Mexican caballeros (cowboys) taught American cowboys how to be cowboys. To this day there is a vast difference between a Mexican rodeo and and an American rodeo. I grew up in ranch country and from time to time I would encounter a black cowboy. I gave them vast respect like other cowboys because they are expert fighters and seemingly "made of steel".

The Buffalo Soldiers served the racist agenda of the US government. They were racist murderers, targeting Native Americans who were protecting their homes and families against invasion and aggression by multiple foreigners. The Buffalo Soldiers judged who they would kill and attack solely by their Native appearance. This was not the only path as other Black people chose to instead separate from the slave-holding Whites and join the Native people (see the Seminoles and many others in the US South). Ask yourself, if there was a Native American tribe that was documented as having targeted and murdered thousands of Black people in their homes, would you really think that those Native troops should be regarded as some of your modern-day heroes? This overly-simplistic binary (black/white) view of American history is so tired and ignores the millions of atrocities committed upon all of the people jammed, screwed and ignored in between.

Here it Comes. Think about this, the movie Glory was based on the letters that Col. Robert Goul wrote his parents. Are you aware that his training Sergent called the black regiment "dumb mexicans?" Also, Native Americans hild buffalos so sacred, if the so-called african americans were beating up on Natives, why would they give them the name buffalo soldiers? Why? You are the replacement. You come from Siberia travelling the land strait, You are not the original people of the Americas. Look at the movie, "Glory" you will here the Sgt. call the black men he is training" a bunch of dumb mexicans." You have to start reading ancient books. We changed the script

Kool video, I only have one issue. Saying how they got their name is “a theory or something that was pulled out of a rear end” You make the mistake by separating the two reasons. In fact the buffalo soldiers did encounter many different tribes of natives and more than a few called them Buffalo Soldiers due to their hair and how brave they fought. You have to know how Native Americans gave names to things - it was a mix of appearance, ones actions, or other spiritual reasons. There were Native American elders that had fought and attested to this. Please don’t allow your dislike of how they got their name to change something that was not disrespectful in the first place.

in the late 1800's, start 1860's the government wanted to push back the Natives, - they created armies to control and cause slow encroaching and choking of Native American land and people. By building a railroad through the west bringing the Europeans onto native land. This is why the Buffalo soldiers were tasked with taking care of the Euorpean colonial invasion-"settlements". They may very well likely had also been tasked with the slaughter of over 40 million buffalo because there was a war on the buffalo in efforts to starve the Native American population- hence Buffalo Soldiers. There were major efforts to ethnic cleanse the west of Native American populations.

I'm mixed, black and white and I have noticed the incredible sense of unity is lost on white people. I live in San Francisco and even in the Tenderloin, around drugs, poverty, etc. I feel much more love from my black people. It's horrible. I'm just waiting on all of us coming together, idk, I might be waiting awhile!

I wonder if these Black soldiers would regret fighting against Native Indians today. In retrospect, they might've joined them to fight against the White invasion of North America.

Go and look up the real history of the Moors in Europe. Many of the moors were african muslims, and they enslaved white christians from europe, had them in chains, dragged them across the mediterranean sea, treated them horrendously etc. And all of that BEFORE the trans-atlantic slave trade. Black people are not victims anymore than anybody else and have had their share of oppressing others and their own also.

Cj Hooray! My grandfather was a Buffalo Soldier.He helped train the regiment of Buffalo Soldiers in Brownsville,Texas before it was all shot up due to a racial uproar; there was an article about this in EBONY magazine back in the 1970's. My grandfather even helped fight the Kkk & got them pretty much under control right here in South Texas.

An important fact about the buffalo soldier is the reason these brave men acquired the name. The Native Americans considered their physical appearance. To the "Indians," they bore a physical similarity to the buffalo; i.e. close curly hair and broad noses coupled with courageous behavior. Of course, the p.c. agenda will distort everything. Let's not forget the "director" who wrote brought the film "Glory."

What are you talkin about PC. Glory was written by a white boy oh I know. Especially that BULLSHIT part about white soldiers going off to fight to free black people. Besides a few of the New England regiments. The majority of the white soldiers in the Union Army when it came down to black people range from indifference to outright hatred. Especially the regiments from the Midwest and those that had a lot of Irish soldiers in their regiments.
