The other day, I saw a black Philippino cowboy that I haven’t seen in a decade. He was still working cows, shoeing a few horses, and making a living. Super nice guy.

10:52 "Can you tell me where the name 'cowboy' came from? It came from slaves". Searched Google high and low for any proof of this, even black college historical sites and nothing. The truth of the matter is: The English word cowboy was derived from vaquero, a Spanish word for an individual who managed cattle while mounted on horseback. Vaquero was derived from vaca, meaning "cow," which came from the Latin word vacca. Maybe the woman speaking at 10:52 was told that misinformation and is passing it on as fact.

You see mexicans are spainards and american indians. Spainards taught their sons mexicans to ride horses in 1500s and in the 1800s vaqueros taught whote then whote men taught blacks in 1865 after blacks were freed from slavery. So black and white enjoy mexican culture?
