In Chicago? Give me an effing break. He stands a far greater chance of getting shot by another black man than getting shot because he's (half) black.

Did she say he might get shot by a white guy??? NO.

She said that because he's a black candidate, he stands a good chance of getting shot at a gas station.

Why? Well in her mind, it's because he's a black POTUS candidate, she is inferring that because of that, he stands a good chance of getting shot by white people IN ANY PUBLIC PLACE, not just at a gas station.

That is a racist remark, playing the race card, or what ever you want to call it along those lines.

Did she say he might get shot by a white guy??? NO.

No, she implied it because it would have made no sense for her otherwise to have mentioned her hubby's putative blackness. She was stating that it was because he was black that he could be shot: black = shot; not shot = not black.
