Meet America’s latest racist organization
When Marilyn Hollinquest was a child, she struggled to understand injustice she experienced in her community. “I was not equipped with the tools that would help me understand and contribute to equality for all people,†she told NewsHour.
As an adult, Hollinquest’s friend Anayvette Martinez had a daughter struggling with the same issues. “I saw the need for a group that would empower and encourage her to form bonds of sisterhood with other girls in her community,†Martinez said on Facebook.
“I began to imagine what a radical young girl’s social justice troop looked like,†Martinez wrote, “a group that centered and affirmed her experiences as a beautiful and brilliant brown girl against so many societal pressures to conform to mainstream ideals of girlhood.â€
Martinez approached Hollinquest with a vision for such a group in 2014, and the Radical Brownies were born. The inaugural chapter was established in Oakland, California, and is open to young girls of color between the ages of 8 and 12.
You little caucasian social justice warrior-women are not allowed.
And if you don’t want to hit that link, just wave your cursor over it. Our government’s Public Broadcasting System approves of the group’s racism and has agreed to do publicity for them.
Enjoy that. Happy Monday.
Part of me hopes the Girl Scouts sues them for copyright infringement. It’s obvious this little group is trying to piggy-back on the brand recognition of the Girl Scouts organization. “Young Pioneers” or “Youth Communist League” would be a more appropriate name.
And if you want to fight social (in)justice in your life, step 1 should be: GTFO of the Oakland/San Francisco area.
