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?

@Patricksrum I can't seem to reply to your response to me, but upon revisiting the post a couple of pages it appears you were actually quoting someone and in turn responding, therefore I'll ask for my question to be removed so as not to further derail

I'll ask them to keep it as you've already detailed.

Toodlepip.

StartingGrid. I'm a little concerned about your well being, given that it's near 2.30 am here, and you appear to have spent your time going through all of the OP's previous posts in an attempt to prove..... what exactly?

[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]
Can you leave this up to show the de rails

@Gingaaarghpussy

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.

Being Italian is a compliment, what were they thinking?! Gino D'Acampo over Marco Pierre White any day.

I'm concerned that they were so quickly able to go back to the post. Perhaps it was screenshotted.

Well now, don't you think you should apologise for being a bit of an arse?
I really do think it should be left up, it speaks volumes to me and others.

Screenshotted? I think think this will be made into a Movie?
Who would you like to play your character?

Thankyou for the unintentional insight into how not to be a (typical) white person

Its on a post quoted about four pages back? So not that hard to have recalled (just comprehend in my case). Filtering OP's posts is quite a useful feature.

Why not apologise?

@StartingGrid
Why haven't you apologised?
Why are you only concerned about a derail when it's you who looks foolish.

@StartingGrid

I followed the last thread, and I have read a few pages of this. I appreciate the OP may have namechanged but other than that, posting history is pretty mundane and inane and I can't see they have started any threads up to this point that have been "derailed by racism". No attempts to start conversations relating to any race relevant topic - so I'm somewhat bemused by the sudden hostility towards MN as whole

You were going through her history earlier upthread too. Saturday. You'll see you used the terms pretty mundane and inane. Not nice at all to call someone inane? Why are you doing this? What are you trying to do?

I'm sorry, was "toodlepip" not a dismissal of me from the thread?!

Painfully obvious she is trying to discredit the OP by any means necessary to push her agenda. So odd though?. Why on earth won't you apologise?

@EchoCardioGran Ah thanks for that.

I didn't realise it was the same poster.

I wondered if she has magic powers that enabled her to see whether I'd name changed or not but she just has too much time on her hands.

@StartingGrid and you had commented to say that you'd read the pages of the thread up until I'm assuming at least early Saturday, and the husband post you're referring to happened on Thursday. Why did you go back to reread all of it again? Are you hoping to find some kind of damning evidence?

Filtering posts by username is quite a useful feature.

Bless you, grid. You really think you're being subtle, don't you. I don't think I'm up for playing 'find the post', obviously it would go on forever. From now on I think it would be easier for everybody if you quote these random sayings instead of just wildly paraphrasing.

Please don't @ me. I'm following the thread.
The only ego boost here, was your own rather failed attempt to discredit the OP. Too much Scooby Doo is bad for you.

[quote StartingGrid]@Echocardiogran I struggled to understand how someone who previously didn't seem to have posted about anything relating to their race was suddenly so concerned bout having a Black space for exclusive conversation. But as I've seem in a subsequent post OP has referred the ego boost they get from conversing with those they feel aligned with, it now makes sense.[/quote]

Yeah, definitely haven't touched on race before.

As I've said, my ego will be boosted once we get this board. A whole section where i wing have to put up from the likes of you, can't come soon enough.

@NiteWotcha Might need you afterall.

I don't wish for the first post about me having a DH to be removed but can you remove these other posts. Very abusive.

Hi @NiteWotcha
Time for bed for us I think. Appreciated if you could consider closing the thread for now. Derailing going on.

I'm literally reading all of this as its happening! (as well as keeping an eye on the other boards)

can you check your PMs Patrick? I'll send another in a mo
