Kabul: In an appeal to Beyonce and Lizzo to support her cause, the US ambassador to Afghanistan claimed that the hashtag "#BlackGirlMagic" could enhance the lives of Afghan women. She received online mockery for her suggestion.

Karen Decker has repeatedly and vehemently denounced the Taliban for excluding women from universities and repressing female activists since taking over as Chargé d'Affaires at the US Mission to Afghanistan in Qatar last year.

On Wednesday, Decker, who frequently tweets about black activism in the US, said that Afghans might find inspiration in American 'woke' culture.

She questioned, "Are Afghans aware of #BlackGirlMagic and the movement it sparked?" "Do Afghan girls require a movement like this? Which Afghan women? I'm ready to learn; teach me.

Decker tweeted with the names of the musicians Lizzo and Beyonce as well as the actress Regina King.

Decker's tweet, "How did we ever lose that war?" drew hundreds of comments mocking it, to which the Columbia Bugle, a right-wing news outlet, responded. Congressman Mike Waltz from Florida tweeted, "I'm speechless," as another commenter said, "Caligula making his horse a senator was less laughable than this."

What on earth is this? Tweeted Donald Trump Jr. Apparently the Afghanistan fiasco hasn't made the Biden administration look bad enough already.

The hashtag #BlackGirlMagic, which gained popularity around 2016, does not suggest that black women are endowed with magical abilities that could somehow help Afghanistan. Instead, it is posted alongside images of attractive African-Americans on social media to highlight the accomplishments of black women. Democratic Party activists used the phrase in 2016 in an effort to increase the turnout of black female voters, who consistently support the party.

After a two-decade occupation, the US ended its military presence in Afghanistan in August 2021. After the final American aircraft left Kabul, the US-funded Afghan National Army was destroyed in the face of advancing Taliban fighters, and the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan.
