This is welcomed news.

It's a shame it was taken down so soon as I made a recent police report.

It's a tiny thing but I'm so happy to hear it's gone. The racism was like none other.

Only one person challenged the minstrel photo.

I'm still extremely wary as a lot of mc posters are here commenting on my threads and trolling the H&M threads.

@PatricksRum You and I have chatted before and I just want to commend you for standing firm through all of this. The abuse you received for trying to get a black MN set up was horrendous, and although I don't post on it, I had a quick peek and it is well used and successful.

Seconding this comment from @Rousette. I was horrified by the reception you got on those threads, and the fact that the AIBU poll came in at close to 50-50. It was a real eye-opener for me as to just how many white people are racist as fuck (sorry, I realise that you know this, but as a white person I could hide from the reality - well, not any more). I always liked to kid myself that it was about 10%; now I can't hide from the fact that it's closer to 50%.

Wow! Just speechless by that.

I registered there but never got round to visiting or posting and am thankful for that.

I'd have callled that out immediately. Absolutely disgusting.

itsafig · 13/10/2020 14:43

The minstrel picture is horrible and clearly racist and not acceptable. Can I ask what's wrong with the third screenshot? Is it that the mixed race person is suggesting it's silly to have a black people's section on MN?

PatricksRum · 13/10/2020 14:56

Thank you for all the kind messages.

@EchoCardioGran I can't believe people were trying to defend. Well, actually, I can.
Identity politics 🙄 God forbid anyone call them out for being racist. They're not racist they just happen to dislike black people including Meghan. Pftttt
I watched a documentary where celebrities confronted these trolls and, as you can imagine, cowering, not willing to admit or face confrontation.
I just know these people would not act the same in person.

Thank you @Roussette Thanks

I also screenshotted the abuse they gave to you to add to the report. Such blatant, obvious racists.

All the best to you @PatricksRum and thank you.

You can rest easy as far as that site now. It's down and finished. As i said elsewhere...
They were the architects of their own downfall

Not everyone saw it. I believe it was left up, though, which is adding insult to injury. The author of the post and the unsavoury image wasn’t the sharpest knife in the box. Butt still, he should have been ignored by the others. To say nothing, is to condone the post.
Janegrey333 · 13/10/2020 15:13

But

Janegrey333 · 13/10/2020 15:17

Anyone who went on that Justine thread and joined in, scrolled past the abuse they were firing out towards me is part of the problem.

They are clearly guilty by association.

The third screenshot shows the one poster who "challenged" the comment.

Anyone and everyone who posted on that thread is guilty. Every comment, joining in, goading, guilty.

Ignored? No.
Anyone with common decency would leave the thread.
There's clearly problems with administration if posts like that remain.

Thank you again, Roussette.

Is it definitely gone or is it back up? I keep hearing different things.

Their stupidity has allowed HQ and the rest of us figure out which MNers belong to which username on the site.
I really wish I could come face-to-face with just one of them.

You’re right. I meant ignored from then on, as some did seem to do.

However, a mass exodus from the thread would have been a powerful act. As it was, only one person chided him.

ThinSlicePizza · 13/10/2020 21:08

Can somebody please break down what happened. I dont think I fully understand what has happened?

Excellent! They've done my job for me.

I wonder how many new registrations MN will have now.

Mumschat, a racist site, has been taken down.

That's interesting for a chat-site started by another chat-site which allowed racism to run wild. if I am not wrong, I think it was started by the same groups as the website which broke the Instamum scandal.

they created mum chat because they wanted it to have the same racist vile as the other one. I checked it out in the beginning and it had most of Justine and Meghan's threads running and how mn was going downhill and the £5 payment which was being requested.

they can't even go to Netmums. Grin

Roussette · 14/10/2020 18:55

Looks like it's starting up again....

Whiskyinajar · 15/10/2020 10:09

I registered there when it opened but never went back as I couldn't find it.

I'm on Tattle but I tend to loiter in the Food and Drink thread which is nice and friendly. I like that it is, quite small and supportive.

I wouldn't go near the H&M thread as I know, without looking that it would annoy me.

ThinSlicePizza · 15/10/2020 12:48

Tattle! Thats the instamum scandal I was thinking of.

Ooh I've been hidden.

ThinSlicePizza · 15/10/2020 14:03

I wonder why?😬

rainyoutside · 15/10/2020 14:17

Because you said the word in your post.

It is back and it seems just the same. Anyone objecting to the racism gets banned, in case anyone is wondering why no one is objecting to the racism.
