Let's try this one more time: @RashidaTlaib did NOT call @MarkMeadows a racist. She pointed out that what he did could be construed as racist. Rather than whine, he could have learned to do better - unless he doesn't want to do better.

@RashidaTlaib @MarkMeadows She should not have apologized for his misunderstanding her attempt to teach. And if people of color are not allowed to point out racist acts, how will people who claim not to be racist know when what they're doing can be misconstrued?

@RashidaTlaib @MarkMeadows And, for the record, people have been claiming that having a black friend makes them not racist is a tact as old as time.

And it is still not true.

@RashidaTlaib @MarkMeadows So the question is this: If you are not racist and you do something that makes you look racist, do you want someone to tell you?

Or do you want people to see what they think you really are?

Eh, Rep. Meadows?
