        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mom support group and occasional rich-lady fight club, <strong>UES Mommas</strong>, has exploded in racial unrest.</p><p>The private Facebook group — which, <strong>as we’ve previously reported</strong>, <strong>once had to be temporarily closed</strong> because of a furore about a children’s book — has been put on ice after its users turned on its management accusing them of racism, and the administrators fighting back with what they later admitted were “unartful” comments.</p><p>“In the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests nationwide, the white admin of the group refused to add a Black moderator despite outcry from numerous members of the group that they wanted more representation,” a mole told us.</p><p>According to a leaked note to members, one of the group’s two administrators defended themselves saying, “As everyone knows, there are two admins: one [person of color]; one not. 50% of the admins are POC.”</p><p>The admin added that they’d “expressed my perspectives” on the matter. “At times, those comments may not have been artfully stated, and to the extent I have not already done so, I apologize to anyone who was offended or insulted by the manner in which I expressed my opinion,” they wrote.</p><p>We’re told the second admin is Latino — but has quit amid the uprising. Meanwhile, another mom said that the admins had “silenced” the 38,000 members by temporarily closing the group on June 1. “It’s wrong,” she said.</p>]]></content:encoded>
