How Incorporating Black American Opinions Can Reshape US Foreign Policy and Strengthen Global Relations

A Cautionary Tale for US Foreign Policy

Black Voices and US Foreign Policy

Congresswoman Barbara Lee stood alone against a big decision about how America uses its military power after 9/11. She thought carefully because she represents people from different backgrounds. Many Black Americans like Lee have a history of being careful about when and where the U.S. should use its military around the world, according to The National Interest.

Black Americans often spoke up early when they didn’t agree with how the U.S. government was using its military. They were worried about the costs of wars both in money and in lives lost. From past wars like Korea and Vietnam to more recent ones like Afghanistan and Iraq. Black voices have shown a pattern of caution when it comes to US Foreign Policy.

Enhancing US Foreign Policy Decision-Making

As America faces new challenges in the world it’s important for policymakers to listen to what Black Americans think about how the U.S. uses its military. They can make smarter choices about when and where to get involved in other country problems. By including these voices the U.S. can build a better Foreign Policy that reflects what its people really want and keeps everyone safer.
