Any black pro cyclist on the tour? I don't think I've seen one yet

Not only do you talk the words of the Politically Correct Liberal Thought Police you look like the epitome of the Politically Correct Liberal Thought Police. Yes it does matter that there are hardly any white marathon runners, sprinters and clearly blacks are massively over represented in football.
eh?

Having read the article, it seems the theory is that slaves lived in such horrendous, inhumane conditions that only the very strongest survived.
Highly unlikely that they lived "horrendous, inhumane conditions" that would be illogical like driving car you paid for without engine oil. You don't destroy your own property! Now saying slavery is horrendous and inhumane would be more accurate. Moreover I doubt that what you Say is even relevant after all most black athletes are African not American and the American ones are mostly mixed race (the few that descended from slaves).

Are you for real? Or, as TC would say, srsly?

We covered this and it was established that what I said was totally misconstrued. Move along

Very possibly and I apologise if that was the case. However, the OP was noting the absense of black riders in the pro-peloton and whether there is one or two or three black riders on the World Tour or the Tour de France, the issue is the same, and it's an important one.
It's not an issue! If people of any colour are good enough, they will be there.
Just like any sport.

He implied you were a racist and you basically apologised. Why did he misconstrue it in the first place? Because he assumed you are white...Reverse racism is racism. If you are to weak to see that that's your problem I won't let people get away with it, so no I won't move on.
