Looks like this African immigrant is becoming well acclimated with the American way of doing things. If things don't go your way blame someone else and if you're black your race.

But the story took a sharp turn in the hands of lawyer Ken Thompson who, after Diallo left the stage, made the case into one of race.
"If it wasn't for race, if it wasn't for class, do you think [Diallo] would be treated this way?" he said.
The DA has suggested the case is in trouble. Not because of Diallo's race, but because she previously lied about being gang-raped and discussed Strauss-Kahn on the phone with a jail inmate accused of drug trafficking. And then, there's the matter of $100,000 that was reportedly funneled into her bank account by unsavory types.
None of this, of course, has to do with whether she was sexually attacked, but it undermines her credibility and ability to testify.
So change the subject. Make it about race. And while you're at it, buy a glamorous wardrobe and glittery lip gloss and attract an adoring fan club.
