A fundraiser for Sade Perkins, a former Houston official, is aiming to collect $20,000 in donations after she faced backlash for making a "Whites-only" remark about the young victims of the Camp Mystic floods, where 27 girls died. The controversy has sparked outrage, with critics calling her comments racially insensitive.

Editor’s Note: This story isn’t just about a fundraiser—it’s about accountability and the lingering impact of racially charged statements, especially from public figures. Perkins’ remarks have reignited discussions about racism in disaster response and public discourse, making it a flashpoint in broader conversations about equity and sensitivity in crisis situations.
