I haven’t been following the Fanni Willis case, but something her father said in court hit hard.

He was asked if at a certain time his daughter had a large amount of cash. He said (paraphrased) oh yes. Sorry, your honor, I don’t mean to be racist, but it’s a Black thing. I had a degree from Harvard and an AmEx and Visa. And merchants refused to take my cards because of the color of my skin. I always told her to keep 6 months of cash on hand always. 😞
