The word “cowboy” is now equated to genocide

Jazz ShawPosted at 12:41 pm on March 20, 2019

I hadn’t even heard about this particular bit of insanity until I read about it at the Daily Wire. The general description makes it sound like a fairly typical bit of political correctness gone several orders of magnitude too far, but what was even more shocking was the fact that it was taking place in Wyoming. Last summer, a group of professors at the University of Wyoming (UW) were protesting the school’s offensive new slogan. (Trigger warning.) They had adopted the motto “The world needs more cowboys.”
 

One of the professors pointed out that the term “cowboy” had racist, sexist, homophobic and genocidal undertones. Horrifying, right? I’m sure you can immediately see the problem. Wait… what’s that? You don’t see the problem? Allow the Daily Wire’s Hank Berrien to explain.

Shoiuldn't the word "democrat," or words "democrat party" be equated with genocide also?  Their reluctance to give up on America's "unique institution" caused over 600,000 Americans their lives in the Civil War alone. :reaper:

'Cowboy' is also synonymous with white male.

I'm beginning to sense a theme here.

"Cowboys" weren't responsible for native genocide- that would be the US Government led by those famous Democrats Andrew Jackson and James Buchanan.

LOL.. except in reality, a very high percentage (about 25%) were African-American former slaves.

My father was a proud native of Wyoming. His father was a cowboy.


During the 1980s I recall my father showing me an article, in Time or another weekly newsmag. It was a black man, retired medical doctor, that picked Wyoming to settle down for his retirement years.


He had a ranch. When questioned by the reporter, he said peole treated him very well. He said the most notable thing, was the novelty of his situation.

No racism, no discrimination, same as the thing that More or less the same thins which drew Freed blacks West, after the CW.

I have an original painting of a real true cowboy on my wall at home.  It has a plaque that says "Cowman".  Cowboys were and are wonderful hardworking people.  In Texas if someone calls you a cowboy, you are honored.

Cultural Marxism, I just hope none of these bizarre things tossed at us is enough to be the straw that breaks the camel's back, what is scary is how many supporters this idiocy has.

This far north, about half of the working cowboys I have known were, in fact, American Indian, and there were a couple of black cowboys too. Unfortunately, as usual, the SJWs are targeting the wrong group. It's only 'genocide' if you're a cow....and then, it was population control, not elimination.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
