"I wonder how Nifong got her to make these rape charges in the first place. /sarcasm"
I think that's going to be the second, if less important, half of this debacle. Black racists everywhere are becoming quick to blame Nifong for Mangum's role. Mangum is a victim of society, poverty, etc., until she falsely cried rape, at which point she immediately became a victim of Nifong's misconduct, giving her seamless enjoyment of unquestionable victimhood in perpetuity so as to excuse her and their own behavior.
I think you are right.
