Frequently Asked Questions

Blacks United stands for the association of black community.

To build unity among Black People. The reason there is a fee tied to Blacks United is to build trust with other Black People using a nominal amount. Black People in the past have not trusted each other with money. So, $10 per year is used in building trust in this community. The amount is small enough as not to put a burden on the giver and to allow Blacks United to build enough trust in doing exactly what we promise with all the money and that are:

1. All donations are to be deposited into a Black bank and done electronically so, that there are no human hands involved in handling the money. It will help to ensure Blacks United to move in the direction where it says it is going.

2. No money will be withdrawn expect for necessary expenses. Expenses are kept to a minimum in order to have a substantial amount in three (3) years to hold a convention.

3. In three (3) years, Blacks United with hold a convention to:

a) Celebrate the accomplishment of the Unity of Black People

b) To exchange the operation of Blacks United to a shared ownership where the members will decide how Blacks-United.us will operate in the future and;

c) How the money collected (up to the point of the convention) will be utilized and the future plan of action for the organization to move forward.

Any individual can be a member of Blacks United. Any person who pays a minimum $10 can become a member. (NOTE: if a larger amount is donated, that person will be considered a member) There is no restriction on race, religion, political preferences, and nationality to become a member.
