Dear black people of mumsnet

[PatricksRum]

Ideas for a black section on mumsnet.

Should we have separate sections i.e black hair and beauty, black parenting, black cooking or a general black section?

Please if you are not coming to add ideas to the board, can you respectfully RTFT. I assure you the little gem you think is so profound has been addressed by page 2.

I think Health and Wellbeing is important.

@EchoCardioGran

I think Health and Wellbeing is important.

Definitely. Especially given the current pandemic.

I suspect wixx is finding themself hilarious. Hope MN are also enjoying the joke.

@PatricksRum

Omg I can't believe I wrote that. An example of how horrendously uneducated people in my area are that we have absolutely no idea what is racist or wrong! I am not ignorant I just have so little experience I am actively trying to understand and learn it just comes off so badly 🥺 really not trying to offend anyone, am trying to be friendly and in the group

Hi @PatricksRum and all

Just to say that the Night Watch are on duty and keeping an eye on this thread as MNHQ hasn't closed it overnight as they have done before.
I'm sure it will be fine but give us a shout if necessary

@PersephonePromotesEquanimity no I'm embarrassed how I'm coming across I'm so sorry

Oh lol, as I say I'm not qualified to comment but even I'm WTAF ing to that youtube video
No. Just noooo.
Kind of like someone trying to do Yorkshire puddings to me and I'd be like just stop, get the fuck out of here lol

Great to hear

@PatricksRum 🤣🤣🤣. That cannot be real.

So many questions
What locals?
Do they hate him?
Are they trying to kill him
How can he serve that soggy mess like it's real food?
Why???

Marco Pierre White! And then the real Taste to follow!
Love the way he hides it all under the parsley!

Where he went wrong, was not using the bag with a picture of Uncle Ben on.

The bit that kills it for me is tight in the very beginning when he says 'I go to Jermaican now and again'

I'd also really love to know which locals cooked that for him.

You have to take into consideration when you're seasoning
What seasoning? See the drumsticks going in the pot as white as ever.

Still can't actually believe he had the audacity to use garden peas. Not even fresh, frozen

Jamaican style

Having lived in North Norfolk for the last nearly 50 years, there aren't that many black people. I've come across plenty of people who are racist, I have always told those, who have used derogatory terms, that their choice of words is racist.
I'm glad that you will be getting your own section, I will be lurking, as I have been on every thread so far and have learned so much.
Thankyou for the unintentional insight into how not to be a (typical) white person.

[quote StartingGrid]@PatricksRum why do you refer to yourself on more than one occasion as a single parent, but also refer to a DH a couple of pages back?[/quote]
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Back to derailing.

Kindly copy and paste where I mentioned a DH. I'll wait

That's great! As we say it isn't enough to just not be racist, you must challenge it!

why do you refer to yourself on more than one occasion as a single parent, but also refer to a DH a couple of pages back?

what's that got to do with the price of fish, or the thread in general?

@StartingGrid

Please. I can't contain my excitement.

Ah perhaps a section for those who find themselves unintentionally married?
Maybe you should add "planning a wedding" .
You should get Marco Pierre White to do catering tips.

when I was a kid I was referred to as a "wop" because I was born in Cyprus. Nothing like what you have endured, but my response was a few seconds of fish mode before I told them I was British not Italian.
I want to be you PatricksRum, when I grow up.
