Every day, I hear black people brag about how intelligent we are, not to mention how informed we are, coming to look at it seems most people are spewing the same rhetoric. Oh it is so easy to know one thing or the other, but to have sophisticated thinking abilities, well that takes certain skills. .. Moreover I don’t think we care about the things that really matter. if 2020 has taught us anything at all it has taught us that politics is a very emotional affair Friendships ended because of politics, families stopped talking to each other, etc. This tells us that politics have very little to do with facts, besides if we want facts, we would have to read and reading is boring. The whole thing is based on who likes who. You would think that in this age of information, many of us would be a little more informed than usual.
This brings me to my topic. Today I’m talking about the World Economic Forum. an event that takes place every year. Let me enlighten you. The World Economic Forum is a meeting of the most powerful people in the world, of course with power comes influence and money. This event as I stated already, happens every year at a place called Davos, in Switzerland. They meet and decide world policy. Every influencer be it an actor, people in positions of power, or just plain rich, etc has been to the World Economic Forum in Davos at one time or another. Arent we curious to know what happens there?? This isn’t a conspiracy theory, and it is hardly a secret at all, they release a report of their meetings every year, and this year’s report is about 100 pages. . Anyone can get a report of these yearly meetings if they so choose, it’s no secret at all. The World Economic Forum even has a website where people can go and read whatever information they want. Again these people shape Global policy.
my question is if these people are the ones responsible for current events in today’s world. why arent we more informed about this??? informed enough to ask questions ??
At the end of the day we are more concerned with things we cannot control, and those things become our natural opium, we are not concerned about policy and where these people are taking the world, some of these powerful people were elected by their nations.

Just to name a few, just anyone who is someone in this world has been to Davos, our own black billionaires have been there, these people shape global policy yet we hardly know that this meeting takes place. I think we should do a better job of being and staying informed. I’m not here to give anyone a history lesson, I’m asking the question of us being more informed about world affairs. Today we have no excuse.
As black people we say we believe in so-called White supremacy, well the first thing about white supremacy is that it is Global and international, if anyone thinks I’m lying all they have to do is look at the institution of slavery, slavery was international, it is almost as if there was an international coordination, and also an international coordination when it was abolished. Other examples are Wall Street, trading, etc. Everything happens globally, the world is too vast and broad for us to limit ourselves to one country. International Affairs is a must.
