It was probably inevitable.
The defense lawyer for State Rep. Louise Williams Bishop, a Philadelphia legislator arrested in the sting corruption case, is seeking to have the charges against her dismissed, saying she was targeted for prosecution because she is African American.
To make his case, the lawyer cites Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane's repeated statements that the case may have been tainted by racial prejudice.

The Democrat African American DA of Philadelphia, Seth Williams, wants the corrupt officials prosecuted.
" Williams, a Democrat like Kane, has denounced Kane's decision and called her references to a racial motivation baseless, even "disgusting."
The Philly DA was incensed this was used by Kane
In this . He is an excellent DA. He is black . I hope he runs
For her position .
Here in Atlanta, educators, parents and students snitched on the cheating scandal of the Atlanta Public Schools. Many educators had remorse and plea bargained with the prosecutor and were witnesses against those who did not plea bargain...and still lack remorse.

Never mind that she did it. It’s you for not realizing she was Black and letting her get away with it.
“Prosecutors say the sting’s undercover operative gave Bishop a total of $1,500 during three meetings in 2010 and 2011. They said the informant taped Bishop replying, “That’s a great help. That’s a biggie,” as she pocketed the last payment.”
Yeah, you’re only in trouble because of racism, Ms. Bishop. *eyeroll*
Any excuse to play the race card.

Yes, just like that. LOL

If I were a judge I’d look rather dimly on an attorney stupid enough to make it clear he would try to defeat justice.
