Decker posed what might be the greatest question of our time, and the response to it could hold the answer to peace in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre Afghans familiar with #BlackGirlMagic and the movement it inspired?\u201d The woman who \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/af.usembassy.gov\/our-relationship\/our-ambassador\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specializes in conflict resolution and crisis management<\/a>\u201d Twitter account for the State Department in Afghanistan \u201cDo Afghan girls need a similar movement? What about Afghan Women? Teach me, ready to learn. @Beyonce @lizzo @ReginaKing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The obvious answer is no. Afghans do not know how to use it. \u201c#BlackGirlMagic.\u201d Most people probably aren&#8217;t. The hashtag was created in 2016 to encourage positivity among black females.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re using it to celebrate ourselves because historically black women haven\u2019t had the type of support that other groups have,\u201d Cashawn Thompson, a Washington, D.C., caregiver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/blogs-trending-35263240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The BBC<\/a> At the time. \u201cBlack Girl Magic tries to counteract the negativity that we sometimes hold within ourselves and is sometimes placed on us by the outside world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the phrase has been shared thousands upon thousands on social media.<\/p>\n<p>This author clicked the hashtag to see more details. The top result was a video showing a curvaceous, black woman bent on her fours on the ground and looking at the camera. The tweet was shared by user: \u201cThe hips spread out when she takes backshots #BlackGirlMagic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, this author has no idea what that means, but it isn\u2019t tough to guess that it is about something pornographic. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart summed it up: \u201cYou know it when you see it.\u201d It is obvious that the post will not be shared.<\/p>\n<p>It is likely that Decker did not envision this in Afghanistan. It is likely that she is asking about starting a new hashtag movement to help women who are being oppressed by Islamic Extremist totalitarians.<\/p>\n<p>In reaction to Decker\u2019s idea, the conservative writer and editor Christoper Bedford bluntly observed, \u201cWe are not a serious country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are not a serious nation. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MbOEFS6Bdc\">https:\/\/t.co\/MbOEFS6Bdc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Christopher Bedford (@CBedfordDC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBedfordDC\/status\/1625908088288030720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Popular Twitter user @ComfortablySmug tweeted, \u201cWe are ruled by administrative class paper pushers like this, who think every problem can be solved by listening to a Beyonce song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are ruled by administrative class paper pushers like this, who think every problem can be solved by listening to a Beyonce song<\/p>\n<p>Is it a mystery why the Taliban took Afghanistan in a week?<\/p>\n<p>Or why China sends balloons over America?<\/p>\n<p>Because their opponent is literally a Karen <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZfNG5cWqux\">pic.twitter.com\/ZfNG5cWqux<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ComfortablySmug\/status\/1625913850498277376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it a mystery why the Taliban took Afghanistan in a week? Or why China sends balloons over America? Because their opponent is literally a Karen,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, since the Taliban took over the country in less than three days after Biden botched U.S. troop withdrawal, women have faced a living hell.<\/p>\n<p>In early January, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-admin-struggles-to-respond-to-taliban-crackdown-on-women-dissent-in-afghanistan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that the terror group has enacted a series of strict laws, especially restricting women\u2019s freedom. In December, Taliban leaders banned women from attending universities in the country. Women are also under other strict regulations, such as a rule banning them from traveling outside their homes without a male guardian.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, State Department spokesman Ned Price told the media, \u201cWe are working with our partners throughout the government and also with like-minded partners around the world to devise an appropriate set of consequences that register our condemnation for this outrageous edict on the part of the Taliban, while also protecting our status as the world\u2019s leading humanitarian provider for the people of Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It now seems the big solution might be a hashtag. What doesn\u2019t really make sense is calling on Lizzo for this job. The larger-than-life singer has claimed she is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/how-did-lizzo-go-from-being-oppressed-to-playing-james-madisons-flute-while-twerking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oppressed<\/a> in America as a female. So what would her message be to women who actually have no freedoms?<\/p>\n<p>One should hope we never find out and that the U.S. government creates a better solution than #BlackGirlMagic for the situation at hand.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again, this author is forced to clarify to The Daily Wire audience that they are not reading The Babylon Bee.
