President-elect Joe Biden's nomination of Linda Thomas-Greenfield would elevate a Black woman and career foreign service official to the high-profile position.

She would bring a markedly different tone and presence to the international body, which the Trump administration has derided and denigrated. The move was first reported by the"If true, amazing news!" tweeted Tom Perriello, a former Democratic congressman and diplomat. He said Thomas-Greenfield is"a diplomatic powerhouse respected around the world. I’ve witnessed her getting human rights activists freed and kleptocrats held accountable.

Thomas-Greenfield was U.S. ambassador to Liberia from 2008 to 2012, and she has also served in numerous other posts around the world, from Kenya to Pakistan. In the Obama administration, Thomas-Greenfield served as the assistant secretary of state for African affairs, leading U.S. policy toward sub-Saharan Africa. She oversaw economic empowerment initiatives as well as peace, security and governance matters.

Prior to that appointment, Thomas-Greenfield was a top human resources official at the State Department.

So it takes a white man in power to elevate a black woman? That’s the image you want to project? Her gender and skin tone aren’t relevant. What’s important are her qualifications for the position.

Yeah, Condoleezza Rice must not have counted.

The headline makes me think that the only reason to elevate her was because she was black since you make that the defining point. How very racist of you all to do such a thing.

*yawn*

Oh? Like CondoleezzaRice

Black women secured the election and will continue to have a role in this administration. Congrats Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield.

Joe Biden is not President elect according to the Constitution(by law), Congress(by law) and Hillary Clinton (by precedent).....you people are committing treason and still committing fraud..

Yeah I don't care about her skin colour, it literally has no relevance. What are her policies and beliefs - you know, the only things that matter?

DONT CALL IT A POWERHOUSE. MAYBE ITS A RUN DOWN ONE!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let’s see it will be just a joke made by Joe😂 He never be a president but go to jail at last!

When will we talk about his cognitive decline and inability to lead? He is in charge of our foreign policy and nuclear codes? That is terrifying.

😄Prez-elect👌🏽😉 M$m usat

Pete would be a better pic

Till now, Biden has not been elected president by legal national declaration. Why call that. There is a playing words by media companies got cash.

Why are her race and genitalia so important to you?

Biden lost due to Voter Fraud! Dems cheated in Swing States & more. Media's saying Biden in Transition to distract from contested election. Trump won! Dominion Software update cheats for Dems, Ballots Stolen, Harvested & brought in late, GOP unable to view Count & the Dead voted.
