How is a "cash bail" part of systemic racisim?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46813points) February 22nd, 2021

Illionois becomes the first state to eliminate cash bail.
It claims this is somehow supposed to be combating systemic racism. Whut? How else is anyone supposed to pay their bail? Check? Credit card?
I’m confused. What does cash have to do with systemic racism?
