So how do you think the race card will be played in this case? It almost always comes up if the person isn't caucasian, so you have to figure it's just a matter of time before the, "I'm black, therefore, if you convict me, Johnny Cochran will be in this courthouse fighting to get you fired" will appear in the case.
The way I see it is, she can have a double whammy of -isms working for her in this case. First, she can play the female card, saying that women suck at driving, because obviously it's true. Along with that, she can use the race card, because whenever I get stuck behind a black person driving, especially in Detroit, they make right hand turns from the left turn lane, either drive 20 under or over the speed limit (no middle ground can be reached), and cut people off like no other!

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
