"The Compton Cowboys, a close-knit club of friends, joined thousands of people for a peaceful trip through Compton on Sunday."

"The club, which formed in 2017 to dispel stereotypes against black people, welcomed all riders for a march from Gateway Towne Center to Compton City Hall."

It is so fake and pure virtual signaling to be wearing a mask outdoors when it is 70 plus degrees. It might as well say, "I'm a frightened child and dope."

production value. After images of some blacks and white sociopath Antifa goons breaking things, burning things, spay painting things destroying property and looting - this is what we get.

is it even real or are these people hired by hollywood?

I hope it's real. But there is a production quality to it.

Dave Begley ayon kay ...

There are two people walking around my office building in face masks and gloves. I have a *low* opinion of these people. Dopes.

Mister Ed is Racist

Does an outtake from 'Mister Ed' capture the talking equine making a racist comment?

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/horse-racist/

Comment: My friend told me that Mr. Ed made a racist comment on one of the episodes, so I looked it up and found a video clip. Is it true or is it racist?

This isn’t a vintage 1961 TV clip; it’s a retro re-creation taken from a March 2003 episode of the Comedy Central series Chappelle’s Show (starring comic Dave Chappelle), an episode featuring a spoof investigative news piece about racist animal stars in the entertainment industry:


"FRONTLINE" - RACIST HOLLYWOOD ANIMALS - UNCENSORED

Flipper and other famous Hollywood animals are outed as bigots in this expose.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

Nice! Too bad all the other protests lacked the peaceable ursine ambience of this peace walk. This is the way to do it!

Ken B ayon kay ...

I like the Stetsons!

Fernandinande ayon kay ...

They reinforced the stereotypes that blacks are racists obsessed with their own race, that they blame white people for their own shortcomings, and that they're ignorant and like stupid slogans.

At least nobody was murdered.

Excellent!

Now how did this happen without people rioting and corporations giving millions to their cause?

The world wonders...

Leland ayon kay ...

Yeah, I'm gon' take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more

"Who was that masked man?" Heigh-ho, Silver!

It's narcissistic pussy signalling to criticize mask wearing.

Who were the masked men? Hi oh Silver.

Good to something positive for a change.

Drago ayon kay ...

It's interesting just how many people have no idea how many blacks were real cowboys/cowpokes after the Civil War.

GatorNavy ayon kay ...

Mike, did ya mean equine? Ursine pertains to bears and only Russians are crazy enough to ride bears for fun

Big Mike ayon kay ...

I agree with Drago. Apparently people have forgotten (or never heard of) Nat Love or Bill Pickett or Bass Reeves.

PM ayon kay ...

"It's interesting just how many people have no idea how many blacks were real cowboys/cowpokes after the Civil War."

And sureshot regulators for hire.

Charlie Currie ayon kay ...

Some of you need to catch up - dope, like bad, wicked, bitchin' means good. Kids, always messin' with the language.

Just like, defund the police, doesn't mean, "defund" the police. It means, take the money and hire other people to do what the police do, but call them something different, less threatening. It'll be dope.

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

Those are beautiful horses. Not something I would ever want to throw my money away on though.

Drago ayon kay ...

The Crack Emcee: "You see niggas on horses all the time in Compton."

Not just Compton in Southern California, but Compton does seem to carry on the tradition of the black cowboy more than alot of other places. Possibly a holdover from the age of Hollywood westerns.

Whats really fun to think about is the remaining 3 significant urban oil fields that are still being tapped within Los Angeles proper. You can google earth the largest exposed field at Inglewood. Can you imagine how much value that field still generates to keep it more profitable than selling off for development?

Another oil field runs under Sunset Blvd to downtown LA and its pumping stations are hidden within attractive buildings that disguise the pumping operations.

Drago ayon kay ...

Howard: "It's narcissistic pussy signalling to criticize mask wearing."

Howard's rhetorical ploys to try and get people to stop commenting on obvious lefty hypocrisy and disingenuous tactics are always fun to read.

Achilles ayon kay ...

Great message.

If they vote for Democrats they will get screwed.

Just like the last 50 years in LA.

mikee ayon kay ...

There are things that people do, such as ride horses, own firearms, build things, play sports, where participation by those outside the group is not just allowed, but encouraged. I applaud the Compton Cowboys and would love to ride with them!

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent ayon kay ...

"It is so fake and pure virtual signaling to be wearing a mask outdoors when it is 70 plus degrees"

Don't discount the possibility of ironic mask wearing. Especiually in light of the looting and riots.

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

Yo gatornavy: Yep can’t even blame it on autocorrect this time. More coffee!

They should’ve invited the Sheriff's mounted volunteers too.

Howard ayon kay ...

Drago must interpret my posts into the cuck language so you people can read it the right way. I accept that.

Not Sure ayon kay ...

Unlike the video, the screenshot seems apocalyptic.

Exploiting horses' bodies, you mean.

stlcdr ayon kay ...

Which stereotype are they trying to dispel?

JaimeRoberto ayon kay ...

My town has a parade before the rodeo every year. One of the groups in the parade is the black cowboys. It does catch me by surprise every time, but it's cool nonetheless. The best part of the parade is a group of Mexicans with dancing horses.

daskol ayon kay ...

If only horses came in an SUV package, we'd all still be riding them.

Bilwick ayon kay ...

Straight Outta Tombstone.

I see Crack hasn't taken my advice of leaving the looted-out cities and trying his hand at forced reparations in the suburbs and small towns of northern Georgia. I know that because he's still alive. Pussy.

Rosalyn C. ayon kay ...

It's like a gay pride parade for black people. Peace, joy, love, black pride. Sure works better than vandalism and looting if you want to improve race relations. I'm surprised blacks didn't think of it sooner.

Big Mike ayon kay ...

I applaud the Compton Cowboys and would love to ride with them!

@mikee, based on the article, you won’t be welcome unless you’re black, like them. Raises the question of whether blacks-only clubs ought to be as illegal as whites-only organizations, but that’s a question for another day.

Rick.T. ayon kay ...

Punchline: Clip clop. Clip clop. Bang! Clip clop clip cop.

If your first thought this is a joke about POC on horses, you might be a racist.

All you ever do is "pussy signal" Howard. You're so PC you crap platitutdes.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent ayon kay ...

I love that the media has to emphasize that a given gathering was "peaceful". Though I have it on good authority that many gatherings in Seattle reported as such were anything but.

Poor, naked wretches, where so e’er you are,

That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,

How shall your houseless heads, and unfed sides,

Your loop'd and window’d raggedness, defend you

From seasons such as these?

King Lear Act III, Scene IV, Lines 28-32.

Lewis ayon kay ...

The Way
‘The way out is via the door:
how come nobody knows this?’
Confucius, The Analects

Neither to go far nor to come home
Is the point, they say:
To stay that distant fixation found
In their farmers fields
There to scare the crows. Others,
Across the years, from family
To friends, may beg benediction,
Proper words to confirm
What their presumptions will always presume,
But you that timid daring
Which says there is a way but I cannot find it
As the parameter of a town
Beyond which the road leads past the graveyard
But never past fear.

Off topic but those trees in the photo appear to be Paulownia tomentosa (Empress tree) which is another unwanted invasive from China and has spread fairly rapidly here in TN. Grow extremely fast and multiply quickly. Flowers are pretty though.

JackWayne ayon kay ...

What stereotypes? Just down from where I lived in Houston - about 3 miles - was a black cowboy rodeo. They had a hooraw every Saturday night. And every year they participate in the Houston Rodeo Trail Drive. It’s only a stereotype to white liberals who live in cloistered communities.

Family.

Always again the wish to begin
Brilliantly new, once more to look clear
And innocent on what’s not clear and innocent,
To imagine these dirty rivulets
Spilling down the street as children imagine:
Surprising, delightful, infinite.
But the street is only a playground for louts,
The frustrated conduit of labour,
The town a particular of a history
Intensely, chronically self destructive.
We cannot unlearn contempt for the world,
The fragmentary spirit, the family
That fell apart even before it began.

Interesting to see the diverse crowd and the pretty horses, but speechifying jocks are always off-putting to me.

Lots of jacaranda trees in Compton. My grandparents lived there until the mid 1960s and the smell of jacarandas always reminds me of their house.

Krumhorn ayon kay ...

The Compton Cowboys have been around since they were mere youts. There are 9 males and one woman. They learned about riding and caring for horses by hanging around the Richland Farms Ranch run by the Jr. Posse nonprofit organization. The ranch is just blocks away from the downtown area of Compton. Their motto is "the streets raised us, the horses saved us".

An excellent book about them was just published in April by HarperCollins with the William Morrow imprint. There is a film in development about them based on the book at Fox Searchlight.

Here is an outstanding Guinness commercialand a terrific McDonald's commercial one or more of them are in.

They're really good folks.
