The Biden State Department this month named its first ever special representative for racial equity and justice.
The newly minted envoy, Desirée Cormier Smith, once slammed white diplomats for being overly "protective" of the United States and lacking the "empathy" of their minority counterparts.
Smith, a self-described "Black activist," made the comments in an October 2020 interview. At the time, Smith served as senior policy adviser for Open Society Foundations, the think tank funded by Democratic billionaire donor George Soros. The State Department on Friday announced Smith’s appointment to the post, which was created to "confront systemic racism and injustice around the world." The State Department described Smith as a "racial justice expert with a deep and steadfast commitment to equity and justice for all."
Smith may have to temper her racially charged views in her new role. The State Department prohibits statements that show "hostility toward an individual because of his or her race." Department guidelines also prohibit discriminatory harassment in the form of "racial epithets, ‘jokes,' offensive or derogatory comments, or other verbal or physical conduct based on an individual's race/color."
In an interview with the Black Diplomats podcast, Smith discussed her earlier work as a foreign service officer. She said her white colleagues displayed an "ownership" mentality when awarding visas to foreign applicants. White diplomats, Smith said, "were so protective of the United States, and they didn't want anybody who could sully the image of the United States because it's this perfect shining city on a hill."
"We also come with a certain humility that I would say that a lot of white foreign service officers lack," Smith said of her fellow minority diplomats. "We approached it with so much more empathy."
Smith has spoken openly about her activist role at Foggy Bottom, where she has served as senior adviser in the Bureau of International Organization Affairs.
"Black activists like myself are still working through the United Nations to defend human rights and freedoms for all," Smith wrote in a column for the Grio in March. She said she worked "relentlessly" to elect a critical race theory scholar, Justin Hansford, to the United Nations Permanent Forum of People of African Descent.
Smith is not the only Biden State Department official to come under fire for controversial statements.
Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, the department’s chief diversity and inclusion officer, complained in a 2020 podcast interview about the "white male-dominated" national security field. She said that as a minority woman, she was "probably better prepared than my male colleagues, certainly my European-American colleagues."
Jalina Porter, who until recently served as deputy spokeswoman at Foggy Bottom, has said the "largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S. cops." Porter left the State Department earlier this month.
“working relentlessly” to f#ck Americans.
She sure doesn’t look very black. Maybe she’s a Rachel Dolezal
This needs to go viral.
Well, Biden is wholly owned by Red China; he works for them.
I despise these people.
So Biden hired a whole bunch of anti-american retards....what else is new?
By her retarded attempt at logic:
A football team should not be interested in making plays to win the game.
A company employee should give away company secrets to a competitor.
A husband should not feel compelled to be faithful to his wife.
A military leader should give his army’s weapons to the enemy. Kind of like Bidet did on Afghanistan...
It will be great fun to watch this racist interact with its European equivalents.
I lived in Germany for 2 1/2 years and met people from other countries and let me tell you this: they do not like blacks.
Blacks are okay as entertainers but outside of that, they don’t want to be around them or have them in their countries.
Persons in government that do not put the best interests for America first, need to go back to the private sector. Or better yet- move to whatever utopia they think they’ll find.
How can anyone like America too much? It’s a likeable place, always improving, striving to perfect itself. For example, comes 2025, this idiot will be out on her a@@.
Who do they work for ace?
Assuming by then that WW3 hasn’t started and we all end up with permanent orange afros.
She’s another example of a person that is likely half-White, (very light complexion) and because of that, they harbor bizarre self-loathing feelings towards that side of their ethnicity. In order to “atone” for being so White, they then manifest a full-on embrace of what they believe to be “hyper-Black” positions on issues (CRT, systemic anti-Black racism everywhere, America is evil), to become (in their minds) a “Super Negro.”
While this is not true of everyone of mixed-race heritage, a premier example of this derangement is Colin Kapernick. They become the most egregious racists and America-haters.
I wouldn’t mind having two heads, green scales, two genders like an earth worm, or knees that bend backwards on all ten of my legs. But orange afros? There I draw the line!
In 2025, President Trump will have a lot of housecleaning chores at the State Dept.
