I just gave an example of them making up an origin of the term "cowboy" being related to slavery with no supporting evidence.


Who is them? It’s a quote from a man who runs a museum? Did he make it up? Is it from passing down of verbal knowledge? Seems like if I was writing an article, going to the museum of black cowboys could have some interesting information. Just because his information is different from your “linguistic” history does not mean it’s race baiting trash.
