I believe as many children should be taught in their mother tongue for as long as possible, and at least until they are proficient in a second language, but forcing students to learn what they donât want to do is the same as what sparked the Soweto riots in 1976.
The REAL âLone Rangerâ Was An African American Lawman Who Lived With Native American Indians. The real âLone Ranger,â it turns out, was an African American man named Bass Reeves, who the legend was based upon. Perhaps not surprisingly, many aspects of his life were written out of the story, including his ethnicity.
Most people also know that the portrayal of Tonto as the Lone Rangerâs sidekick is often stereotypical and racist. Tontoâs fictionalized story was far from the only racist part of the adaptation of the Lone Rangerâs life. The Lone Ranger was very real, but he was not the white man seen on movies and TV. The Lone Ranger was an escaped slave named Bass Reeves. Reeves was born into captivity in 1838.
