The southside was more than half black and when I graduated from St. Petersburg High School in 1968 my class was about 40% black. Whites and black got along for the most part and we respected the police. I think it's just a cop out when people excuse this attitude and behavior as a 'ghetto thing'.

I agree. I do not believe race has anything to do with lying. She is a proven liar so how much of what she says will the jurors believe? Some people just lie anytime they want to get their way or to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. I have known lots of poor people (black, white and brown) and most were upstanding citizens who worked hard and lived according to and respected the laws of our nation. Race and financial status is no excuse for that type of behavior.
