Backlash continues for the Hawera Mt View Lions Club. 

The Taranki club came under fire after six people dressed as black minstrels while taking part in a parade at the Hawera A&P.

The club initially defended their actions, accusing critics of being "too precious" in a Facebook post.

They later deleted the post and their page. 

The club posted on its Facebook page, then deleted the comment, then deleted its entire page.

The actions were condemned by The Sunday Session panel, with host Kerre McIvor and guests Morgan Godfrey and Heather du Plessis-Allan criticising the club's actions.
