile and casted a Black Native actor, but Hollywood only hires the same handful of black actors sohh.
I think it’s Rufus Buck who was half black/half Native.
Cherokee Bill’s mother was actually a Cherokee freedman (of mixed descent).
His dad was a Buffalo Soldier but white enough to enlist as a white man with the Union after escaping the Confederacy.
:yeshrug:
Like ya said... coulda went with easily identifiable black outlaws.

The one role they could've put Cynthia erivo in and they didn't lmao
She’s a foot too short. :mjlol:
Mary was 6 feet tall 200 lbs when the average white American male (per Union infantry reports) was 5’6” 140.
(She was also in her 60s when she earned her name and status)
Don’t make it worse.

Old thread but,


Race-swapping folks to be black is just as egregious because it's expected of black people to defend that lazy shyt.

Bringing awareness to a person of historical importance is one thing. Bringing awareness to them in a fashion that is unfavorable to said person, living or dead, is another.

Cherokee Bill was black..his mom was a Afro-Indian and his father was Afro-European

On June 27, 1889, Ellen married William Lynch in Kansas City, Missouri. Lynch was a private in K Troop, 9th U. S. Cavalry. He had served during an earlier enlistment with H Troop, 10th U. S. Cavalry.

William Lynch was born in Waynesville, Ohio, approximately 30 miles northeast of Cincinnati.
