Do we know today how high the percentage of black cowboys was? I could imagine classic western movies have lied to us in that department too ...

No idea on numbers, but considering IRL cowboys were poor folks doing hard work nobody else wanted to do...probably quite a few black men 0-3 generations removed from slavery.
