A Maryland Democratic lawmaker apologized to the states Legislative Black Caucus Monday after calling a district in Prince Georges 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 whats 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 doesnt remember fully what happened, but she recognizes what happened.
I do think that someone who uses the word, its a reflection of whats 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 dont recall that. I dont recall much of that evening, Lisanti said to The Washington Post. She was also asked if she had ever used the racial slur before. Im sure I have. Im sure everyone has used it. Ive used the f-word. I used the Lords 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.

Barnes said it is possible the Black Caucus gives other recommendations to House leadership about Lisantis position in the state House.
Her face reminds me of those smarmy, condescending HS clique girls I went to school with back in the 60’s. Those that were always the Class Presidents, VPs, Treasurers, Student Body reps and Cheerleaders.......................

I think this entire issue is crap. Everyone knows exactly what she was talking about, and though I have no particular knowledge of the area in question, I’d be willing to bet that it was truthful. I believe that there is such a thing as a ‘nigger’ and the person’s color has very little to do with why they might be called that. It is a very descriptive term in the English language, and we are poorer from a linguistic standpoint when the virtue signallers decide that some words are verboten (at least when said by people of the “wrong” color).
