Sure, your daughter slings a mean pack of Do-si-dos, but how's her anti-KKK game? The Girls Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) aims to ensure it's badge-worthy.
In case you're unfamiliar, "antiracism" isn't the mere absence of prejudice. Rather, it identifies people as oppressors or victims -- the former category being congenitally Caucasian. UCLA Law Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw puts it this way:
“Antiracism is the active dismantling of systems, privileges, and everyday practices that reinforce and normalize the contemporary dimensions of white dominance. This, of course, also involves a critical understanding of the history of whiteness in America.”

If these woke idiots really want to do away with that awful white supremacy oppressor attitude, let’s go all the way and get rid of everything invented by whites…..

I can live without your overpriced cookies, girls! I'm sorry that your parents (looking at your moms, primarily) are such indoctrinated robots who sign you up for this once-worthy organization.
I truly hope that somehow, someday, you see the goodness and fairness in living as free, intelligent individuals who aren't crippled by the fear of not comforming to idiocy.

So when I’m asked to buy Girl Scout cookies I have to decline. I’m white. Why Would they even ask me. Ohhh. Wait. Money is money. No matter what color the person holding the cash is! So it’s ok to be white and buy cookies. Not me!

Won't be long before GSA is gone for good. Once again, we will not be buying GSA's uber-overpriced cookies now further tainted with wokeism.

Girl Scouts went woke decades before "woke" was in use. Now that I think of it, they may have been 'politically correct' before p.c. was the phrase of the day.

That’s probably the coup de grace for the GS. Self-inflicted. Same with BSA to me.

With their support of Planned Parenthood they sowed their seeds of self destruction. Racism against white folks will only hasten their end.

That smoke is from burning my badge sash. No one left in my family that even remembers Girl Scouts. Like youth, scouting in America is going, going gone.

RE #10: Check Dollar General for those Thin Mints. They have excellent knockoffs ata fraction of the price of Girl Scout cookies.
I remember my years in Girl Scouts in the 70's. Camping, meetings, crafts, selling cookies door to door and those songs that are still stuck in my brain, even after all those years.
These days, I wouldn't allow my daughters anywhere near a Girl Scout meeting. At this point, they have crossed to the dark side and are antithicalto everything I believe!

And, that is why I no longer buy Girl Scout cookies, nor do I support the organization. Unfortunately, most people who still buy the cookies are usually guilted into it by a family member, friend, neighbor or colleague, and have no clue about the politics they are supporting. I can make my own cookies.

FTA: 'Our commitment to antiracism: Girl Scouts of the USA is working to become an antiracist organization.' Sounds more like becoming a reverse-racist organization. And, fun coincidence BLM is quite similar to BDM (Bund Deutscher Mädel) the girls' version of Hitler Youth.

Make sure you pass up Girl Scout cookies when the sellin season comes up next year. As much as I used to like Thin Mints, I've boycotted the GS cookies for years. I will not support the militant lesbians at the national leadership who advocate for abortion.

ssso, that's the plan, huh?
- destroy all the old tried and true established traditional and pro-American pastimes that used to foster the virtuous and honest living that was synonymous with the precepts of the ideas of the Founding Fathers and
- replace it with the lowest common denominator of human ideas and values that corrupt and destroy the very basic ideas of what and how a great nation should look like and act on at the local level, first, and then on the world wide level, what one displays on the world wide level is nothing but the local level magnified and multiplied

The scouts have become political activists, and are no longer desirable for your kids.

OK, then; let's fast forward several years into the future after the GSA has "decentered" whiteness and former white members are gleefully boasting about how they were involved in that process. Now comes job search time and these young ladies will discover that while they will be allowed to populate the lower rungs of their chosen career they will be prohibited from advancement..... management trainee classes will not be open to them etc. Will they have enough self-awareness to realize they've "decentered" themselves to the point they're second or third class citizens who are told they must be not only satisfied but grateful for their new lot in life.

They were already indoctrinating the children to worship the good of abortion so I stopped buying from them some time ago.
Teaching them to hate because of skin color doesn’t surprise me.

Aldi has cookies that imitate, equal, and better the Girl Scout cookies. So it's as easy as a Bud Light boycott to join in with the ban. Assuming you have an Aldi in your area. And they seem to be popping up like mushrooms. More power to the free market!
These companies that want to attack their customers should only take that risk if they have an assured monopoly because when I go to the beer aisle in the store there are quite a few to choose from.

My personal belief is that our female population are the ones pushing the bulk of this black and woke nonsense. It's no secret that most white males no longer hold any respect or particularly like blacks after all of the verbal abuse and crimes perpetrated against us because we are white. Affirmative action, preferences in jobs and education due to skin color got them what they wanted in the short term but long term damage will affect them for at least three generations. You can all thank Barack Hussein Obama for it. There are probably some male university professors still on your side but they are wrong about most everything else they teach as well.

The Girl Scouts went woke decades ago when they started embracing feminism and abortion. I haven’t bought a single cookie since the 90’s.

In 1775 Scottish inventor Alexander Cumming was granted the first patent for a flush toilet. Since he was white, let's start with his handy dandy invention. That'll show those naughty whites.

#10, If you have an Ollie's where you live, you can get 4 boxes of either Thin Mints or Thick Mints for the price of 1 box of GSA Thin Mints. Their boxes are just over half the size of the GSA box, so they are just under half the price.

What's next? Expect the girls to be to be trained to report on their parents when they make 'inappropriate" statements or engage in 'unapproved' activities.

The Girl Scouts you knew, like almost EVERYTHING you personally know about when you were growing up, is GONE.
As society has changed through the years due to improved technology and the fact that in the mid-1950s the demographic of more people growing up in small town rural America the population shifted to the urban areas, and with it, the traditional time-honored values changed. The country is now essentially driven by the moral decay and worrldly values of the big cities.
While I am the father of a "Gold Award" daughter (the GS equivalent of the Boy Scout Eagle Scout Award) and lifetime member of GSs, I have been appalled by their turn to the left AWAY from the traditional curriculum of the badges.
The program materials reflect the changing times, and are leaving behind the stereotypical ways of girls who grew up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s in favor of more 'contemporary' life in the big city instead embracing social issues which are often extremely political pushing agendas instead of rational discussion. They were 'woke' well before the term was coined!
There is no going back. Even the feelings of nostalgia for the good times is ruined since the cookies have gone corporate with fewer cookies per box, the price due to Bidenflation raising the prices AGAIN, and so very little of the money staying with the local troops.
For those who gave of their time volunteering as troop leaders and parents who helped during those years when it still was honorable-- THANK YOU!

I genuinely feel sorry for all of the girls who are being used as pawns by the disease that has
infested this once honorable institution. The girls are neither to blame nor are they capable of
rectifying the current direction of this institution. Almost a carbon copy of the Boy Scouts demise !
We, the adults, have been far to tolerant of the changes that have taken place right under our noses
and in right front of our eyes ! I'm as guilty as anyone else, probably more so than a lot of people.
I will probably still buy their cookies but I wish to H*** that there was SOME WAY to go back, just
a little, 40 years or so, and know what we know and see now, and perhaps, just perhaps change
the course just a bit for the sake of all of the young girls affected by this tragedy.
Girls, I'm sorry for the way you have been treated.

Teach your children to hate. It's specifically aimed at the black communities, so they hate whites. The idea was probably originated in China or Russia, spread to the college campuses, and into black communities. At the very least they (the Chinese and Russians) jumped on the bandwagon and helped it to spread. Btw, this was how groups like Hamas sprang up over the decades. Only difference is they are being taught to hate the Jews.

Can you imagine the street riots if the Army or Navy or Air Force voted to “decenter” blackness?
