Meet the ‘Radical Brownies’ – girl scouts for the modern age

[Michelle420]

In the Radical Brownies, girls learn about social justice movements such the Black Panthers and the Chicano group Brown Berets. They wear their brown berets in homage to those two groups. But they also study how Disney princesses define girls’ image of beauty, and how that can affect self-image.

The Radical Brownies have their own badge system, including one for “Radical Beauty” and an “LGBT ally” badge. The girls also earned a “Black Lives Matter” badge after learning about police accountability and attending a civil rights march in Oakland.

“I think it’s never too early to have these conversations with young people,” Martinez told Fusion.

“Children are more aware than we think; it’s important to not shelter children from real issues that we’re living,” she said. “It’s especially important for young girls of color to feel empowered.”

I guess it is evil to be a woman. The left wants to turn all women into men.

Nuts.

Nuts.

Do men study how Disney princesses define girls’ image of beauty, and how that can affect self-image.

Do men, have their own badge system, including one for “Radical Beauty” and an “LGBT ally” badge. ?

Matthew, you stereotype all women and never hold some men accountable.

Some men reject women, some men don't want to marry or have kids, the same is true about some women.

How is this turning women into men?

I see them turning kids into social activists for whatever their cause is.

There was a time that a young girl would of said yuck to being a boy.

How is social activism being a boy?

Wherever did you get the idea that activism is only for men?

Omg "would of" again. After freaking years Matthew Goddamit!

And btw the time you would like us to go back to is despicable.

Teaching kids racism.....it makes progressives so proud. Brings a tear to the eye for progressive race baiters like OldSchool.

Every kid deserves their mother and father. SIngle parent children are disadvantaged children...

This is the number one argument for the environmental factor holding blacks back... 73% single parent. Promoting this shit on everyone else is asking for no less than destruction for our country.

Whether you find it racist or not, has nothing to do with a men only thing.

This has nothing to do with the topic though.

 

[Vigilante]

Now that the Girl Scouts are basically part of Planned Parenthood, all those little darlings can be KNOCKED UP before they are 16 and PP will be happy to get rid of their PROBLEMS, for a FEE, of course! Teaching them right, is the LEFTIST way of doing things!

 

[Michelle420]

They are being girls.

Why are you defining what a girl is supposed to be? You aren't a girl, shouldn't girls define that themselves.

 

[Tom Sweetnam]

Oh aren't they darling. Brings to mind the Soviet Komsomol and Mao's Red Brigade youth "activists" who'd beat their own parents to death if they heard them perpetrating ideological incongruities over the dinner table.

 

[Blackrook]

These brainwashed girls will grow up to be good Communists.

 

[Agit8r]

I thought this was gonna be a weed recipe...

 

[Desperado]

They would be better off selling cookies! I bet sooner or later they might decide the name "Brownies" might be racist.

Young Oakland Girls Called Radical Brownies Learn Social Justice Instead Of Selling Cookies CBS San Francisco

Sounds like all they're learning is how to spread propaganda bullshit.

"OAKLAND (KPIX 5) – After the recent Black Lives Matter protests, there is a new brownie troop in Oakland. Instead of selling cookies, they are spreading a message.

On a Saturday afternoon in Oakland, a handful of 8 to 10 year old girls are gathered, in brown uniforms, giggling and eating cupcakes. They look like Girl Scouts, but it’s not just fun and games.

And it’s not just fun and games. “White policeman are killing black young folks such as women, men and children,” one of the girls said.

Another girl said, “Mike Brown. He was shot because he didn’t do nothing. Only the police officer shot him because of his skin color.”

These girls are called the “Radical Brownies.” And instead of learning sewing, they’re learning social justice.

Even their uniforms have a message.

“The beret, it’s a Black Panther/Brown Beret twist,” one of the Radical Brownies said.

“I think it’s very appropriate. A lot of the work the Black Panthers did was community oriented,” Radical Brownies co-founder Marilyn Hollinquest told KPIX 5."

He didn't do nothing, which means he did, poor grammar and usage....
