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.

So basically, these whacked-out moms are teaching their daughters to hate and fear both white people and the police. This should prepare them for success later in life.
