It was discussed yesterday and even made it to the MP list. Search for UES mommas. It was closed, at least for the time being. [ Reply | More

Ha! Was about to post that. I don't understand why UB can't fix the search function. It really helped me when my youngest dc was applying to K. [ Reply | More

It was archived on June because of members bullying admin to add another moderator who was black. The admin said that they tried having another moderator in the past and it did not work out so her and one of the original group founders who is a woman of color decided that at this time they don't want to add any more moderators/admins. People started posting nasty things about the admin although she has used the group for a lot of good, charity projects, donations, etc. I admire her decision and hope she sticks with it.

Yes I got great advice as well and I am sad that the admin was pushed to a point where she either had to give in or continue having multiple posts attacking her personally. If I were her I would just remove all the people attacking her but I guess she want to take the high road. [ Reply | More

UES Mommas admin keeps posting here and replying to herself non stop. The last post eloquently begging for a single black member in a group of over 30k moms had over 500 likes and hundreds of comments in favor. She had an egomaniacal and petty outburst and shut down a resource that she volunteered for, but did not own. [ Reply | More

You are probably the poster who caused the shut down of the group because the phrase “Eloquently begging” gave you away. There was nothing eloquent about it. There was one poster who was blatantly accusing the admin of racism [ Reply | More

I read at least 5 separate essay length posts saying the same thing. I didn’t write any but would happily claim credit if I did, and I wholeheartedly agreed with them all. [ Reply | More

And the mod caused the shutdown obviously. She literally shut it down lol. If she didn’t like the group she should have just left. What an egomaniac. [ Reply | More

Many posters pointed out that refusing to let POC be heard was racist. [ Reply | More

Accusing someone of racism is a STRONG allegation, and is used of late as a cudgel to beat people with. It will lose all meaning if it's used just because someone doesn't accede to requests --i.e. demands. [ Reply | More

Calling someone racist bc they don’t want to add another admin, black or otherwise, is ridiculous. Even worse are the people saying the other admin who is a POC doesn’t count bc she’s not dark enough. [ Reply | More
