Los Diablos Tejanos
Damn straight
your ignorant ass takes Hollywood westerns for historical reality.
the word, the gear and the practices came from northern Mexico. cowboys were low caste, maybe up to half of the cowboys in Texas in the 19th century were non-white.
Los Diablos Tejanos
Damn straight
“The morality of this opening border warfare was meaningless, because morality could only be defined within a culture, never across two cultures. The moral, upstanding Comanche who lived by the laws and gods of his tribe enjoyed heaping live coals on a staked-out white man’s genitals… The moral Texan, who lived in peace and amity with his fellows, would bash an Indian infant’s head against a tree, or gut-shoot a “greaser” if he blinked. Relations between disparate cultures were to be determined, as always, by the relative strength and weakness of each, and by the dynamic or regressive nature displayed by Anglos, Indians, and Mexicans. Relations could not be governed by individual, internal ethics or morals any more than history had been determined by such parameters in the past. The great change the frontier Texan made from the Anglo-American mainstream in these years was the real, if unarticulated, understanding that his enemies were “different.”

ah, yes, the invasion of Mexico
do you have a point, Darrin?
Yes. Life was different 100 years ago.
how so?
are you comparing the post-revolutionary period to the early twentieth century period covered by the book mentioned in the OP?
if life was different a hundred years ago, imagine how much more so 170 years ago.
You have been quite snappy the last few days. What's wrong sweetie
Obviously the return carriage not working on the old e-typewriter, only the "post" function.
He's just drunk.
you're asking for the dead to be more mindful of what they did 100 yrs ago? yeah, that ain't gonna work. live in the present. am i reading this wrong?
Nope.
I was making fun of the living for calling Texas history that makes them uncomfortable "divisive."
Yeah, you were were triggered at the mention of the Texas Rangers racist slaughter of Tejanos.
Because it was real.
What's your angle here? Why the random history lesson?
