she DID play the race card- she asserted that him being shot at a gas station had to do with him 'being a black man'

Yeah...and black men get shot...a lot. And by blacks, too. That ain't playin' the race card. It's a fact.

she never asserted he would be shot by a black. but she did assert that his being shot had to do with his race. No matter what the truth is (that he would probably be shot by another black) she was trying to play the race card.
