This is my knowledge of Black on Black’s history and behavior pattern between each other. Ville Platte observation.
Starting from the ships from Africa, the Blacks have always gravitated. That has been my observation since childhood. It came to an era when Blacks would gather in the back room of the White churches to hear the word. The first Black church was built in the 1700s with a Code Noir Ordinance (CNO). To control the behavior of the Blacks. The church gospel and CNO together formed a coalition between the two parties. The pendulum on the gospel side of the Coalition never stops moving in both parties. On the CNO side of the coalition, Black on Blacks is best explained by your awareness of your heart and soul and your perception of me! Collective is togetherness but most important individually. That is when freedom starts to set in. I am dedicated since being a child to continue growth of the Black race. When I saw for the first time the submissive behavior of my dad and other Black men, my immediate thought was that we as a people had to recognize and revise ourselves. At age 13, in 1955, that has been my goal ever since, to find what needs to be done or undone.
During these centuries of submitting and gravitating, there were many who could not tolerate CNO, before they could leave on there own, they would escape. There were many movements against slavery. Many of those people formed their own cultural foundation.
On the gospel side of the coalition, through submitting and gravitating, the preacher preached to a people generation after generation from CNO of 1700s all the way to Dr. King’s Mountain Top in the 1960s. Submission showed in compliance with the CNO side of the coalition. Gravitate in this sense is the effort Americans use or strive for excellence.
The Tuskegee Airmen gravitate above all odds. They not only mastered the flighting of the plane but accomplished their missions with excellence. I appreciate my dad’s upbringing. He and the other Black men were community leaders. They were heads of the house and the churches from the 1950s to 1962. They and the White man had molded a relationship of humanity and mutual respect. I saw no malice between them. I understood that at least three generations before me had similar upbringing. We were free from outside restraints and free from thieves and mischiefs in the neighborhood. I am driving a brand-new Ford at 17 years old.
A White man pointed me in the right direction at the beginning of my adult life. I went out with the Ville Platte upbringing and lived the mountain top life. I returned to Ville Platte in 1992 and lived it here. All with the White people.
On the gospel side of the coalition, I went out (20 years old in 1962) directly in line with the Constitution, directly in line with Dr. King’s non-violence movement. And directly in line with Dr. King’s vision on the mountain top. “I do not want you to give me anything. Open the door. I will get it myself!” I expect that Dr. King had been living that life on the gospel side and was aware of the laws and by the laws that he had to see about. I was just getting started in adulthood in the military watching him cross Selma’s bridge. My oath was I will serve my country with all my heart and soul, and I will do what I want and go where I want within man’s law and God’s commandments, and so I did!
The Mountain Top was achieved then. The gospel side of Black men free from all outside restraints. Dr. King’s movement gave rise to other voices that overshadowed Dr. King’s non-violence.
Back to my calling, Black on Black. All Ville Platte people who know of me or know me from 60 years back to now, with no respect of person. God love you, and so do I.
On the gospel side, we have reached the Mountain Top.
On the CNO side of the coalition, starting back in the 60s, the bottom kept getting bigger. I knew that Black-on-Black behavior was connected to submissive behavior.
My dad had dislikes for some people that was justified under the CNO but unjustified under the Constitution. His position was strong with an anger I call “the hint.”
This behavior of dislikes is hidden. It could not be spoken of. It is a forever guilty verdict once judgement is set. The unfortunate is just unfortunate. “Another situation like the submission that we have to embrace and fix.”
I had no choice but to submit to the CNO Black-on-Black side of the coalition for knowledge, for our sake and God’s sake.
Sixty years ago, I became obsessed with causing the CNO side of the coalition to three-fifths me just as it three-fifths the unfit, unlearned, the weary etc. It sure did! I was seen in the public with the lowest that the CNO rejected. I have been willingly suffering those darts in my face. The lost is in bad shape under the CNO Black-on-Black. I have seen the faces and the darts, but all go up to Him and back to you.
I believe my work glorifies God for the awareness and knowledge he wants his children to have.
Now it is your turn to revise.
The CNO is not the Mountain Top.
The choice I made 60 years ago to submit to the CNO to know where that hidden and silence dislikes would take us.
Today, we all have that answer in each of our hearts, between you and me.
This is my report at the end of 60 years.
Now, back to just the Mountain Top.
There was loyalty to the coalition on the gospel and the CNO side. On the gospel side, worshipping the same word over centuries had created a bond. There was trust and conversation. My generation had no choice but to grow up with liberty and justice for all. The subject on the news was “separate but equal.” That would have been better for Black people to grow being unified. I, as a Black man, was equal to the White. That was it! Not more or less, just equal. What made us so different was that we had that laughing spirit.
I hope that laughing spirit stays. That was developed by not having civil or worldly responsibility ever. Laughing coincides with CNO. Laughing about one another was hilarious. It is hilarious. Laughing covers the inside character. I kept the inside illuminated until now. We have a vivid inside and outside behavior. I vividly remember, as a teenager, talking together when one said to another, “You cannot do that to me, you’re not White.” That is just another situation we had to embrace and fix.”
The people who did not submit and gravitate had developed their own social foundation. The rappers expressed that in an art form. The foundation was directly in line with the CNO side of the coalition. They blew up with their message to the younger and overshadowed Dr. King’s non-violence, and the Constitution and the foundation onto freedom that had been laid centuries after centuries by those old Black men. Not only did the voices dissolve the equality foundation that had been laid, but the old Black men themselves. I am a witness because I am Black. We are blessed that I am not only Black but am old and Black.
On the mountain top, there is no CNO. No cursing, not laughing at in belittling another man, no deceit, no 3/5 a man. There are no stinking dislikes, which is man’s order, no interfering in another man’s liberty, if you are not his daddy. No ignorance. A man does not ignore another man. All men are created equal. All men do not have the same substance. On the mountain top, there is compassion and charity and honor with lots of respect. No man has the right to dishonor another or someone may sue you and you may lose all your money to charity. That is better than getting shot like people do today. We have learned a brief history of how and why we are where we are. It is only from the mountain top; I could submit to the CNO side of the coalition and serve you in your deepest degradation in the heart that I could produce. He is good because, the same man that submits, the same on the mountain top. I never got off. It is an open door for all. When you make the mountain top, I will know. The CNO rejects come before me.
This is my report from Martin Luther King.
To now.
