That's what I thought at first, that clearly the readers were supposed to dislike her, and that she was going to turn out to be the villain. But nope. I mean it showed over and over that she was not particularly nice (she also sent death threats to the black guy and looked for hitmen to kill him although she didn't go through with it, all because he dared to be friends with her daughter, she also beat a few other characters with various heavy objects, she destroyed other people's property because she was mad, etc.) but in the end it turned out everyone really was out to get her and they were wrong and she was innocent (but it never acknowledged all the awful things she really did do, it was "well, she didn't kill anyone, so it's all good, the end!"). The black guy ended up getting killed, and at first the cops thought she did it, but no, the bad guys did it and framed her for it, and then when she found out he really was innocent, she was suddenly talking about how he was such a great friend to her daughter and she became friends with his family (why they'd want to be friends with her after all the shit she did to him, I don't know). It was just...bad.

Weird. I could get it if the protagonist is supposed to be likeable but flawed (with the intention the readers roll their eyes at "I have a black friend"), and I could get it if the protagonist is an anti-hero and just not a good person, but what you describe just sounds like some kind of kooky power fantasy written by a prejudiced person with a victim complex.
