Peaceful Oakland protesters disperse in time for their naps
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | January 3, 2015 | Jill Tucker

As the dozens of protesters gathered in Oakland on Saturday, there was no sign of police in riot gear.

And as the marchers briefly blocked traffic and chanted for peace and justice, there was no spray paint or broken windows, and no faces were covered with black bandannas.

That’s because at this Black Lives Matter march at Eastshore Park near Lake Merritt, the participants read a Dr. Seuss story, ate snacks, got squirmy and then put glitter paint on cut-out stars.

Most of the protesters were still in preschool, with the oldest topping out at age 10, and they all had their parents in tow.

It’s easier to covert to someone to communism when you’re working with a piece of meat with two eyes.

Lupita Martinez, 10, was among the older children at the event. She attended with the social justice scouting troop she helped start a month ago: the Radical Brownies, complete with uniform brown vests and berets. It’s sort of a “brown beret, Black Panther” thing, said her mom and co-founder, Anayvette Martinez. “It’s all rooted in social justice for girls of color.”
No white kids can join. Which probably is not a bad thing.

Actually, when you think about it, the liberal world view is the same as a 5 year old's.  Conservatives evolve.

Adult liberals just never grew up.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

These are the things I learned (Liberalism 101:

•Share everything.
•Play fair.
•Don't hit people.
•Put things back where you found them.
•Clean up your own mess.
•Don't take things that aren't yours.
•Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
•Wash your hands before you eat.
•Flush.
•Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
•Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
•Take a nap every afternoon.
•When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
•Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
•Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
•And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Hideous to teach this to young children.

Yet they’d be the first ones screaming RACISM if a white person were to do the exact same thing for white kids.

Little white girls could better spend their time preparing for the violence the little girls of color will do to them as they get older. Growing up in a world of multicultural hate the radical left is creating will require a willingness to defend one’s self with extreme violence. White kids need to be toughened up.
