PLEASE NOTE: Off Our Backs had nothing whatsoever to do with the mailings that were done about Jennifer McLune from the oob Facebook group or the "We're RADICAL Feminists, NOT the FUN Kind!". I did them. ~~Nikki Craft

A few days ago when I went to the original oob FB group that Jennifer had stolen, yes stolen, from the oob Collective and there was a link that said the job of administrator was available. I clicked the link and poof it was my approved position. The position for this group "We're RADICAL Feminists, NOT the FUN Kind!" (a group Jennifer had been a past admin for) was also available. So I had legitimate and full administrative rights over both groups, and after returning oob's group to them I still (as of the writing of this statement) had Administrator's rights over Radical Feminists NOT the FUN Kind!).

The night I became administrator I put out two mailings from each group to the members. One mailing said that the 46 oob members that Jennifer had banned could return to the oob group and the other mailing included Karla Mantilla's statement. [which was a public document at that time] I sent that out and clearly stated that I was not associated in any way with oob because I wanted to make sure people got her statement because so many people were demanding to see it. I felt there would be an overlap of people in the “Not The Fun Kind” group who might also want to be aware of it as well.

Off Our Backs not only had nothing to do with what I did, and in fact they objected to me doing it so much so that they demanded that I remove everything off the group immediately. I would have broken no FB rule had I kept the oob group but I turned it over to the collective because it was obviously the only right thing to do (and I had originally obtained it for them anyway).

After I turned their group over to them that had been absconded with by Jennifer McLune, I quickly began to realize that what I had done was seriously damaging the women at oob, which I had never intended. What I had not expected or predicted was that Jennifer, her friends and allies continued to accuse them even after oob explained over and over that they had no control over their Facebook group. They did all this to oob even after I had clearly stated I was in no way associated with the collective, and that was the truth. When I realized those false accusations were going to persist even without any evidence against them I offered to write this statement.

I got involved here in the first place because three years ago Jennifer McLune unleashed--out of the blue-similar, totally fabricated, taunting allegations about me at a time when I was dying of gall bladder illness and she knew it. The incident that she chose to bring up three years after it happened, which began the clash, took place on the CATW Australian anti-prostitution list. On her own list she made false allegations about the white radical feminists on the list and claimed that we were enabling racism by staying on the list after a woc was expelled for trying to confront them about an incident that had taken three years prior to that. Jennifer encouraged her list friends to go post it all over the internet and discuss it on radio. She said I just don't think Nikki Craft gets it like I do. I was on the list. I knew different. Every radical feminist that I knew of that she had labeled WHITE SUPREMACIST FEMINIST RACISTS!! had written statements against racism and signed off the list in protest of the CATW list policies, including myself. I had/have the emails to substantiate what she said was not true and even so she and her friends, labeled me a WHITE SUPREMACIST FEMINIST RACIST!!. And I didn't have one person in that forum supporting me in any way. [written Jan 14, 2009 Actually i have to revise this, there were several women who not only supported me but assisted me at that time behind the scenes.] ***GET PERMISSION

Back in 2006 I experienced nothing like what has happened in this instance when it came to oob rather than Jennifer McLune. For weeks with all these people aggressively demanding documentation from oob, taking screenprints, etc.; all blindly supportive and all. In fact I was called a racist for daring to ask a woc for documentation. At one point during Jenn's confrontation I was admitted to the emergency room in critical condition and hospitalized for four days and almost died. When I brought up, as a reason for my delay in responding, that it was because I was sick, I was accused of "tears and manipulation" and demeaned by Jennifer as being a weak white girl. No empathy. When I tried to be a friend supporting Jennifer thru a depression of failing her schooling to become a librarian she later lashed out at me publicly and accused me of expecting her to be my “mammy” when that could not have been further from the truth. It was the other way around, if anything, as it is in many of her other relationships with other people. There are friends who have known Jennifer for a long time where she has never even asked them how they are doing once or where she seemed even vaguely interested at all in what they were doing. That's what our relationship was and so it hurt all the more when she later threw the word “mammy" like a glass of ice water in my face. So you see I know all about Jennifer McLune's sisterly caring and compassion and when I saw she was doing an almost exact replay of the same thing to oob as she has now done to a number of her x-friends I did not want them to have to face it as I and many other women now have done, alone.

White Women Must Be Stopped!**
PASS THIS STATEMENT ON…OR ELSE!! ; )
