   Houston Mayor John Whitmire is taking steps to permanently remove a   
   member of the city’s food insecurity board following racial comments she   
   made on social media about the devastating flooding in the Hill Country   
   that decimated Camp Mystic, a private summer camp for girls.   
      
   Sade Perkins was appointed to the Houston Food Insecurity Board in   
   October 2023 by the late former Mayor Sylvester Turner. The board is   
   tasked with making recommendations to the mayor and Houston City Council   
   on food security issues throughout the city.

   TEXAS FLOODING UPDATES: Camp Mystic confirms loss of 27 campers, at   
   least 68 total confirmed dead   
      
   Perkins’ term on the board expired in January 2025, according to the   
   city’s website.   
      
   In a video posted to TikTok on Saturday, Perkins told her audience there   
   was context that “needs to be said” regarding Camp Mystic.   
      
   “I know I’m probably going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is   
   a whites-only, girls’ Christian camp,” Perkins said in the video. “They   
   don’t even have a token Asian, they don’t have a token Black person. It   
   is an all-white, white-only, conservative Christian camp. If you ain’t   
   white, you ain’t right, you ain’t getting in, you ain’t going. Period.”   
      
   Perkins said in the video it wasn’t that she didn’t want the girls who   
   went missing to not be found. She made reference to the area’s   
   demographics, and said that in “today’s political climate,” a group of   
   Hispanic girls who went missing wouldn’t get the same attention.   
      
   “If this were a group of Hispanic girls out there, this would not be   
   getting this type of coverage that they’re getting. No one would give a   
   f---,” Perkins said. “And all these white people, the parents of these   
   little girls, would be saying things like, ‘They need to be deported,   
   they shouldn’t have been here in the first place.’”   
      
   Perkins continued in her video that the children’s parents had chosen to   
   go to the camp to carve out “an all-white, whites only enclave” for   
   their white children.   
      
   “Yeah, I have a problem with that,” Perkins said. “I have a big problem   
   with that.”   
      
   The video Perkins posted has been viewed more than 165,000 times as of   
   Sunday morning and received 2,414 comments. Perkins has since set her   
   TikTok account to private.   
      
   Perkins, who confirmed the video was hers in an interview with the   
   Houston Chronicle on Sunday, said that she wasn’t saying the victims   
   deserved what happened to them or that they shouldn’t be found. She   
   added she has received racist comments on her video.   
      
   She added that “these same MAGA Christians” would be “thrilled” if the   
   victims “floating down that river” were LGTBQ.   
      
   In response to her removal from the city board, Perkins said Whitmire   
   hasn’t done anything in regard to food insecurity, that it wasn’t his   
   priority and that the board wasn’t doing much.   
      
   In a statement Sunday, Whitmire said Perkins’ comments were “deeply   
   inappropriate and have no place in a decent society, especially as   
   families grieve the confirmed deaths and the ongoing search for the   
   missing.”   
      
   Whitmire said he has no plans to reappoint Perkins to the board and will   
   permanently remove her.   
      
   Camp Mystic was created in 1926 and is located just north of Kerville.   
   Its website advertises it as a “wholesome Christian atmosphere in which   
   they can develop outstanding personal qualities and self-esteem.”   
      
   So far, 59 people have died as a result of the flooding, including 21   
   children.
