Phil Collins' battle of the Alamo: Genesis frontman is caught in US race row after his donation of £10m worth of memorabilia for museum is accused of 'glorifying myth of a handful of whites against a Mexican horde'

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Collins, 70, has been obsessed since childhood with the battle and even believes he is a reincarnation of one of those defenders

The Genesis frontman donated his hoard is weapons, clothing, letters and other artefacts from the legendary siege of the Alamo of 1836

Critics argue the collection helps perpetuate a narrative that focuses only on the battle's white leaders and ignores Latinos, Native Americans and black figures

Dunno about blacks and Injuns, except for Travis' slave, Joe, but the rest were considered Texians. The white ones intermarried cheerfully with the Texicans. Juan Seguin would have died with Davy Crockett and William Barrett Travis and Jim Bowie and the rest, had he not been sent to bring reinforcements and the "Never Surrender" message to Sam Houston. Juana Navarro Alsbury was the one who warned the defenders of Santa Anna's approach. Gregorio Esparza's brother was on the Mexican side. His brother Francisco was given permission to give him a decent burial.

#1 Texas was one of six? states that revolted against Tyranny in the Mexican Government. Racemongers should ask themselves why only one made it through to independence.

#2 I'm pretty sure Mexicans are overwhelmingly Caucasian as well, so framing it in racial terms defined the authpr as racist hate mongerer.

#3 So, we're going to put up statues of Santa Anna? Wait until they look at his high school yearbook.
