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 its not just fun and games.
And its 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 didnt 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, theyre learning social justice.
Even their uniforms have a message.
The beret, its a Black Panther/Brown Beret twist, one of the Radical Brownies said.
I think its very appropriate. A lot of the work the Black Panthers did was community oriented, Radical Brownies co-founder Marilyn Hollinquest told KPIX 5.
Hollinquest and her friend Anayvette Martinez co-founded the group about a month ago, after Anayvettes daughter Coatlupe told her she wanted to join a girls group.
How amazing would it be to have a girls troop that was really focused around social justice and where girls could even earn badges? Martinez said.
Their first badge, a fist emblazoned with the words Black Lives Matter. They earned it for marching in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Oakland last month.
The girls felt really just like passionate about the topic and they loved being there, Martinez said.
When asked about the big issues they are tackling, Martinez said, They are big issues. But we also feel like these are conversations that theyre not too young to be having.
The Radical Brownies have triggered an avalanche of criticism online, with some accusing the group of brainwashing.
We did strike a nerve. We definitely did strike a nerve, Hollinquest said.
But Hollinquest said they are not telling the girls what to think. Kids already understand fairness and unfairness, so we take that understanding at an age-appropriate level, she said.
The girls said they feel like they are a sisterhood.
Its really good for me because it brings out who I am, one of the girls said.
Martinez said, After this first year, were hoping to be able to support other chapters starting.
In a matter of weeks, the Radical Brownies Facebook page received 10,000 likes. There have been requests from as far away as France and Bermuda to start chapters there.
Der Fuhrer maidens.
Little Brown Shirts.
“Give them a phone, crack, and a list of abortion clinics.”
Bought sums it up.
GSA needs to speak out against this immediately, otherwise they are party to a takeover of a brownie troop for racist and political purposes...
They don’t know any better. They’re just indoctinated little girls reading the scripts the other commie villagers provided for them.
The Future Lesbians Club......
Teaching lies to little girls so they will hate whitey. That is so beneficial to our nation.
Right. Thats a start. Brown shirts, brown shorts, brown shoes brown suspenders, arm bands, and short hair cuts, and some political indoctrimation, and you have a new fringe lunatic left H Y.

I'd call this "Brownie" troop Communist Young Pioneers, but that would be unfair to the Young Pioneers. They weren't quite as much of a political propaganda arm of Liberal Statism.
I would think this would be a violation of several Girl Scouts trademarks...
Maybe, to an extent. But what are they being told in order for them to form an opinion?
My guess it's something like this:
'Mike Brown was a nice teenager who went to the store and then a white po-liceman shot him because of the color of the skin. He didn't do nuthin' wrong.'
He was shot because he didnt do nothing. Nice grammar there.
Dress ‘em in burkas, make it a two-fer!
Brownie... that is so racist.
