So just leave the "Lone Ranger" white because he fits your idea of the Lone Ranger, rather than the historical one...ok, whatever.

There is much evidence out there that Bass Reeves was the basis for the Lone Ranger and yes he was Black...

Just one link, but there are a million out there (as well as 3 or 4 books) if you want to read about him.

And yes, Tonto is Spanish for "fool."

As an aside, I was well pleased with this Timeless episode. I thought they did a really good job of digging into history that not very many people know.
