New in PJ Media:
The Foreign Service ought to be dedicated to defending America’s interests and securing the safety and rights of American citizens around the world. But this is the Biden administration, and so a considerably more woke agenda takes precedence over all that. The awe-inspiringly tone-deaf U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Karen B. Decker is the U.S. envoy of wokeness to Afghanistan, demonstrating once again the twisted priorities of the rogue regime in Washington.
Ever since Biden’s handlers’ catastrophically botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, we haven’t had an embassy there, but the U.S. government does maintain a Mission to Afghanistan that is based in Doha, Qatar. It’s ostensibly dedicated to using “every diplomatic, economic, political, and assistance tool at our disposal to uphold the basic rights of all Afghans,” as well as supporting “continued humanitarian access to the country” and ensuring that “the Taliban honors its commitments.” Heading up all this is Decker, a “career member of the Senior Foreign Service” who “specializes in conflict resolution and crisis management.” But from the looks of her Twitter feed, Decker specializes more intensely in spectacularly tone-deaf woke blather that has nothing whatsoever to do with Afghanistan’s current plight or with any realistic appraisal of the global situation.
Decker recently posted a series of tweets that make it clear that while she is supposed to be America’s envoy to Afghanistan, she is really more of an ambassador of wokeism. When she began to be mocked and criticized for the tweets, she deleted them, but the damage had already been done. Decker demonstrated that she knows or cares nothing about Afghan culture and mores, and sees the country through a Western woke lens that colors all her perceptions.
On Feb. 12, she tweeted: “Abe Lincoln born today in 1809. He did some stuff. It’s also NAACP Day – home of grassroots activism, inclusive communities and making sure Black voices are heard. What does that look like for Afghans struggling to be heard?” The sneering dismissal of Lincoln is bad enough, but the closing question is even worse. Afghans struggling to be heard today under the Taliban regime do not and cannot engage in “grassroots activism.” There are no “inclusive communities” in Afghanistan. Those who do not like what the Taliban is doing mysteriously disappear or are forced to flee the country.
The following day, Decker tweeted: “Super Bowl LVII. 2 elite QBs who happen to be Black made history in epic showdown. Congrats to @Chiefs for thrilling victory! Afghans – what’s the most exciting sports match you remember? #BlackHistoryMonth” With women barred from getting an education and the weapons that the United States left behind making their way to jihad terror groups in Pakistan and India, one would think that the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires for Afghanistan would have more sense than to ask Afghans about exciting sports matches, but no such luck.
There is more. Read the rest here.

What relative in government( federal elected local state elected ect ), or relative in some company that the government has a big contract with is this woke idiot related to? Does this Biden administration hire anyone that does not make this country look and sound like idiots run it? There is little someone working outside of Afghanistan can do for the women who live there that are treated no better then livestock by their male relatives husbands ,fathers, brothers and uncles ect. .At least have someone that has some kind of understanding of the cultural ,religion ,what people who live in mudhuts stuck in the 10 century have to put up with. What makes her think that the Afghan give a rats ass about American black history month ,or past history of slavery in America? She lacks the knowledge that slavery is a perfectly accepted in Islamic cultural ,that people in Islam are foolish not to enslave people who are not Moslem if the Moslems can be in that position with superior numbers and military might.. This one world we are really all alike .in spite of cultural, religion, and our social norms ,that have in many case been proven with thousands of years of history we are very different. In many cases violence is very acceptable in some cultures to convert ,enslave ,or kill people who are different then you. Islam is one of those political ,cultural ,and religious cults that believe that.

They should send them there, and I hope that the Taliban executes them for being unislamic
wpm says
If we sent them their they would be make sex slaves for their short miserable lives .They could experience real oppression and real Islamic culture first hand. It is a win, win for them they could experience real Islamic cultural by people who hate western cultural and all it stands for.
Keith O says
WPM, Have you looked at this woman??
Even a barbaric taliban thug would have to be very desperate to want to turn her into a sex slave.
James Lincoln says
Yes.
She’s pudgy and frumpy, Keith O.
OLD GUY says
Maybe they would make her ware the full head and face cover hijab to make her sellable as a sex slave.
Billy Corr says
Some good Afghan hash would change your mind within half an hour, Keith, my friend . . .
wpm says
She is better looking then the poor goats and mules they chase around ,and I bet she does not bit or kick as hard as they do when caught!
somehistory says
“exciting sports match “….that’s the one where they ride their mules or whatever those animals are, and hit goat heads around as if they are playing polo.
The woman is a fool. Especially since she should have learned a thing or two from having been to that country before this. But, what can one expect when one sees others in the “administration” demonstrating brainlessness?
They can’t send a person who would show them up for the idiots they are.
Billy Corr says
The curious fact is that this ninny actually does have on-the-ground experience in Afghanistan:

What has this silly silly ”woman” have to do with anything inside Afghanistan as Ive always noticed the President seem more concerned about other countries far far away from the USA than he does for actually Americans that he lies to every day.
As trump once said… My job is to look after America, every other country can get in line.
This ”female” would look wonderful in a Burqa.
