Biden diplomat apologizes for saying Afghan women need 'Black Girl Magic' and to learn from Beyonce and Lizzo under Taliban leadership
Daily Mail ^ | 16 February 2023 | By MORGAN PHILLIPS

Karen Decker, the top U.S. diplomat to Afghanistan, said in a now-deleted tweet that Afghan women needed some 'Black Girl Magic' while being oppressed under Taliban rule.

She added celebrities like Beyonce and Lizzo might be able to share wisdom with Afghan women, who have been essentially shut out of school and work entirely since the Taliban takeover.

Decker, the Chargé d'Affaires of the U.S. Mission to Afghanistan, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: 'Are Afghans familiar with #BlackGirlMagic and the movement it inspired? Do Afghan girls need a similar movement? What about Afghan Women?'

She was right the first time. There was no need to apologize. Those Taliban pussies need an @ss kicking. Only folks they can dominate are little girls and women. What a pathetic religion

OK, I doubt if the Taliban are going to take seriously anything Karen Decker, chief American diplomat in Afghanistan is going to say, since they don’t listen to women in the first place and likely don’t take Biden all that seriously either.

And secondly, what is she saying? That the oppression experienced by women in Afghanistan is somehow similar to the ‘oppression’ faced by ‘black girls’ in America?

The Taliban may be jerks, but consider, they drove the U.S.S.R. out of their nation as well as the U.S.A. And their great great grandfathers did the same to the Brits. Don’t know who you send in to give them an @ss kicking.

How much time have you served in Afghanistan? Those Taliban “pussies” as you call them, defeated the Soviets, defeated moderate Afghani governments thrice, and defeated the USA and its allies.

Now tell me how “Black Girl Magic,” whatever the hell that is, is going to fair once its adherents run into the reality of being stoned to death?

The IDIOT Charge d’ Affaires didn’t realize the translation of her utterance into any other language without understanding American usage, literally means witchcraft: to a very superstitious culture that kills witches on the spot.

This woman is a senior diplomat. I knew the DoS was a mess - probably always has been - but this is new low territory.

I think the lesson is that unless you're willing to start at one end of the country and work to the other, killing every living thing in between, don't bother.

Glad I read down to your post before posting that exact thought myself.

Why not pass out pens that say “F*** Putin?”
(Former ambassador to the Ukraine did that, or so she says. I didn’t get one when I was there).

Also, it appeared to me that security at the US Embassy was contracted out to Ukrainians. If it’s like that in Afghanistan (is the embassy still there?), she should be extremely careful what she says.

Is there any official in the Biden administration that is NOT a kook, a crook, a pervert, a weirdo, or a moron?

I think that is what she is saying, but it may have been a tad more effective if she didn’t use two U.S. multi-millionaires as examples of oppression.

I’d give Al-Qaeda most of the credit for those first two feats.

She get’s the prize for most Dumb A** politician remark of the week. Usually, it’s Biden or Karina or Adam Kinzinger.
