Just watched his video from Vice 2018 awesome to see he's still at it doing what he loves

[@dougierivera5548]

Yeeehaww!! I’m so glad he’s riding professionally now.

[@Angie-ci1lp]

This young man deserves to be a BLACK HISTORY hero! Our children needs to know this please share his story ! ❤️

[@incubus_the_man]

He's not the first black professional bull rider...neither is he the only one. Ezekiel is probably one of the most well known black bull riders currently in the circuit but Charles "Charlie" Sampson was the first. Charlie also became the first black World Champion bull rider in 1982 and was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1996.

It's time the black communities and sports personalities give sponsorship to people like this young black man who trail blazing. He has my totally admiration and respect. Your 100% this is a great role model and Hero.I hope one day my children get to read about him in the history books.

There were alot of black cowboys in the old west. Many black people went out west because there was land and opportunity, segregation wasn't really a thing out there, self defense laws were pretty lax, and most of the racism out that way at the time was directed towards natives and Hispanics... people simply get the idea there wasn't any black cowboys because there aren't that many in western films....

[@amandamurray7929]

He's really inspirational because I want to become a cowboy but it's kinda hard when you get raised in the city

[@incubus_the_man]

I think that's one of the reasons people havea lot of respect for him. He found the lifestyle and chose be a part of it despite potential adversity.
