When he says "I don't agree with that tweet" he is actually accidentally admitting that he fully understands every part of that tweet, making everything he said prior a lie. How can you disagree with something that you just stated you don't understand? I'm surprised Gaetz didn't catch that

[@bogibsimmons]

He should’ve asked why do you disagree with that tweet and see what he had to say that would’ve been amazing because then he would have to admit that he doesn’t agree black people cannot be racist. And the idea you can only be racist if you have power is what gives people the idea that they can hate someone for no reason if they’re “above” them financially. If that’s the case I’m sure that Michael Jordan has more power then I do so people could hate him for being of color because he has more power then 99.9 percent of other people.

Also, the tweet is made in a personal capacity. Cool. But the tweet is just describing a situation at work. This lady "gave someone the BUSINESS" in a PD session after someone made a very logical comment (that black people can be racist too) on something she might've said which I can only assume implied that only white people can be racist. So there was in fact, quite obviously, racist behaviour in a professional setting.
