A former Houston official’s comments on the supposed “white-only, conservative Christian” girls missing amid Texas flooding provoked action from the mayor, who implemented “immediate steps.”
While the communities in and around the Texas Hill Country remained reeling from flash flooding with a death toll rising to at least 80, and first responders and volunteers tirelessly engaged in rescue and recovery efforts, some spectators saw fit to step up on their social media soapboxes to engage in spiteful rhetoric.
This included former Houston Food Insecurity Board member Sade Perkins who nailed it when she stated, “I know I’m probably gonna get canceled for this,” before proceeding to unload a racially-charged rant about efforts to save the girls missing from Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas.
“I know I’m probably gonna get canceled for this, but Camp Mystic is a whites-only girls Christian camp. They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token black person. It is a all white, white-only conservative Christian camp,” Perkins published to her TikTok page, where, at the time of this post, it remained pinned to the top as it garnered over 300,000 views with less than 9,000 followers.
Tiktoker blasts people who are donating and helping find the missing girls in Texas. Her reason is because the girls are White and “they’re deporting your family members.”

“If you ain’t white, you ain’t right. You ain’t getting in, you ain’t goin’, period,” she continued. “It’s not to say that we don’t want the girls to be found, whatever girls that are missing … but you best believe, especially in today’s political climate, if this were a group of Hispanic girls … this would not be getting this type of coverage that they’re getting. No one would give a f*ck.”
Perkins went on to claim that if the camp had been Hispanic girls, the same parents currently grieving over the tragedy would be arguing the children shouldn’t have been in Texas to begin with and that they should be deported.
“They want you to have sympathy for these people. They want to get out of your bed and to come out of your home and to go find these people and to donate your money to go to find these people,” said the woman who journalist Sarah Fields highlighted as also being the market manager of Freedmen’s Town Farmers Market. “Meanwhile, they are deporting your family members. Meanwhile, they’re setting up concentration camps and prisons for your family members. And I need ya’ll to keep that in mind before ya’ll get out there and put on your rain boots and go find these little girls.”

For Perkins, whose term expired at the beginning of January, the comments on Camp Mystic ensured she would not hold her position again, as Houston Mayor John Whitmire’s (D) office expressed efforts to see her permanently removed.
“The comments shared on social media are deeply inappropriate and have no place in a decent society, especially as families grieve the confirmed deaths and the ongoing search for the missing. The individual who made these statements is not a City of Houston employee. She was appointed to the City’s Food Insecurity Board by former Mayor Sylvester Turner (D) in 2023, and her term expired in January 2025,” read the statement.
“Mayor John Whitmire will not reappoint her and is taking immediate steps to remove her permanently from the board,” it added as others asserted, “She is pure evil and deserves to be fired. No place in politics for this DEMON!”

I am astonished at the hateful and cruel comments about these girls and that “Texas deserves this”! The color of the victims skin should not matter! And this has nothing to do with the deportation of people who entered our country illegally!

Good. That woman should be unemployable.

Disgraceful behavior. Clearly a racist too. She shouldn’t even get to put her bag on her desk tomorrow, before she’s fired.

Good. It probably won’t change her but she will hopefully learn there are consequences to being a terrible human being.
