I have reported this thread a number of times and it has been up for hours - please can you delete it now! This is ridiculous

I have reported the poster and hope MNHQ can have a word with it and tell it to go away

It could well be a minority of posters, because we are the minority that are being targeted in your racists threads. The majority of MNers are typically white women, so of course it is going to be a minority that are offended. Why would the majority of MNers need to be offended? They may not agree with you, but there's no need for them to be offended by it because it's not them being attacked.

There is no agenda. The only person with an agenda was you dance.

I love that you're now claiming you're being "bullied". YOU were racist, YOU continued to be racist after being called out on it, YOUR thread was deleted, YOU chose to come back on here, yet you're the one being bullied? Pull the other one, sweetheart.

Vixxfacee · 16/09/2016 19:57

Well said Muffy. The fact it is still here trying to provoke says it all about their motives.

No I can't - but your issue is not in relation to a site stuff.

This post is about MNHQ response to racist post - frankly I don't care how you perceived your post, but your post made me, and quite a few others, upset angry and as I said MNHQ agreed it should have been pulled earlier.

Seriously I have no energy or desire to get into it with you again.

This is where a hide poster function would come in so handy right now

I never expected you to agree. You don't consider your post racist. A number of us found it racist there is no further discussion to be had.

Dothedance You are protesting that you didn't mean to cause offence and that you are not racist. People are telling you that they found your post to be offensive and racist. Instead of coming and arguing with people, would it not be more appropriate for you to apologise for the offence that you obviously have caused?

Vixxfacee · 16/09/2016 20:14

Duchess she thinks your angry. I wonder if she will say a chip on your shoulder next or an attitude problem Grin

Next post - "why are so many black people so ANGRY"

"Why do they have such attitude problems"

Probably all the black on black crime we've had to witness in our lives, our poor poor lives

JudyCoolibar · 16/09/2016 20:19

Just to be clear, Muffy, I and I suspect a very large number of white women on MN also find racist threads like the one in question highly offensive.

Vixxfacee · 16/09/2016 20:21

I think that's why we commit so many crimes against each other. All that anger.

Judy - to be honest the other posters was totally the minority in this situation.

Loads of people called the OP out on that thread, black white green and purple.

What was great was every one pulled together to get the post deleted..... shame about MNHQ very slow response

Vixxfacee · 16/09/2016 20:22

Duchess are you only witnessing it? I am actually commiting it.

Hi all,

I wasn't on duty yesterday. I've just come on shift tonight and seen this huge mess and can only say that I agree with you all - this was a terrible decision, the opening post was awful ("Is it culture?" IS IT CULTURE?!) and the thread should have come straight down.

Have no idea what else I can say now other than that I'm hugely sorry.

DawnMumsnet · 16/09/2016 21:05

Absolutely will be having that word, Duchess.

wombattoo · 16/09/2016 21:12

Well done Dawn. It's reassuring that you can see what caused the upset.

MuffyTheUmpireSlayer · 16/09/2016 21:19

Thank you Dawn.

MuffyTheUmpireSlayer · 16/09/2016 21:27

I know that Judy. The OP of the other thread came to this thread to claim that a "minority of posters" were attacking her because we had an agenda Hmm I was just explaining to her why it would be a minority. My point was that it's not going to be the whole MN army standing up against it because it's not something that directly affects the majority of MN users.

Buzzardbird · 16/09/2016 22:27

How is that poster not banned yet?
