“Buffalo soldier, dreadlock Rasta,” are the opening lyrics to one of reggae superstar Bob Marley’s biggest hits song, “Buffalo Soldier.” The catchy reggae tune is actually about one of the most decorated soldiers in American military history.
Buffalo soldiers were African American soldiers who served on the western frontier after the American Civil War. Their main objective was to help control Native Americans in the plains and protect settlers, stagecoaches, wagon trails, and railroad crews in the western front. The history of the Buffalo soldiers was subdued for a long time because of racism, so here are more facts and truths about the Buffalo soldiers. “If you know your history then you would know where you coming from.”

Mexican caballeros (cowboys) taught American cowboys how to be cowboys. To this day there is a vast difference between a Mexican rodeo and and an American rodeo. I grew up in ranch country and from time to time I would encounter a black cowboy. I gave them vast respect like other cowboys because they are expert fighters and seemingly "made of steel".

Kool video, I only have one issue. Saying how they got their name is “a theory or something that was pulled out of a rear end” You make the mistake by separating the two reasons. In fact the buffalo soldiers did encounter many different tribes of natives and more than a few called them Buffalo Soldiers due to their hair and how brave they fought. You have to know how Native Americans gave names to things - it was a mix of appearance, ones actions, or other spiritual reasons. There were Native American elders that had fought and attested to this. Please don’t allow your dislike of how they got their name to change something that was not disrespectful in the first place.

Sadly, if you read what happened in Britain after the war, they regressed into racism too. The Empire Windrush black immigrants got shockingly bad treatment after they came to the isles for a better life from the colonies. Sammy Davis Jr. even got slurs yelled at him in the UK IIRC over his interracial marriage. Unthinkable after being polite to African American servicemen that they would sink so low...unless it was because our soldiers were merely guests in their country, not going to live amongst them.

The Buffalo Soldiers served the racist agenda of the US government. They were racist murderers, targeting Native Americans who were protecting their homes and families against invasion and aggression by multiple foreigners. The Buffalo Soldiers judged who they would kill and attack solely by their Native appearance. This was not the only path as other Black people chose to instead separate from the slave-holding Whites and join the Native people (see the Seminoles and many others in the US South). Ask yourself, if there was a Native American tribe that was documented as having targeted and murdered thousands of Black people in their homes, would you really think that those Native troops should be regarded as some of your modern-day heroes? This overly-simplistic binary (black/white) view of American history is so tired and ignores the millions of atrocities committed upon all of the people jammed, screwed and ignored in between.

Here it Comes. Think about this, the movie Glory was based on the letters that Col. Robert Goul wrote his parents. Are you aware that his training Sergent called the black regiment "dumb mexicans?" Also, Native Americans hild buffalos so sacred, if the so-called african americans were beating up on Natives, why would they give them the name buffalo soldiers? Why? You are the replacement. You come from Siberia travelling the land strait, You are not the original people of the Americas. Look at the movie, "Glory" you will here the Sgt. call the black men he is training" a bunch of dumb mexicans." You have to start reading ancient books. We changed the script

And he is One of the last of the Original Buffalo Soldiers. 1941 to 1945 in 1945 they disbanded. Oh and they were called buffalo soldiers because the Indians said that they were fierce fig hters and their hair resembled the hair of a buffalo. My dad and others were stationed at the Mexican border to keep the Japanese from entering into America.

Cj They killed the Native American under the order of the white military men at that time;but with every chance they got they helped save many of them; when the white military did not know about it.

An important fact about the buffalo soldier is the reason these brave men acquired the name. The Native Americans considered their physical appearance. To the "Indians," they bore a physical similarity to the buffalo; i.e. close curly hair and broad noses coupled with courageous behavior. Of course, the p.c. agenda will distort everything. Let's not forget the "director" who wrote brought the film "Glory."

@grapeshot 4 жыл бұрын

What are you talkin about PC. Glory was written by a white boy oh I know. Especially that BULLSHIT part about white soldiers going off to fight to free black people. Besides a few of the New England regiments. The majority of the white soldiers in the Union Army when it came down to black people range from indifference to outright hatred. Especially the regiments from the Midwest and those that had a lot of Irish soldiers in their regiments.

I think because the buffalo was a staple in America...so they couldn't call them Indian soldiers, for obvious and maybe not so obvious reasons, then through relativity they where dubbed "The Buffalo Soldiers"... jmo...These folks didn't come from Africa, these ppl are not the same, they came from the same plains and prairies as the American Buffalo...💪🏾😁🤜🏾

I realize this is not politically correct, but my great grandfather was Lakota. He was born in 1870. He stated they used the name " Buffalo Soldier" to identify the soldiers with brown skin and curly black hair from the wasecu. There is no historical evidence that the African-American soldiers ever referred to themselves as Buffalo Soldiers . Oh, and " Glory" was a good movie, but flogging was outlawed in the army in 1861. Denzel Washington would have probably been branded on his forehead with a d for desertion. If he had deserted under-fire he would have been shot.

@grapeshot 4 жыл бұрын

But we also know that black regiments during the Civil War were treated very harshly when it came down to discipline. And just because the Army outlaw flogging in 1861 doesn't mean that commanders still didn't use it. And no matter how they got the name Buffalo Soldier it's stuck.

Go and look up the real history of the Moors in Europe. Many of the moors were african muslims, and they enslaved white christians from europe, had them in chains, dragged them across the mediterranean sea, treated them horrendously etc. And all of that BEFORE the trans-atlantic slave trade. Black people are not victims anymore than anybody else and have had their share of oppressing others and their own also.
