Karen Decker, the US top ranked diplomat in Afghanistan, advised women being oppressed by the Taliban government “to ‘bone up’ on Black History Month and learn from Beyonce and Lizzo, both of whom overcame racism in America to become top performers in the music industry.”
Whether Afghan women could similarly over come oppression from Islamic tyranny seems doubtful. Under the Taliban’s rule women are banned from appearing outside their homes without the permission of their husbands or fathers. In public they can be charged with indecency if not properly covered. They can be beaten, imprisoned, or ritually murdered by male relatives for trying to assert any independence. More overt protests against this oppression are brutally suppressed by police.
State Department spokesman Ned Price called Decker’s remarks “ignorant and childish. Afghan women lack the legal rights and protections under US law that allowed Beyonce and Lizzo the freedom to pursue their own path to happiness and financial success. Urging them to act as if they do is apt to intensify their misery.”
Decker apologized for her inane remarks, saying “I wasn’t aware that the women in Afghanistan are essentially chattel without the human rights we take for granted. No one briefed me on that before I was sent here.”

She’s an embarrassment
Its the “ugly American” - 21st century woke-style.
What an idiotic dolt. Afghans aren’t black, most of them are quite light. The Afghan women who live in my neighborhood are quite good-looking, nothing like the fat loudmouthed black clowns they have on TV.
I’m wondering if she was just really really drunk? That’s the only thing that makes sense.
Did they have to overcome being stoned to death at a soccer stadium during halftime?
“I wasn’t aware that the women in Afghanistan are essentially chattel without the human rights we take for granted. No one briefed me on that before I was sent here.”
You gotta be briefed?
Wouldn’t that be cultural appropriation? That would be grounds for a whole new invasion.
Being sloshed would be an improvement. This is an actual member of the diplomatic corps. Was she a diversity hire? They needed a fat, stupid woman to say all the stupid things.
In public they can be charged with indecency if not properly covered.
+++++
That cancels out both Beyonce and Lizzo as role models.
She is truly stupid and a moron.
The pig isn’t even in Afghanistan. It’s in Doha, Qatar getting fatter.
