- HYPE+ - Netflix's 'Harder They Fall' would be one of few movies highlighting the true story of black cowboys in history. In this special feature for 'HYPE+' we dive into the story of Cherokee Bill played by Lakeith Stanfield in the film to learn how accurate was the character.

The original Lone Ranger was black, he was bass Reeves, he was a US Marshal
Lakieth Should Play Allen Allensworth
FACTS
@Mthere’s pictures of Bass Reeves, he was clearly a dark skin black man 😆. He wasn’t biracial 😆. Both his parents were former slaves who moved to Indian territory.
@M ok troll
@M you just proved his point
Thank for highlighting black cowboys, history books seems to forget about them
They didn't forget, they just didn't want us to know
He wasnt even black. About 25% black. Btw he wasnt a cowboy. He never drove cattle.
My grandfather was a so-called "Black Cowboy" He was born in Arkansas, 1886 and his parents & grandparents were never Slaves. They owned there own land and sold it for a better life in the North, in 1917 (Chicago) as many families made the Exodus to manufacturing jobs in the onslaught of competition from European Immigration. He told me about his cattle drives from Galveston Texas to the Chicago Stock Yards. He worked the P T. Barnum Circus Attractions too. Buster Jones, Sharpshooter and Huntsman.
My whole family and I hail from Arkansas as well.
Aboriginal american or native american black is sub category for colored native
Great history. Thanks for sharing!
I need to take my daughter to the Black American West Museum here in Denver.
If you’re ever in DC, check out the African American military museum. Lost of knowledge in there, of course it’s not next to the Smithsonian’s but it’s something.
@@reportedstolen3603 Thank you. I will if I'm ever in DC.
REMEMBER THE MOVIE POSSE THAT CAME OUT IN 1993? That's one of my favorite movies of all time!
That was a great movie👏🏽👏🏽
Y’all could make this a whole series. Bringing to light the more obscure faces of the wild west.
The movie was good until I saw the ending I hated the movie afterwards
The movie wasn't that good.
@@RomarioToretto I figured that someone like you would say that the movie wasn't that good 😂
@@etruscancivilization You don't know me so that's my opinion. You have yours.
@@etruscancivilization You're definitely a fan boy as the movie wasn't good it wasn't bad just wasn't good.
This was lakeith Stanfield best role imo
You haven't watch judahs and the black messiah?
yessir!
@@iconquan5897 yeah he did a great job in that one as well
My great grandparents were from Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, and attended the hanging of Crawford in Fort Smith. Cherokee Bill was a local boy that was known by locals. According to my father, his grandmother said of the hanging, "that was the most disgusting thing I ever saw. I'll never go to a go hangin' a again".
Thee Comedian/Actor- Sinbad actually did a movie loosely based on his life on HBO, called Thee Cherokee Kid. And this made for T.V. Movie debuted in the year of 1996, & I I love it too.
I learned about black cowboys from the Intelligent Hoodlum joint "Possee" back in 1993
Beautiful storytelling. Thank you for the history lesson.
My problem with the movie was they made them opps. They were NOT opps with each other. Stagecoach Mary helped build a Catholic school in Wisconsin. She was the only Blacc person allowed to drink in the bars in her town. No other BM or bw. Bill Picket learned how to take down bulls by bulldogs. They bite the lip of the bull and flip them down so that’s what he did. Started as a young kid. Chief John Horse was considered the Blacc Moses of Seminoles. Esteban the Negro was considered the first Blacc Cowboy. Learn about Nat Love also. A bunch of history there. You can listen to a podcast called Black Cowboys and get a great education
These Indians now came from South America after the Native Black Natives were enslaved.
@@russcarr3406 and the seminoles were?
@CeaserTAMG. An amalgamation of Guale Gechee, Yamessee, and other tribes driven south during the Indian wars of the 1800s
@@holmesoh so tribes, in North America, based off North Americans. Got it
one of my favorite black western is buck and preacher with sidney poiter, harry belafonte and ruby dee.
I love historical run downs such as this.. Well done to everyone who produced this video
Except it's a load of dog shit
Sinbad did a good role playing Cherokee bill in a movie during the '80s
90s
The Cherokee kid
I think I remember see that movie.
Comedy Hype act like Django and The harder they fall was the only movies with Black cowboys
It was Black cowboy movies before Sinbad and the Cherokee kid
It was Black cowboy movies besides Mel Brooks Blazing Saddles.
Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, Fred Williamson, Woody Strode, Jim Brown
Buck and the Preacher is a good movie with Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee and Harry Belafonte

Posse from the 90's Mario Van Peebles and his dad Melvin Van Peebles, they had all star cast
Knowledge is Everything.... Real History 101
That movie is not real history.
So y'all never heard of * Woody Strode* he was in numerous cowboy, gladiator and military movies before majority of us where born.
He did a cowboy movie with Muhammad Ali
You just forgot about the 90's with
Mario Van Peebles and his movie Posse with cowboys and buffalo soldiers 🙄🤔
He had a all start cast Pam Grier, Stephen Baldwin, Woody Strode, his dad Melvin Van Peebles, Tiny, Isaac Hayes and etc
It was Black cowboys in movies and movies starring Black cowboys as leads before Blazing Saddles and Django
Richard Pryor did one, it's on Tubi free streaming app
A lot of them in the 70's
Sidney Poitier did several movies playing a cowboy
My favorite one *Buck and the Preacher* with Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee and Harry Belafonte a must watch
1. Danny Glover in Silverado
2. Thomasine and Bushrod
3.Morgan Freeman: Unforgiven
4.. Sidney Poitier: Duel at Diablo
5. Richard Pryor & Fred Williamson : Adios Amigo
6. Jim Brown: 100 Rifles
There where Black cowboy movies from the 30' and 40's but they where only seen by black audience
Movies like The Bronze Buckaroo
no one forgot. you're missing the nuances. we live in an era NOW where when ONE thing is made, we can most likely run with it.
That wasnt true back then. Posse was actually my favorite western/cowboy movie because of what ut was. but you see the huge gap between that and the earlier movies. and as you stated, older movies that had ONLY black audiences...so obscure that my 80sometthijg almost 90yr old grandfather still watch the old white westerns cause that's the majority as well as easier to get. put on the western channel and let it play all day and he's happy. and has been doing that since I was in middle school. he's a great grand of 12 now.
and even posse MY first black cowboy movie, had the theme of some white people doing something.
this movie is by large black, with its own problems dealing with its own people just so happen to be in the world and era of all the hate of white people. so that's celebrated as well.
and just knowing this movie was made in this era and having REAL hope that feels tangible that ecen more can be made to FINALLY have enough where a channel dedicated to westerns and cowboys can have other than white people.
we knew back then that was most likely not going to happen.
No one saw black panther as the first black hero. just the first black hero that had all its histories and culture connected about them. not needing to add or soften it for certain audiences.
it's the NUANCES that people are celebrating. all the layers of meanings. what things stand for today vs then.
now I think this person's history on black cinema may need a little refreshing, but largely I agree with his sentiment.
Sinbad did a movie for hbo called the Cherokee kid. Look it up on RUclips.
THANK YOU for knowing history.
@@agonleed3841 blank panther was made by white dudes lol
thanks comedy hype for more of our history
My grandmother (Mary) met Cherokee Bill in Okla. She was attempting to cross a muddy street. Cherokee Bill laid his coat on the mud for her to walk on. She stated he was a gentleman.
My great great great Uncle. God bless you.
Bass Reaves the Original Lone Ranger
There was some black cowboys books when I was younger, but they were always checked out.
Thank you for sharing
This history on the black cowboys
Great Movie. The brother played Cherokee Bill is soooo handsome! Loved all the characters, they were amazing!
Yes. That's fine azzz Lakeith Stanfield
Pryor help write the movie to Blazing Saddles with Mel Brooks
Blazing Saddles was supposed to star Richard Pryor with Gene Wilder.
They got Cleavon Little instead because Richard was a on drugs, he was high risk for movie studios, they said he was uninsurable.
Best decision ever.
Let's not forget Thomasine and Bushrod! I remember seeing that movie when i was a kid.
This was a great movie, I loved it.
He was Lamilton before Lamilton lol
Honestly, "The Harder They Fall" is the best Western since "TOMBSTONE". It's a downright shame that the racism in this country has kept this great movie from being critically acclaimed as it should. American history is truly just that, "HIS-story". I think it is cowardly that you would rather believe lies than to embrace the truth, just so you can appear to be superior.
"Harder..." was not even mentioned at the academy awards! The performances, and the writing in that movie were excellent, entertaining, and historical. I know it is difficult and expensive, but I pray that more ethnic movies are made (black, native, Mexican, Spanish, Oriental...etc) depicting the "True-story" of how this country came to be great instead of just "HIS-story" . Then we can all be proud to be Americans.
Bro, it wasnt anywhere near as good as tombstone lol.
How do I find the name of this background music ?
Do a video on the ALAMO then you see mexican is a part of black history
I watch the harder they fall good film. But in that movie. They made his character look more like a coward.💯
Fred Williamson made 4 Westerns, Jim Brown made 3 or 4, Sidney Poitier made 2 classics, Bill Cosby had a western, Woody Strode made his fame in Westerns, before that Herbert Jeffries was tje singing black cowboy in the 1940s. Not sure how "hidden" black cowboys have been
Don't forget about posse so that's cap we been had black cowboy movies
Facts I am related to Willie Bill Pickett
There are Black cowboy movies like Blazing Saddles, Django and the Hardy the Fall.
Black exploitation western cowboy movies with Jim Brown and Fred Williamson
People who like western
cowboy movies
1.Posse Mario Van Peebles
2. Buck and the Preacher with
Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee and Harry Belafonte from the 70's is a must watch cowboy movie

The movie "Posse" was real tho about so called Black Cowboys
the black cowboy comes from black Indians that were enslaved. we were already here .. not came from Africa ❤
Exactly. Bass Reeves spoke a dozen Indigenous languages. And like many other cowboys/lawmen/outlaws, he had no issues moving through "Indian "territory because they were likely kinfolk. Especially after the trail of tears displacement South Eastern "Woodlands Indians". Buffalo soldiers were the same. The Negroes were the Cowboys and the Cowboys were Indian.
@holmesoh no. He was enslaved in Grayson County, Texas (the next county over from my home county of Cooke). He beat up his slave owner really bad and thought he'd killed him, so he naturally fled into Indian Territory (modern day Oklahoma. Oklahoma didnt become a state until 1907 or 1909, but i cant remember which). Grayson County is literally bordered with indian territory and only the Red River separates the two. He wasnt related to native americans. Stop trying to steal other peoples history. Your ancestors were brought over on slave ships.
Hello he was only 20
They nominated Power of the Dog but not Harder They Fall. This is why the Oscars is and will always be pure trash. Terrific movie.
I don’t know but I’m related to Bill Pickett and still haven’t got a check
Great Job. Goldsby is pronounced Gold like the precious metal.
Amen. Crawford Cherokee Bill Goldsby is my great great great uncle. Thank you and God bless
Cherokee Bill is my 1st Cousin 4X Removed. Had no idea I was related to him.
vulnerable ? im dead lol
Watch the 1996 "Cherokee Kid" movie starring Sinbad. There is a LOT of historical perspective in that movie.
That slave thing is misinformation, these prominent Nubian cowboys were indigenous to this land, and had develop these skills long before colonization
Great
He Should Play Allen Allensworth
That's What's Up Comedy Hype That Qas A Good Representation Of The Black's🗣🗣 In The West🔫
Why is it so hard to believe that the original American Indians are black and not from Africa??
Are we this brainwashed??
It’s been engrained!
@@Cosmoshairco Because it's not true
@@kennyjukes2495 But every single brown person are only here because white people brought them is🤦🏿♂️
@@stabooki83 Real cute Brown person yes their were Brown persons here but not of African descent there's never been any discovery in the Americas that shows a significant African population prior to the slave trade not North America or South not the Caribbean if not all at least 99.7% of the African population in Americas came here via the slave trade up until 1888🤔🤔🤔💯👍👍
Literally just need to ask your grandparents and put two and two together. The history exists just people are so brainwashed. When I was a kid I was always told about American Indians being us not Africans. Didn’t learn that until school as I got older. And then you would think it’s common to realize that the people telling you that you’re African are Caucasians. Our grandparents already told us we was American Indians so you gonna believe white people over your family… 🤦🏾♀️
*Strange but true...never heard about Black cowboys, because movies never even featured a single Black cowboy...not even a token Black in the cast. ...Black slavery was so huge, that there must have been Black run-away Black youth who decided to live wild to the death.*
There ARE movies that feature Black cowboys. Too many for me to list.
@@nicolebutler2860 I have never seen any...and if there were any probably by law of "token Black" in the White cast, who supposed to be the wise lonely person or the one who dies quickly or plays it up the White hero with the big muff and the small d...ck and the huge guns. Take a hike!
These pictures are confusing. Was he the black man or the olive skin tone man.
"$500 in 1875 is worth $12,896.18 today
The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.24% per year between 1875 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 2,479.24%."
If anyone else was curious...

Ty🥰
Have anyone heard of John Horse not to mention the largest and most successful Indigenous-American African rebellion in US History?
Watch the movie Posse.
What’s funny is I’m related to goodsby’s
How did people get on warrants with cartoon drawings. I’m sure there has been a lot of cases of mistaken identity
The truth they men and women of Indian culture
What about posse with mario van pebbles that was a good film
Masters meaning the Spaniards
The original Cowboy was a Black cattle rancher. Hollywood fucked up history by confusing Cowboys with Outlaws...
He just sounds like a modern urban boy
Dane Calloway can tell you about Cherokee Bill...
He was only 20 when he was lynched he lived a full life
Historically brown people in history are played by other races all the damn time. It was a brown cast, why yal mad?
How could Cherokee Bill's mom be African American but name himself after his mother's Cherokee heritage? You can't be both...lol.
SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. THOSE "MIXED" VERSIONS ARE NOTHING BUT BI-RACIAL OFFSPRINGS FROM THE COLONIALS.
How she was from Africa and Cherokee, Not! she was already here a Cherokee not from Africa we need to focus on our own land here and stop that out of Africa theme. I am Blackfoot and this is my home stop focusing on a place we have never been, now I do know African American but they will not say they are from Africa they let you know where they are from like Nigeria, Ghana and the such and Nigeria is only 50, 60 yrs old so how some one born in 1800 come from Africa,
.....So "HIS" life story was made into a movie.. and not BASS REEVES.
His was an outlaw. Not a good example.
The old west was very diverse. The original cowboys were Mexicans known as Vaqueros. Mexicans invented everything cowboy, from the cowboy boots, belt buckles, the cowboy hat, cow wrangling,...etc Everything cowboy was a Mexican tradition, way before the pilgrims started moving west.
That dude in the thumbnail is not Cherokee Bill

Thank you EXCELLENT work.
Why is a dark skinned man playing a light skinned man? By the pictures its not historically correct! Now, even we aren't accurately portraying the black character.
Why is a biracial woman playing a darkskinned black woman?
And why is a biracial playing Stagecoach Mary?
@@autumnjade815 Great question..
BECAUSE THAT SO CALLED "LITE SKINNED" MAN PHOTOS BEEN ALTERED. #THINK WHY WOULD THEY RATHER CHOOSE AN BROWN SKINNED INSTEAD OF AN 'HOLLYWOOD' INDIAN' THEY PORTRAY WITH THE SILKY LONG HAIR. BECAUSE THE SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLES ARE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. THE SAME REASON THE CHEROKEE BILL COMIC BOOK ALSO PORTRAYS A BROWN SKINNED MAN... NOT "LITE SKINNED". REMEMBER, WHITE PEOPLE ONLY IN FAVOR OF LITE SKINNED "BLACK PEOPLE". RATHER THAN THE DARK SKINNED (SO THEY CLAIM).

So basically he was only about 25% black and mostly native
All the people you’re talking about, are indigenous American Indians
They let LS play a Cherokee but gave the part of big, Black, beautiful, dark skin Stagecoach Mary to that unambiguously Black, mixed chick Zasie Beetz. I guess women have to be eye candy.
Cherokees are many complexion and originally dark skin. I'm proof. We must understand if those people who came ashore and stole our land, had saw people who looked like them it would have been an entirely different story. Indigenous natives were dark as well as the other tribes. $5 indians we're white and we're assigned native status to claim the land. And that's just but one way they stole it land. However Stagecoach Mary was a full figured dark skinned woman.
THATS RIGHT MY GRANDDAD TOLD ME THAT A BOY …WAS A BLACK PERSON NO ONE WHITE WAS EVER CALL BOY IN NO WORDS…SORRY FOR THE Caps..:)
he was part black part white and part Cherokee.... lol
It was 5 real ppl in that movie. Ill let yall figure it out 😂
I was just getting into Lakeith UNTIL he posed in female garb. Nope Gone and forgotten.
Did he ever have a choice?🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Those native schools are no joke..
But you went right by that nice looking black woman at the end you could’ve went by a little slowerWe do need a lot of more black western movies but in my family we have stories of black cowboys in my family but they was killers so it wouldn’t be something to write about
Um.... should we like this
I'm just saying. 😶
Didn’t they make a movie about this? It’s called Wild Wild West staring Will Smith
He looks absolutely nothing like Cherokee Bill
The original Cowboys were Black and Mexican
WHAT EXACTLY IS A "MEXICAN"? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO MEXICO, I'M SURE YOU HAVEN'T. THERE ARE CHINESE PEOPLE THERE WHO ARE CLASSIFIED AS 'MEXICAN'. JUST LIKE THERE ARE SO CALLED AFRICAN AMERICANS THERE WHO ARE CLASSIFIED AS 'MEXICAN', ALSO THERE ARE "WHITE PEOPLE" THERE WHO ARE CLASSIFIED AS 'MEXICAN'. AND 'BLACK' IS NOT A NATIONALITY
How is he African American when they never called themselves African American and his nickname is Cherokee bill He went to an American Indian boarding school doesn't that make him A American Indian or Aboriginal to this land?🤔🤷🏾♂️
Right! Almost like they don't even listen to the words that they're saying. I cringe everytime I hear them crowbar "quarter white", quarter Mexican "into the genealogy of any notable Indigenous Americans who would today be considered black, because they just can't process beyond the false Hollywood image of American Indians. Jimi Hendrix's mother was Cherokee btw
@@holmesoh Tru
While mentioning erasure, please don’t ironically participate in erasure yourselves. The origin of the term “Cowboy” was never a reference to the derision of Black cattle herders. That’s not only insulting to Black men of the time but is also completely ignorant to the Spanish-Mexican roots of Cowboy, which is “Vaquero.” Moreover, Cowboy was first documented in the English language in the eighteenth century, but the profession itself wasn’t available to Black men until the years of the Civil War. That alone, demonstrates where the word Cowboy originated from. In addition, Black Cowboys most likely resided in Texas, as frontier life was more prominent there than in any other state. Before Texas became a part of the Union, Whites had immigrated there illegally, but would later compromise with Mexico agreeing to certain conditions that they later broke by owning slaves. Meaning, Mexico did not accept slavery, so Blacks were given more dignity there under the protection of Mexican law which again, further reinforces the point that the word Cowboy wasn’t a derogatory term for Black cow-herders, but instead a manly profession open to Black men at the time. Come on, bro. A simple Google search could’ve enriched this report a whole lot more than what you presented
COME ON BRO, THE AGE OF INFORMATION IS HERE. AND WHAT EXACTLY IS A "MEXICAN"? YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE STORY MIXED UP WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY ON PURPOSE. ANYTHING TO DISCREDIT SO CALLED "BLACK PEOPLE" WILL ALWAYS BE INVOLVED WITH "SLAVERY" JUST TO MINIMIZE HOW IMPORTANT THEY REALLY ARE. YET HERE YOU ARE WITH 'HISTORY' WHICH IS A 'LIE'. AND YOU REPEATING IT AS IF IT'S TRUE. NOT EVERYTHING YOU FIND ON 'GOOGLE' IS CREDIBLE AS A SOURCE SMH
SINCE YOU LIKE USING GOOGLE AS A SOURCE, YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT IT IS SO CALLED "AFRICAN AMERICANS" WHO WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE ON EARTH WHO DOMESTICATED ANIMALS 'FIRST', THAT INCLUDES HORSES. NO SUCH PEOPLE CALLED "MEXICAN" EVER EXISTED YET.
"but is also completely ignorant to the Spanish-Mexican roots" THAT IS PLAIN STUPID, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SPANISH-MEXICAN ROOTS, LMAO FIRST OFF 'SPANISH' WHICH DERIVES FROM SPAIN, GUESS WHO RULED SPAIN...ANCIENT AFRICANS KNOWN AS THE MOORS, GUESS WHO WERE TAUGHT BY THOSE VERY SAME ANCIENT AFRICANS- THE COLONIALS "WILD MEN". SOME LATER MIXED SOME REMAINED THE SAME. THE MOORS CIVILIZED THE COLONIALS AND TAUGHT THEM MANY THINGS INCLUDING DOMESTICATING ANIMALS. NOW PRIOR TO COLONIALISM, WHAT CULTURE EXISTED IN MEXICO?
Just one out of 4 was black that's a under statement most cowboys was black native American Hispanic or Irish and German what they also don't tell is the first German Irish Hispanic here was also black they black European here the first dutch here in America was black alot of the African Americans that came was also from Europe first as servants by the dutch so there's a lot of lies why do they call them cowboys because most of the cowboys was black
The word African-American in coming to play and to the 1980s Jesse Jackson so stop saying African-Americans. That term was not there on the people at that time.
Please stop calling us African America….We are ADOS/FBA
I don’t want my identity to have the word ‘slavery’ in it.
They took out the gospels and black history from education. Gospels=black history
Well obviously not a black guy. Looks like a native American mix.
Posse
What about the native American black people that was already there that you had shown in the photos
Wanted to immerse myself into the story( which I was aware of previously)but the narrator is not that great.
Take us didn’t come over on a boat American Indian US census government document don’t lie those are American Indians ancestors
No one identified as African-American or white during those times. He was likely an aboriginal whatever European immigrant was in that area at the time. There were very few African slaves west of the Mississippi during that time. Do ur research
Cherokee bill was not black! His father was white ,Sioux Indian and Mexican. Which probably means that his Grandfatherfather was a white man and his Grandmother was Sue Indian and Mexican mix. The seed comes from the mail there was no black man in the male gene pool which means he was not black at all just because he came from a black woman means nothing you are what your father is. We have to stop trying to make everybody a part of us just like they say Kamala Harris is a black woman when there is no black male in her gene pool her grandfather and great-grandfather married black women then her father married an Indian woman and brought her for forth. Kamala Harris by all accounts is a European woman.
BRUH TAKE YOUR TIME ENUNCIATE THEN RECORD
I think if you are going to take a stand against discrimination and promote presenting history in a more genuine context that you shuld be equally committed to not perpetuating those realities on other victims of the same colonization that africans experienced. It's just disappointing that everytime a historical figure is part black part indigenous their story is whole heartedly absorbed by black America. Cherokee bill was also native american ..as his name implies as it was taken in honor of his cherokee ancestry on his moms side and so rightfully he is a native american hero as well..crispus attucks...half indigenous...Jimmie hendrix part native if not half...and there are many more historical figures that are treated the same which is an erasure of indigenous history and identity. Why would african American historians perpetuate misleading narratives even as they complain about them
