Prince George’s County has a population that is 65 percent black and it is one of the most affluent majority-black counties in America, according to the Census Bureau. Harford, where Lisanti is a delegate, is 80 percent white. Darryl Barnes (D), the chairman of the Maryland black caucus, said the group wants Lisanti to leave her post over the remarks despite the apology. “My hope is that with the censure, she will look herself in the mirror and realize she must resign,” Barnes said, according to The Baltimore Sun. “Quitting is easy, but not the road to redemption,” she said Thursday, according to the Post.
