Would They Say This If This Was A White Girl Accussing A Black Man Of Rape?

From the Houston Chronicle:  As community leaders mobilize support for a Yates High School student who admitted she lied about being sexually assaulted last week, Houston police have not ruled out the possibility of criminal charges against the teen.
The 15-year-old girl told police that a man abducted her on Noah Street near Cyrill Park on the way home from school, dragged her into an abandoned house and sexually assaulted her. She provided a detailed description of man, as well as other information....
Imam Khalis Rashaad said the girl and her mother, a single working mom with two jobs, are "apologetic and remorseful" about the situation. Rather than "throwing the whole family under the bus," he said, "let's pull behind her and see what assistance we can give to the family."
Rashaad, of the Ibrahim Islamic Center, said the outreach center is available to organize services for the family that could include tutoring, nutritional counseling and financial management. And if it's needed, the center would arrange psychological counseling for the teen.....
"We don't know what the true story is, and to give statements and talk about facts that we don't know for sure would be inappropriate because of possible legal repercussions," she said. Evangelista-X said the girl could face criminal charges for making a false police report, and the city "could file claims for using city monies in order to find a perpetrator that did not exist."
HPD spokeswoman Jodi Silva said the criminal investigation of the case has been closed. "However, there is still an active and open investigation," she said, but declined to elaborate.  http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Teen-who-made-false-rape-report-offered-support-4004395.php
It's pretty clear from the pictures and the article that the girl involved is black.
Would these people who say that the girl should be forgiven be so forgiving if the story was about a white woman accusing a black man of rape/sexual assault?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
