An observation from a local resident

This is one man’s observation and one man’s opinion about the knowledge of Black-on-Black history and behavior between each other.
“No White” came from the ships of Africa and continued onto Martin Luther King and then from there to the present.
I must stress that this time of events was during the era when people could leave the doors open and share food. My childhood was that as a child with a silver spoon in his mouth. I was a sharecropper’s son during segregation and had no dealing with the Whites. My life was free, uninhibited.
In 1956, when I was 13 years old, it was the first time seeing my dad and other Black men and White men at the same time, and those Black men showed submission. But, dad had shielded us from that, and I didn’t have that submission. These Black men gravitated toward the White men and stood there grown man to man with each other.
That soon became my ambition with an obsession to follow and solve on the Black side. With this training and without that submissive behavior, I thrived in the military and there after in the world. But, I had to come home to see about our Black-on-Black situation around my people who know me. That Black-on-Black situation could not be talked about because of the Black-on-Black situation.
Thank you, Father God, for putting me in this cross fire of that sound foundation of old that brought us to the mountain top and the promised foundation of living on the mountain, which is not of ourselves and without that molded submissive behavior to liberty and justice for all with no respect of person.
Thank you for your mercy and grace.
Amen.
