Black section on MN

I think it would be great if Mumsnet could make a black parents section/ section for black users.

Well you have it folks.

sunnydaytomorrow sees everyone the same, therefore there's no need for a black topic.

Now can someone please inform the BLM movement and tell them they're all being silly sausages.

[quote AMemeByAnyOtherName]@PatricksRum next time you start a thread like this, please can you at least have the decency to attach an accompanying bingo card? I could have won loads by now. [/quote]
If only you'd added "I have a black friend so I can't be racist", I would've won the full house.

Still time I guess...

Rude.

I see everyone as the same. It's people like you that keep trying to make everyone different.

My opinion, I don't need rude pushy responses.

Yes it is. Are you white? The other day someone said that posts from "white woke women are hilarious". So if you try to be supportive you are "woke and hilarious" and if you're not you'll be called a racist.

If you're white then it's people like you actually

Plenty of white posters have been supportive without being mocked.

Stop exaggerating.

Don't make me chase you with my dabber!

I apologise.
I should have been more accommodating to you and those who need a white topic

Be honest, did your 5 year-old steal your phone?

I take that back. 5 is way too mature.

Ok, I was slightly generalizing. Many white posters have been treated like that. There's no need for it.

I claim 5 points for spotting : "It's people like you"

5 points for "I see everyone the same"

2 points for " rude pushy"

But we aren't all the same are we? That's why there are different sections on Mumsnet. You seem very upset about just this one.

AMemeByAnyOtherName · 11/09/2020 22:57

It would be awful if this thread was filled with idle chit chat so close to 1000 posts.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 11/09/2020 22:57

No, they haven't Polka.

One poster made that comment I believe.

OP has thanked loads of people for being supportive.

@Polkasquare why do you think some white mumsnetters have been treated like that?

OP posts:
rambleon1 · 11/09/2020 23:01

At the risk of being accused of being an arselicker blah blah. I think you are fucking amazing Patrick and wish MN had more posters like you.

MN has turned into a shit show of a place and you give me hope that it might be ok after all.

Polkasquare · 11/09/2020 23:01

You seem very upset about just this one.
To be fair, I haven't seen any suggestions for other new boards recently.

I am guessing that this poster has been taught all her life that "we are all the same " and "it doesn't matter if you are black or white ". So from that perspective a Black board does seem quite strange.

Ah thank you. That's really kind of you to say. But more black posters? Whatever next? Wink
