State Dept 'racial equity' czar said white colleagues too 'protective of US, lack 'humility, empathy'

A 2020 podcast episode with Desirée Cormier Smith resurfaced after the U.S. State Department appointed her on Friday to serve as the Special

"In an Oct. 24 interview on the “Black Diplomats” podcast Smith joined podcast host Terrell J. Starr and fellow guest Travis Adkins for an episode titled “Trump’s White Supremacist Foreign Policy.” The episode description reads, “What does having a White Supremacist in Chief mean for American relations with the countries in Africa?” and states that the trio “also discuss the advantages of diversity in the diplomatic corps from an insiders perspective, and what it’s going to take to repair the damage done by Tump’s shallow posturing.”

Where in the F do they come up with these useless dbags? Whole dam federal government needs to be fumigated....I mean seriously, why wouldn't a US diplomat be protective of the US? I really loath these people, no way they could make it in the real world.

I would say he did. He quoted the article. His final paragraph definitely implies that he read the last part of the article as well.

If you have a point, make it. You might get him to respond to that. I doubt he responds to a baseless allegation.

“We were joking that it seemed like a lot of our white colleagues approached the visa applicants with so much, almost like ownership over these visas,” Smith said. “And, you know, they were so protective of the United States and they didn’t want anybody who could sully, you know, the image of the United States or anything like that in, because it was like this perfect shining city on the hill.”

By contrast, Smith said she and her black former colleague “approached it with so much more empathy.” She said in one encounter, she met a woman who was trying to obtain a visa to visit Disneyland with her family.

“If you are a white foreign service officer, coming from a very wealthy background, two-parent household, never knew what it meant to struggle or have to save for a trip to Disneyland, you might automatically assume that there’s no way this woman is going to use this visa properly,” Smith said. “She only wants to use this tourist visa so that she can cross the border and set up an illegal life in America. And it’s that kind of lens, that kind of empathy that black foreign service officers — and not all of us, because let’s be clear, not all skin folk are kinfolk, right — but some of us, because of our lived experiences, we just have a greater understanding and appreciation for experiences outside of the U.S.”


Do you kinda get what she’s saying???

Yes, she is racist and sexist.

 

[ClintonDavidScott]

Yes, she is racist and sexist.

That’s certainly possible and a fair argument. Is it also certainly possible they might be???
