Just ask them on Twitter why they allow racism in their fancy dress party.

Have been on at them about their association with Thom via Twitter but this is next level. Have emailed club secretary last night, no response so far, will tweet them shortly. They tend ignore though, which in itself, speaks volumes.

You could also contact British cycling and CTT and ask them whether they should be allowed to renew their affiliations. No CTT affilition, no hill climb.

Well done, they've removed the offensive pictures.

And apologised publicly on Twitter.

I’ve been thinking about this whole shitshow. The Rutland CC thing is indicative of a wider problem in cycling - it’s not exactly a diverse sport. Certainly not at club level.

I’m proud to say that my club (Kingston Wheelers) are in the Comic this week due to an initiative where we sent a load of old kit out to a club in Nigeria to encorage to sport to develop over there. This sort of thing is great, and helps alter the perception that road cycling is just for MAMILS. However, looks like there’s a lot of work to be done closer to home, too.

I simply fail to understand how Rutland CC thought blacking up was okay in the first place.

Not just okay but perfectly fine to the extent they published it on social media.

And one of their friends is defending it on Twitter to me.

are some of his best mates black?

Yep

That's interesting. He's claiming false racism. An area he studies. Are there varying degrees of blackface? He's justifying it as the wearer is half Indian. WTAF

And half Spanish. Can't be racist then. Impossible.

Guy sounds like a fucking chopper.

these cunts are as racist as they are illiterate. one wonders how it feels to lead a life that serves merely as a warning to others.

They keep crawling out of the woodwork. If I wasn’t gobsmacked enough when I discovered those pics, I’m even more now given that someone is defending one of them.

So a 'Dr', asking for a face to face meeting with a veiled threat, not getting the fucking point, and spelling 'manner' as 'manor'.......
I'm calling bullshit, and I'm calling fuck knuckle Thomas......

Nice veiled threat of 'I get invited to the boardroom at your University, don't you know' there also.

(Also, has the man from del Monte changed since I was a kid? I thought he was an old white dude in linen suit & Panama hat?)

Actually, looking back at that picture of the man from del monte, is that definitely blackface?
The rasta one definitely is.

"grown up manor"

whut?

Taken days apart.

inviting you to the boardroom at your University

Honesty!!, WFC

I'm not great at Twitter but the more I read that exchange, the more depressed I get.

funny how googling Dr Chris Cushing yields sparse results...

Why are they obsessed with meeting up, or having a phone call? The longer this goes on, the more depressing it becomes.

Reading the diction of those tweets it’s probably Thom.
