10 Black Commandments - Keys to Power

What do you think Black people need to improve their condition in this country? I’m genuinely asking you a sincere question and want to hear your response.

Listen, I've been Black for a hot minute now and let me tell you, it's a wild ride.  it’s a dope and dangerous experience. It’s dope because we are worldwide trendsetters. Very few things get a green light for public consumption without the approval of the Melanated Ones. History has shown us that whether in fashion, music, or commerce, whatever we do, we revolutionize it and other ethnic groups imitate us.

It’s dangerous for a multitude of reasons; one being we haven’t learned to harness our influence to benefit our people as a group. If we aren’t using it to benefit ourselves then someone is using it to their advantage and by default to our detriment. It’s mainly dangerous because we do not see ourselves as one people yet. We privately and publicly mistreat each other, which makes it easier for other groups to mistreat us. We are fighting battles within and without. However, we can make the experience better. For things to change, Black people must unite.

To truly overcome the challenges we face, we must first conquer the enemy within. One of the main things I’ve noticed among Blacks in America and Europe is that we lack a set of shared values and goals that guide our actions and behaviors. We must overcome individualism, cultural mistrust, and a broken value system. With this in mind, we have created the 10 Black Commandments as a set of guidelines that, if followed by the Black community as a whole, will make us unstoppable.

These values can help us to strengthen ourselves, our families, and our community as a whole. They can also serve to honor God and our ancestors while paving the way to better days for future generations.
