Not sure who you're referring to there.

For example, John Hope Bryant is a DD. He preaches black capitalism. You have to listen to him to get the flavor of it. He drops names a lot (that’s a turn-off for me, and makes him sound like a scammer). His good friendship with the Crown Prince of Norway, formed during his Davos visits. He sucks up to European monarchy and nobility as if old money is worth courting. These people have a horrible agenda.

John Hope Bryant has an NGO called HOPE (the egotism) and he has burrowed his way into the Chicago Treasurer’s Office (Melissa Conyears-Ervin, Treasurer, whom I voted for, to my distress). Last year he was allowed on campus at the University of Illinois-Chicago, to show poor people how to build a college fund for their kid with just $10, among other financial nonsense. The treasurer announced that he will be invited back this year.

This means that WEF has another foot in the door of local government in a U.S. city— Although he is not the first (Rahm Immanuel is another one). I expect there are bigger numbers.

NGOs have no place in government!
