Are Afghans familiar with #BlackGirlMagic and the movement it inspired? Do Afghan girls need a similar movement? What about Afghan Women? Teach me, ready to learn. #BlackHistoryMonth @Beyonce @lizzo @ReginaKing

The current top-ranking U.S. diplomat to Afghanistan asked famous African American women on Twitter to teach her about “#BlackGirlMagic,” wondering if Afghan women and girls needed a movement like the one it inspired.

The #BlackGirlMagic movement and its frequently used social media hashtag promote black female empowerment, according to WUSA9. Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Mission to Afghanistan Karen Decker asked in a Wednesday tweet whether Afghans were “familiar with #BlackGirlMagic and the movement it inspired,” continuing, “Do Afghan girls need a similar movement? What about Afghan Women?”

[Idiocy. Sheer idiocy. What Afghan girls needed was to be NOT abandoned by the Biden administration to the Taliban. Now what they need is a miracle rescue from its misogynistic dictatorship. And all the Biden administration can offer is a hashtag. As my colleague Katie Pavlich put it … — Ed]

How absolutely embarrassing. Afghan girls can’t go to school, show their faces or travel without male escorts. https://t.co/QewLnlAYeJ
