This segment is a good example why history shouldn't be taken out of school.
They just don't like that history showcases their evil ways and I know deep down inside they know they were demonic and some still are! Some! 😉
The truth is coming out and those caucasian devils are being exposed for who they are.
moms of liberty, this is where they should be educated 1st, then put the books of black history back into the classroom and libraries so that their children will not be ignorant like them
@@DCnativeArtist Well said 👏🏾
Amen, brother
Black people invented Country music and Beyonce is a native Texan. Let the Karens and Kevins get mad while black people continue to thrive, succeed and achieve.
Black people invented All misic
💯💯💯💯🎯
But, some argue that 'Black" people were already here. If that was the case, what was these indigenous "Black" people's music like? Where can we see those musical sensibilities in the music we call "Black Music"?
I don’t like Emenim, but they don’t say nothin about him
@@siriuslyspeaking9720Never heard that argument! Maybe if I go back for a Doctorates that’ll be covered!
That’s why black history is important to be taught because we’re also apart of AMERICAN HISTORY! You can’t try to erase us
They will always try
They're already doing that in Florida, now Alabama!
It is even more important that culture and how it has changed over time, is passed down to subsequent generations. Today many young generations talk as if the decline of Black communities, and so us as a people, began with the crack epidemic. We have become more fractured over time. KRS-0ne said a few years ago at least, that Hip-Hop should be considered an ethnicity within itself. Hip-Hop thinks of itself as a culture, so why have we not seen widespread and long ongoing discussions and debates over this comment, like the non-sensible issues (from my perspective) of who we are as a people and what we should be called, and our use of the n-word? How could a comment like this, not be dealt with during their celebration of the 50TH anniversary last year? How will future generations know about how things like this transpired, and impacted the world they live in?

They upset because they thought that John Wayne was the real cowboy...
😂😂😂
🤭😂😂😂
😂😂😂
You right!..😅
I'll roll with the swag of John Wayne all day everyday. 🤠
The ignorance is due to the lack of accurate history lessons.
Thank you.
Exactly! Also getting our information from our own elders; if possible. If not we must do our Own research
Yep! You are right on point!👈🏽
yes don't attack -teach, teach , teach!!
@@psm23formeethel17 Who attacking?
She can carry the flag because this is our country. Don’t let the other side say we aren’t American. Black folks have just as much ownership of this country as any other group.
Facts
More so. Love this comment
🤎👍🏼🫶🏽
Facts. We built this country.
Probably more tbh
As A native Texan who happens to be black I know my history. Come on people do you really believe that there were no black cowboys out West? We have always been a part of the American experience. We exist Everywhere!!
I was in downtown Moscow a decade ago and we are there too! There is NOWHERE black folks aren’t!
Exactly.
Exactly, they need to travel to Texas where we, I included have and ride horses. We and I have acres to keep them on and live that life. There are generations of us black people here in Texas that keep handing this lifestyle down to our children.
Right. There are black cowboys in Louisiana as well. 🇺🇸🇬🇭 Wht people are mad that they didn’t originate hardly anything, and stole almost everything from blk people, and made it their own! Smh 🤦🏾♀️
Well said!
*Southern Blacks own cattle, land, ride horses, milk cows, etc. So, to blacks from the "Country" parts of the South, this isn't weird. LOL*
We have Black ranchers, farmers on the Western Slope as well.
Yes!!!. I’m from Houston and still trail ride and go to black rodeos in Liberty Texas. Dang near all my people own cattle, horses, etc. I don’t know what these folks talking about.
Yeah, fam… My mom is from Louisiana and my grandfather and uncle’s epitomize what you just described… I saw some Buffalo Soldier MC OGs in the video and those dudes always rock cowboy gear… the ignorance in this country is nerve racking… it was always frustrating… then it got dumb after Trump (and those like him) was elected… now it’s just f***ing stupid… you can easily fact check ANYTHING on the internet… 🤷🏾♂️
Exactly I’m from South Carolina so this is the way of life but understand most people don’t realize that majority of black Americans live in the south they think most black Americans live in New York City or Miami or Chicago. The great migration story was overblown. Most of us never left the south.
@@javionriley8739 The migration to the North wasn't a bad thing. So, black people are needed in each part of the country. The North offered more opportunity and they fled the slave patrols and racism at the time.
Black folks stop fighting and get educated about our history
Amen
Real talk
Yes
We go to the rodeos all the time!!? I am appalled that Americans are blasting an American citizen who is waving our flag. My fellow citizens who are criticizing this need therapy.
@patriciasprings5769 Some of our people like Dr. Carr are so bitter about white supremacy and white racism that it has driven them mad. We black people are Americans too. We have a right to wave the American flag just as much as any other American.
@@wearabodon’t you dare make this about Dr. Carr, calling him bitter. That’s some real cheap gaslighting bullshit! White people are upset and this is further proof of how they try to illegitimize Black American citizenship.
White Americans are in denial about American culture.
@@wearabo9
Beyonce is very FAKE, Unauthentic and is using Country Music as a Gimmick to sell Albums. *K. Michelle moved to Country Music FIRST* and Collaborated with Justin Champagne on "Country Love Song". *She NEVER Received this Backlash because she was Authentic* when she made the *announcement back in 2020 which prompted Beyonce to put out an Album* now. K. Michelle worked on it, talked about her Inspiration, was Relatable, Released the Music and _Did Not call herself a Cowboy._ *K Michelle was Real about it. Unlike Beyonce who put on a show, acting weird at the Grammys wearing a Big Cowboy Hat like a Costume,* doing a *Superbowl Commercial* about it and *Calling herself a Cowboy.*
Being from the Ghetto in Texas doesn't automatically make you a Cowboy, Cowgirl or Country Artist. No one has to accept it except her Fans.
...
Black folks invented Country music. Country music came from Blues music.
What did they NOT invent?
Still doesn't make Beyonce a Cowboy, Cowgirl or Country Singer. This is a Gimmick to sell Albums.
@@TheBrownIsland Actually it makes Beyonce the best damn country singer in the world. Country music came from Blues music and it was created by black folks. Beyonce holds the top positions in the country music charts period.
WE WUZ COWBOyZ right?
@@TheBrownIslandOh, come the hell on. White people have had a monopoly on country music for far too damn long, which is ridiculous because they're not the only people who contributed to creating it. And not all of these famous country singers were from the South themselves, either. A number of pop singers have been on and off the country charts with hit singles. This tired-ass, bullshit, outdated as hell racist notion that country music is only for white people has got to go.
This is why black history is so important. This is rediculous
This is WHY the Correct African-American History needs to be taught and the Correct History of this country. ⚫️ 😊
Thank you.
You really think they care about teaching the truth?😢🤦🏽♀️
The sad truth about this is that black city folk need to open their minds on their own history.
It’s slowly happening, thanks to social media and easier access to information and research. I’m city born and raised and within the last 15 yrs or so have learned so much, even from those a lot younger than me.
My father was in rodeo, and so were my siblings. They won trophies and first place almost every time and white people were med then.
They hate to see us thru r cuz they know we always outshine them 😂
🫡🫡🫡
They would not exist if it wasn't for us.
If only we knew.
🤎🫶🏽👍🏼👍🏼
@@katrinahtims6687I mean we exist because we traveled north where there was much less sun. I agree African people are the original people and that’s the motherland of all humanity. We are 1. 💜
What's wrong with her wearing the colors of our nation black people built this Nation so therefore we can represent our nation
Fr. No one complains when Black Americans win all the gold medals and wear the flag! It belongs to us. It's our flag!
Right.
EXACTLY!!
She’s a demon that’s what wring
White people always been this way they just being extra in a trump era and you got black people wanting to vote maga4😮
I’m excited because I’m being educated, a part of history that was not taught in school!!! We need to educate our children about the history of the African American Cowboy.
🤎👍🏼🫶🏽
Most Definitely.
I believe they were some of the first ‘Rangers’ out west as well
*If you Seek it you'll be very knowledging about Our History.* Since the time I was in Junior High School and especially after High School *I've known about Black Cowboys and where Country Music comes from.* That's because I didn't stick to a predominantly 'Ghetto Black way of thinking', Or 'Only Rap/HipHop Music' and was 'Not Comfortable with Ignorance' and Definitely 'DID NOT Allow people to try to Gate-keep' me on what Black is supposed to be _(Hood)._ *I love to seek knowledge. I grew up on Country Music and delved deep into that History* as well. *Today's Black Country Music Artists which includes Black Females who were not getting as High of Recognition* as their white counterparts *Opened up this Topic on the Internet, Talk Shows and Social Media A LOT over the past two Decades.* But sadly Most black people of a Certain Background only Pay attention to Black History after something GOES VIRAL.
*That's the sad part because ALL OF THE INFORMATION, EDUCATION is out there and at our Fingertips. It's just a matter of Interest for people.* Then they try to Blame someone else when they don't know.
...
Grew up in New Mexico learning about Bass Reeves, Bill Pickett, and Buffalo Soldiers. 🖤
I appreciate the ladies owning their work and the history of 40 years ❤️🖤💚
Let’s not forget Black country came from Black gospel periodt!!
54 yrs old black man, my uncle was breaking horses since the 60’s, read 1 million dollar slave, blacks were the best jockeys in the 1920’s before being forced out with a lot of politics and red tape making it harder for them to ride
My hat's off to you my uncle was breaking horses biting their ears to, break them I'm 62 yoa!!
The Black Rodeo comes to Indiana every year.
I grew up in Indianapolis and never knew that.
@@portiahutchinson1702 They have a few Black rodeos yearly.
Chicago too
Unfortunately, it's everywhere in the U.S. animals are terrified and abused and we all should rethink what is a morally acceptable form of entertainment.
@@lhut5622You're commenting on the wrong video, this video is about the history of Black cowboys and the bigotry displayed towards Beyonce for singing whatever the hell she wants. This video is educating Blacks and Whites that this isnt our first rodeo, literally.
I'm from Oakland. We saw the Black Cowboy parade every year! BEST of times! 🐄 🤠🎉
From SF and the Black Circus!
I'm from Oakland and married to a black cowboy from Louisiana own horse and proudly rides in the black cowboy parade.
I’m so sorry I missed these events when I was living in the Bay Area!
My dad is in his 60s, moved from Louisiana to Northern California as a kid and competed in rodeos there, this was in the 60's and 70's.
I love how Bey is so subliminal but the right people understand what she's trying to say.
Very subliminal. I listened to the whole album and cried.......She is representing the Black South through those songs. Even if we grew up on Hee Haw and Dolly P as well
We have Black Cowboys right here in Compton, CA.
We have them here in Chicago too. 😊
You R NOT Lying About Compton and Bakerfield,CA Europeans R Behind ...And Yes They "Flordia" Want US Erase ❤❤❤❤ .Flordias Governor Is Just 1 of Many OOOOH.YES JUNETEENTH DAY JUNE 19,2024 IN MILWAUKEE ,WI BLACK COWBOYS AN BLACK COWGIRLS START OFF THIS CELEBRATIONS JUNETEENTH ❤

I'm a 71yr 0ld Black woman, thanks for the knowledge Roland ❤
❤ I've been going to the Bill Pickett rodeo for years. Tons of black cowboys and girls
My brother invited many of his siblings to go to I think it was the Bill Pickett Rodeo in Atlanta back in the 1990's. I remember it was the 1990's because it was not long after Joe Carter had hit a walk-off home run in the World Series to beat the Phillies. I remember that Joe's sister was in that rodeo that year. That was the first and last time I have been to a rodeo.
We have black rodeos in Houston,tx all the time. It’s not just a certain time of the year. And I’m talking about black rodeos
My grandmother had to get out of Texas for a KO slapping the wrong white woman when she was young 🤷🏽♀️👍🏽 . Them folks was looking to lynch her. She got away hiding in the fields for 3 days & someone helped to get her out the state. She definitely passed on those rural values & history from Texas. The rodeo was one of her favorite family event. The whole family was there.
Shouts out to Black Hertiage Committee, HLSR!
🤎👍🏼🫶🏽
Thanks to Roland and his panel for this Hisrory Lesson.
Why she gotta ride, ride the White horse 🎵
Look up StageCoach Mary in Montana.
We had black cowboys and cowboys at the Juneteenth Parades in my town every year!
A black woman riding a compliant white horse….
❤
Now their racism among the horses smh
@@jdwrcc😂
What? Riding white horses is a problem? Lol"" definitely an ignorant comment.
I have to say thank you for this. I'm 57 and grew up in the South Bronx of NY watching westerns (both movies and tv shows) and when I was a kid my mom took me to a Black Cowboy Rodeo, and I was amazed I remember receiving a book showing past Black Cowboys and for years I looked forward to it. During the years when we couldn't afford to go I'd break out that book a few times a year just because. So thank you again for showing this.
For those out there who criticize Beyonce for adding country to her genre, nothing is more insulting to our creativity than to not put our faces on album covers and have white artist perform the songs that black artist created and display them and the songs that were our creation. This is not the same, because many of us reside in the South and are influenced by what we heard in those spaces for all to appreciate.
Amen❤. I'm from Upstate and I'm very much familiar with our history in country music and so on...
Yup, I remember they did that in the 50s
Amen! Well spoken...
My mom’s cousin was a Black cowboy in Texas back in the 1940’s and 1950’s. From what I understand he was a big deal in the rodeos. He passed away before I was born, so I never met him. Mom spoke of him often, and shared pictures of him.
Also my dad, a Tennessee native, only listened to Jazz, and country music. I grew up in a diverse musical family listening to country music is nothing new to us. My son- in law who is a Mississippi native blasts country music in his truck, he is country to the bone :). Our people have forgotten our past, the history of our people has been halted, hidden, and suppressed not only by white people, but by us. When people like Beyoncé, and K Michelle, etc come out with hidden areas of music the country is in shock, some MAD! WE have to do better with passing OUR HISTORY ON TO OUR PEOPLE before things like this occurs! NO ONE SHOULD BE UP IN ARMS ABOUT BLACKS SINGING COUNTRY MUSIC.
Make sure he gets recognition 4 his achievements
Man she is American rock our colors and her state flag we built this!!!!
They're upset because this yet another example of black excellence without any violence or hate
💥 There it is!
Just like Black Wall Street and just like Black Americans who are extremely professional and focused star 💫 performers, more competent, knowledgeable and effective than most of the staff, management/owners - simply minding their own business in the workplace.
That's a very good point YES
Bey will bring it for sure ❤️🤍💙
She always does and will continue to do so.
As she has and should. My appreciation for this Lady is only growing.
I've been attending the Bill Pickett Rodeo for years. Now in St. Louis, the Black Rodeo circuit is SOLD OUT! It was a beautiful thing to see.
Charlie Pride- a former Negro League baseball player , and even the great Ray Charles were singers of country music.
Yup 😁
This is the ignorance that comes from failing to teach BH.
Exactly.
The ladies and Roland are absolutely correct. The white men were known as Cattlemen but the brothers brought the swag and made Cowboys cool so the tag Cowboy was taken over via the media/Hollywood and most of the country think Cowboys were only white. I lived in Houston for 4 years and like these ladies and Roland state, the black rodeos are real and has always been so because 25% or more of the Cowboys were black.
Beyoncé has taken the world to school in Black History. Love the symbolism in her BLACK ART!
Thanks Roland for this segment! The Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo should be talked about everywhere...this is such rich history~
What I don't understand is that when Taylor Swift switch genres there was no conversation. But when Beyonce does it. It's a problem 😅🧐
Come on now. You do understand. Call a thing a thing.
We have soooo many ignorant people in this country it's shameful. Most can't even speak on our own history to any outsiders. Really sad😢
Thank you for reminding them anyway...
Right, so many ignorant ppl in America. Many White ppl don't want ppl to know the history and many black ppl have been misled or were not taught the history! The time has come to be educated!
It is really sad. The upside is- we can all learn, and grow, if we choose to. Hard to have hope I agree.
I’m really grateful for this channel. I have learned so much about black history and culture. 🫶🏻✊Thank you for everything
Exactly I'm a 60's kid my uncle would have me read books and study black history im greatful and taught my children, whats embarrassing is that the new edition of blacks have not been properly taught their History and they have no clue about the great black inventors we had and have.
I’ve attended the Bill Pickens Rodeo when it was at the LA Equestrian Center. It was great!!! Go to the black rodeo when you have a chance ❤❤❤
What Beyonce is doing for the culture needs to go in the History books. I’m glad she’s the type of artist with intention/ purpose. Protect her at all costs!!!
Agreed👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Absolutely But yet some black people continue to pour hate on her. Beyonce has done more for black culture than most artist i can think of in her generation. She's constantly pushing the boundaries constantly educating in her images lyrics and sound. I just love the way she's showcasing Black rodeo history black 🖤 Cow girls/boys it's very deliberate with intent. I cannot but respect her for that. She's reach the stage in her career where she's unapologetic and she will say whatever she wants that's what I love about her she's pours her true feeling into her music. I hear the third part of her trilogy is going to be rock n roll. If this is true Boy watch how White folks will be spitting hairs. We all know who invented rock n roll. It was not Elvis nor Jim Haley!!
I love the trail ride and rodeo. If you live in the South..cowboy hats, boots, horses, and black men/women riding horses are nothing new.
From the part of the south I am from, we rarely saw black people with cowboy hats and cowboy boots. We didn't have any horses either, but we did have a couple of mules. I think that is the reason Beyonce was getting a lot of negative feedback from black people because they are not used to the black cowboy culture. It's good that we are now getting exposed to it.
Exactly amen amen amen
Thank you Roland Martin for introducing us to Black Rodeo....knew nothing about it ...will continue to look into our history...Love, love, love the art of the flag
It is sad how much Black people miss out on because they limited by the bias of the few. They do share their videos across all the social media platforms. I first saw them on Facebook and it was surprising, as well as fascinating, at the time. There is even an all women group that compete all time. Black people are very versatile and can thrive and shine in most any environment! That is one of the reasons why these other races try to keep them out of areas where they want to dominate!
Thank you, Roland, for this information. I love the Bill Pickett Rodeo, I attend every year and watch all the talented brothers and sistas.
They brought many of us here, many of us were already here! Our ancestors, parents, grandparents and our sons/daughters fight for this country! This is OUR country too! Why can’t Beyonce or any of us display the flag, we do not need their permission!
I believe the flag issue is more complex than solely Black Americans having a claim to the US. It's crucial to recognize that this country's history extends beyond domestic affairs. The United States has inflicted harm on many people internationally, and the flag symbolizes that for some. It's not an indictment against Black Americans, but rather a recognition of broader historical and global implications. However, the criticism about her involvement is country music is racist.
They're mad at how good she look.
They are mad at everything positive.
They stay mad 😡
Big mad.
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. Ain't nothing cute how about running around with no clothes on all the time. White country singers and I'm going to say it, are dignified.
@@pamsanders6211 tell it to Taylor she dresses like that too
As a native Houstonian, my grandfather as well as his brothers were black cowboys. The Livestock Show and Rodeo is going on RIGHT NOW in Houston . It’s a month long event. Beyoncé is from my city. It feels like its black people participating in the erasure and denial of African American history due to lack of knowledge and the trend of complaining about everything and everybody online.
I'm from Houston. And I still Go Texan (at work) every year.
As far I have seen it is white people complaining about Beyonce celebrating part of her history.
Thank you for the learning 👍🏿💯
The White Horse?
Much appreciation for this video ❤
They mad because she’s not carrying the confederate flag!
Great discussion!! I learned a lot and am looking forward to attending a Black Rodeo. Thank you Roland Martin for keeping us educated and informed.
Thank you Roland for exposing our history through your work. I went to a Bill Pickett rodeo in Arizona and I have never felt such comraderie , such historic pride and just love for my people than that. Our culture is so incredibly ignorant of who we are or where we come from. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Remember Charlie Pride?
I know Charlie Pride's son, Carlton. Used to kick with him in San Marcos when I was at TxState.
Loving watching Beyonce make them whine. Maybe ask her to perform at a live event. Mahalo for the history lesson 🤙💙💜❤
And DON'T forget Charlie Pride and Gatemouth Brown, Two legends respectively, in Country and Blue Grass/Swing music (The Charlie Pride Theatre in Branson, MO). My first Black Rodeo was in 1985 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma !!! It really opened my eyes to the GENERATIONS of Black Cowboys AND Cowgirls that have been participating, organizing, and EDUCATING many, many people (including myself) of OUR contributions in the Rodeo industry. 😎
We are part of every facet of American life. We will not be erased! Thank you for educating the public about this!
Shes American and pay HUGE TAXES. SHE can do whateved the hell she wanna do. And i aint even a Beyonce fan but stand by her against stupidity, ignorance and racism !
Me 2 I am a fan of something's she has done with Destiny's child but I will stand with her aswell
My dad served in the army and tought all of his children to love and respect our flag. Especially during the King riots as some people burned the flag.He said the flag had nothing to do with the mistreatment of black people. Burn the system not the flag. I have one hanging in my bedroom to this day.
Your father sounds like a very wise and patient guy. Much respect 💜
@@edvh88 he's one of the greatest of all time wouldn't change him for all the money in the world.
I love it❤ all of the music that we hear today is from us. We invented it.
Thank you roland for everything you do for our family
The info shared here is informative, complicated as it is ❤️🖤💚🙏🏽
Education is never wasted 🍯
I’m a women from Louisiana who is very enriched in my Creole/ cowgirl/culture. My uncles who migrated to Houston Texas when they were young boys. Due to the KKK trying take them from their home to lynch them. But my grandparents stood their ground never allowed the KKK to take my young uncles. The very next day my 3 uncles pack their moved to Houston Texas at the age of 13,12,11 years old. I said of this to say I always remember my uncles dress in their cowboy hats, western jeans, and cowboy boots, with large belt buckles. They only dressed in that style clothing where ever they went. Other times they wore Western style cowboy suits for a more dresser occasions. When ever possible I wear my cowgirl boots, and cowboy hat. I get many compliments from my style of dress. I know some black have never seen a black cowboy riding horse. Especially, in Louisiana and Texas its very common to see a black men or women dress in cowboy boots and hats. This who we are
I am Hispanic, born and raised. You speak truth!!
I remember when my Granny took me to see the Bill Pickett rodeo as a kid. I had never seen a Black cowboy until that day. I was so proud and my mind was blown! Good work Mrs Carter.
Thanks for the Black Education 👏🏽
I enjoy the show aswell
My daddy was a cowboy, I wear my cowgirl boots and hat proudly
However you feel about Beyonce, the person, what I sincerely appreciate is the attention that has been brought to yet another beautiful aspect of US!!!! The UN-whitewashing of our history is a continued process and Im here for it!!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👢👢👢✊🏽❤️🖤💚
This lady just said 1 of every 4 black cowboys were black... thanks
4 out of 4 was black.
Not to be mean, but we got some ignorant black folks out here. Before jumping on a troll bandwagon, do some research check your history. Black History!
I guess they don’t know ,anything about the Buffalo Soldiers as well!
Great segment! For educating us Roland
This is why EDUCATION is so important. Wiping out a history of a whole PEOPLE INSIDE OF A NATION breeds ignorance. I’m from Nashville Tennessee and country music is in our DNA. it’s natural
Their wiping out our history because they been lying about our true contributions to this country look at Hiden figures they couldn't say nothing about helping them
We live in a world full of ignorant people.
Ray Charles,Charlie Pride and others.
What people don't understand is that Black people as a people are everywhere and we rule, own and rock every genre of music. if not the genre incorporates our sound into their own. It's discrimination rooted in ignorance that tries to block black people.
Thanks for dispelling the ignorance.
i don't understand the critics. she is a Texan, born and raised. she is a cowgirl. what's the problem. she can dip into diff genres if she wants. only white folks do country music, no. i think they are afraid that ppl will love her. life is so short and ppl concentrate on the wrong issues. there is no issue here for me, Lady B. do your thang.
Great Teach. Keep it coming!
Never been on a horse, never seen Black Cowboy. Why do I feel ashamed?

You just weren't exposed. Now you know.
Im am so glad this event wasn't sold out for to others to benefit from.
I’m born and raised in Houston,TX Acres Homes to be exact and we went to nothing buy black rodeos. These people just upset and mad because we taking our genre back. They need to be worried about healthcare and children starving.
Where will America be without the black Americans 'inputs? Tell them Uncle RoRo .
Speak the truth.
I have waited so long for this country bomb to drop. We have watched the entire planet ride our culture (K-Pop=R&B-Black Artist-racial barriers)…including country. So proud of Beyoncé and her art department, as well!✊🏾🔥✊🏾🔥✊🏾🐎
Btw: Little known fact…I live here in Las Vegas, and we have Black cowfolk out here, too. A lot of southern folks move here (shot-out to the South) and bring their culture with them. I love it❤
She beautiful as ever!!! Way to go Beyoncé, Carter ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was very educational and informative. Thank you for sharing this
Yes, tell it. My grandfather took the family to Black Rodeos, in the 50's and we lived in Ca.
I just followed them on Facebook and Instagram 🎉🎉💯🙌🏾
Beyonce is killing it 💜💯💜🥰. Leave her alone.
Oh lord! They talking about the success of the black rodeo. Here come the ... wanting piece of the pie.
Thank you as always for this excellent conversation that is not only necessary but as always, RIGHT ON TIME!
We have black cowboys right here in Clinton Maryland near Washington DC! Riding/exercising their horses up and down our streets AND allowing the kids to ride assisted by REAL cowboys! My grandkids LOVE them!
I loved the black rodeo in Houston when I lived there. ❤
One of our teachers at Dunbar Vocational H.S. in Chicago was Thyrl Latting. Latting Rodeo Productions, Inc. As students and Chicago were supporters Thyrl Latting Rodeo Spectular! We were proud! Mr. Latting taught us something about ourselves. This is a controversy??!! WOW!!
I attended last year, it was an awesome experience. Thank you for continuing the education.
