The reverend boyfriend of a former Houston mayoral appointee disavowed her tirade against Camp Mystic following the death of 27 campers and counselors in the catastrophic Texas floods.

Sadé Perkins, a Black woman who was previously appointed as Houston's Food Insecurity Board by former Mayor Sylvester Turner from 2023 to January 2025, gave a racially-motivated response regarding the all-girls Christian camp just hours after the tragedy took place. Colin Bossen, a White man who is senior minister at First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston, apologized to his congregation over his girlfriend's comments while acknowledging that he never endorsed them to begin with in a statement obtained by the Daily Mail.

“My partner Sadé Perkins has made comments on social media regarding the horrific flooding that devastated Camp Mystic,” Bossen wrote. “I want to be clear that I disavow her comments.”

“I apologize to my congregation,” he added. “I will continue to work to repair the harm this incident has caused.”

“Her comments have caused harm to many who are experiencing terrible loss and anxiety,” Bossen continued. “Her comments were not in the spirit of the Unitarian Universalist values centered around love that my congregation and I share.”

Perkins shared a video on her private TikTok account claiming that Camp Mystic was a white-only camp.

“I know I’m going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls' Christian camp. They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token Black person. It’s an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp," she said.

“If you ain’t white you ain’t right, you ain’t gettin’ in, you ain’t goin’. Period,” Perkins added before insisting that the public wouldn't care if the victims were minorities.

“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–k, 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’ and yada yada yada,” Perkins said.

The former Houston mayoral appointee then shared a followup video doubling down on her comments.

“I get that white people are not used to people telling them and calling them out on their racism and telling them about their double standards and how you wouldn’t give a damn about other children and how there’s children in ICE detention right now who y’all don’t give two f–ks about,” she said. “There’s no prayers going up for them, but we’re supposed to stop the world and stop everything we’re doing to go and hunt for these little missing white girls.”

A total 27 campers and counselors from the Camp Mystic are confirmed to have died in relation to the catastrophic floods in Texas over the weekend, the Christian girls camp confirmed in a post shared on its website.

"Camp Mystic is grieving the loss of 27 campers and counselors following the catastrophic flooding on the Guadalupe river," the statement reads. "Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly.

"We have been in communication with local and state authorities who are tirelessly deploying extensive resources to search for our missing girls.

"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from community, first responders, and officials at every level.

"We ask for your continued prayers, respect and privacy for each of our families affected. May the Lord continue to wrap His presence around all of us."
