A Maryland Democratic lawmaker apologized to the state’s Legislative Black Caucus Monday after calling a district in Prince George’s County a “n***** district.”
Del. Mary Ann Lisanti, who is white, was approached by the caucus regarding her alleged remarks Monday night, after news broke that Lisanti had said the racial slur at a cigar bar in Annapolis, Maryland, while speaking to a colleague, who was also white, after work late one night.
The Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland chair, Del. Darryl Barnes, said Lisanti apologized multiple times but also added he thinks anyone who uses the word is “a reflection of what’s in their heart,” The Washington Post reported.
“She apologized several times,” Barnes, a Democrat, said. “She recognizes how she has hurt so many within the caucus, and she hoped to repent from this. She said that she doesn’t remember fully what happened, but she recognizes what happened.”
“I do think that someone who uses the word, it’s a reflection of what’s in their heart,” Barnes said.
Lisanti was reportedly questioned about the use of the racial slur in early February. She denied ever using the word but also said she did not remember much of that night. Lisanti also said she is sure she has used the racial slur before in her life.
“I don’t recall that. … I don’t recall much of that evening,” Lisanti said to The Washington Post. She was also asked if she had ever used the racial slur before. “I’m sure I have. … I’m sure everyone has used it. I’ve used the f-word. I used the Lord’s name in vain,” she said.
Maryland Democratic House Speaker Michael E. Busch condemned the comments, saying Lisanti should “face the consequences of her behavior” and that “there is no place in the House of Delegates for any racial slurs — or slurs of any kind in society in general.” (RELATED: ‘Unforgivable’: Trump Calls Out Northam Over Racist Photo And Late-Term Abortion Comments)
Barnes said it is possible the Black Caucus gives other recommendations to House leadership about Lisanti’s position in the state House.
“Lisanti should “face the consequences of her behavior” and that “there is no place in the House of Delegates for any racial slurs — or slurs of any kind in society in general.” “
Ok? Phone us when in a week you guys conveniently forget this happened.
She don’t even have one, but she stepped on it with golf shoes.
Racist pig! Resign immediately, you hater!!! Them “niggers” (as you describe them) might get uppity and kick your a** down the road. She be hatin’ against a whole race of people. Pathetic. Is she a friend with the DIM guv of VA or the AG there? Birds of a feather.
This must be one of those Democrats that forgot to switch parties in the 60s./s
Well...as long as she “apologized”
Thanks....I see now.
Wouldn’t want to be called a raciss AND a cis-idiot by the other side.
Can you imagine if a Republican ever order the N-word it would be news for months
No of course all my black friends can call each other that all day long and nobody gives a crap
And also make every republican publicly condemn that person.
County Demographics..
The racial makeup of the county was as of 2000:
62.70% Black
27.04% White
0.35% Native American
7.12% Hispanic or Latino (of any race)
3.87% Asian
0.06% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander
3.38% Some other race
2.61% Two or more races
In my experience, more democrats are prejudiced and use racial slurs than republicans.
But folks only get triggered if a conservative says it right?
If she doesn’t resign or isn’t called to resign then it’s out that this whole sham about a word that rappers & blacks use all the time isn’t about offense, but more about restricting the speech of a few and dictating who can or can’t use the term.
Nice hypocrisy Dems! Wouldn’t expect anything less from you clowns.
so, he was right
Again, again and again!...I come to inevitable conclusion that there are far worse things in the world than racism.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

"But, Mom!!! Everybody's says those words."
That didn't work for me in second grade.
LOL. Prince George’s County may be a “n***** district”, but its a very affluent “n***** district.” Its more like a GOVERNMENT worker district.
Trump made her do it; so it’s okay with the offended Ns.
RATs are the real racists. They have convinced black people otherwise.
Such a shame. So much proof right before their eyes.
She’s honest.
