Sounds like they thought, as often happens in society, if they cry "racism" people will start throwing money at them.
When that didn't happen, well of course, that's proof it WAS racism all along.
They expected to get preferential treatment, but were treated like any other person with a fake, so again, because they're black, that's obviously proof of racism.
They knew what they we're doing, and tried working the system. It just hasn't paid off for them yet.
This game gets played in many venues. Here's a similar story.
