RE: "Bubba, does every thing in history have to be a race issue?"
IC, with all due respect, Bubba offers a very legitimate and interesting point. Most of us have a pretty narrow-minded version of what a "cowboy" is/was. Many of us actually think cowboys were all male. I do agree with you that it's time we've gotten past our differences and that which divides us- but remembering and acknowledging certain truths in history is good. Afterall, there are certain things we hope never to forget- I would think. (as a perfect example- I post many personal photos showing myself, and I also reveal a lot about my personal life, but if I chose to be more secretive, how many would just "naturally" assume I was a white male?)
