It’s just business. She’s simply using the incident to stir the pot. The real hustlers know full well that they are selling carefully tended bovine excrement, but that’s the nature of the hustle. It’s how they pay the rent, etc.
They probably know, or at least suspect, they’re skating close to the edge, but they really don’t have a choice, not the way they see it. Without race hustling, they don’t have anything to sell which means they lose their wealth, their social clout, and everything else that matters to them.
Oh, no doubt they do know that there may come a time when the hammer drops, the riots start, and things get very nasty. And you can bet when they do they will be in the middle of a crowd, egging them on, but far enough away from the fray to be safe.
Of course, you can also expect them to do a quick vanishing act if things get too hot. First rule of any successful con artist is to keep an exit clear in case you need to lam out of town ahead of the posse.

And all the while, blaming it on conservatives, republicans, the Tea Party, Chick Fil A, Christians and anyone else who doesn’t toe their line. I’m sick sick sick of it.

They may think so in their delusion (liberalism IS a mental disorder), but they’ll be wrong. The flames they are fanning for personal gain will leave few unscathed.
I agree. You make great points but I must admit the idea of rewarding them with a set aside hunting season would be delightful as well. :) Evil people.
