Fani Willis Talks About Race in New Speech Despite Judge McAfee's Rebuke
Newsweak ^ | 3/30/24 | Gabe Whisnant

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis spoke about race in a speech on Friday, seemingly in response to part of Judge Scott McAfee's recent order that said she could remain on Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case.

**SNIP**

Willis previously rejected the accusations and said during a speech in January at an Atlanta church that her critics were "playing the race card" given that they had singled out Wade, who is Black.

As part of his March 15 ruling, McAfee focused on Willis' January speech and noted that "the District Attorney described the effort [to disqualify her] as motivated by 'playing the race card.'"

On Friday, Willis appeared at the South Fulton Women of the Shield Awards where she said during a speech, "It's hard out here always having to prove yourself two and three times. Recently, they tell me, they don't like me to talk about race. Well, I'm going to talk about it anyway. Truth is, there's some challenges that come with being Black. And I see so much greatness in this city that has so many great African American leaders. And I appreciate all of the sacrifice that you all have had to make to be in these positions."

**SNIP**

In his order, McAfee took issue with Willis' comments that she and Wade were being scrutinized because of their race. Willis later said she was referring to the defendants, however McAfee said making a distinction was unclear due to Willis' reference to "so many others" and "they" in her January speech.

Sadly because of politically correct idiocy, there are unqualifed white women getting into law school too.

The whole system needs to be revamped. There ARE plenty of intelligent white and black women who can get in on ‘merit’ - that’s how the selection process has to work. One standard. Then we get the best of all races and sexes. The ‘men’ Soros backed for DA’s are just as bad as Fani - maybe worse.

And she standards for disbarring a lawyer have to be the same across the board too. No extra passes for being a women, having a powerful father, or having one pigmentation or another or this kink or that kink. ONE STANDARD,

She got to where she is by being an Angry Black Woman and it’s worked really well so far. In the vein of “If it works, don’t fix it” there is no reason, in her mind, to change a thing. Same for Letitia James. Neither one of them know any other way.

When this entitled vampire starts her ‘race’ shtick, all anyone has to do is remind her of her past school grants and other academic and financial advantages she received while a student, the many hiring ‘diversity’ advantages she got on graduating, the many US government programs and benefits that she enjoyed while she was climbing up the career ladder, etc. ... and finally reaching the place she where could spew ‘racist’, BS AS IF she had to actually struggle like everyone else.

It’s hard to stop exploiting race when it’s all you’ve got or ever had.

The more Fani talks, the more she damages her case against President Trump and the other defendants. They don’t WANT her to shut up. I doubt this case will ever go anywhere. There will be hearings on motion after motion, and then appeals on any Order by the judge. The appeals process will drag this out past November and then, for the left, it will be “what’s the point?”.

The defendants will all have reasons to pursue a positive outcome and will vigorously work to clear their name, but after November the support for Fani by the DC left will dissipate. SHE will want to keep on in order to keep her name in the spotlight and prove her creds with the progressive party, but the deep state support will have moved on to something else.

I fully agree with you with one proviso, it’s still easier for an unqualified black woman to rise to a position like this than a white woman.
