PURPOSE

The purpose of 10-10-50 is to spark and stimulate power building activity by a large segment of the African (Black) Community in America and beyond.

The African Community, our community, suffers greatly from a lack of investment and support from us, its members. Far too much of our attention, time, energy, money and spirit is directed at and absorbed by institutions and interest outside of our community. We unknowingly strengthen others and their vital institutions, while giving little thought and effort to our institutional and people development.

The framers of 10-10-50 take the strong position that we alone bear responsibility for the safety and welfare of our people. It is insane and extremely dangerous to depend on entities outside of us for anything vital to our self interest. Such dependency is the mark of a subservient and defeated people. Such is the nature of our past, but not of our sober future. We now know better and we are building a new reality.

The three simple points or steps of 10-10-50 practiced by tens of thousands and millions of our people in America and in other countries and territories changes forever our relationship with ourselves and with all others. Almost any mature member of our community can successfully execute each point or step of 10-10-50. It’s a simple and easy process. It’s also an extremely powerful process when practiced by a sufficient number of our people.

The bottom line and the ultimate deciding factor is what “YOU” will do. You are reading this for yourself and you must decide for yourself if you are in, or out. As you continue to read here and contemplate your response, be challenged to stand tall and be true to what you consider in our best interest. If you view 10-10-50 as positive and an aid to our progress, commit and become an army of one. Practice 10-10-50 and encourage others to do the same.
