It has nothing to do with him being black. Hes a celebrity and as a celebrity, his account gets watched. He literally has to "ask" to take out that much... Dont ask me how

I did read it, that's how I know that it doesn't say carrying that amount of cash is illegal.
Reference the exact line that you're talking about since you seem to think that it is saying walking around with more than $10k is illegal
Please point out in that link where it says that it is illegal for someone to carry 10 g's or more
In civil forfeiture, the owner does not need to be convicted of (or even charged with) a crime. Civil forfeiture laws allow law enforcement officers to seize property that they suspect is connected to criminal activity. Then, it’s up to the owner to show that the property has no connection to any crime.
For example, in 2007, Roderick Daniels was driving through East Texas when police stopped him for going two miles per hour over the speed limit. Daniels was on his way to purchase a car and was carrying $8,500 in cash. Police accused him of money laundering and successfully seized the money. There was no other evidence of criminal activity, and Daniels was never formally charged with a crime.
Owners can protect themselves. Property cannot be seized if it was not involved in a crime or if the “innocent owner” was not aware of the illegal nature or use of the property. However, in civil forfeiture cases, owners sometimes have to first file a lawsuit (an expensive proposition) to raise these defenses.

That don't prove it is illegal though in regards to a law. It mentions a law and gives an example but does the specific law state that you can't have more than 10k because even in the example dude didn't have 10k.
did he pay for the car yet?( or do they still have his 100k)

I remember this story and you are wrong, they did not successfully seize the money. In fact Daniels along with other motorists filed a lawsuit against Tanaha police for "fleecing" motorists.
Authorities who seized $8,500 and assorted jewelry from a Tennessee man after a traffic stop in east Texas have agreed to return the property after his case drew attention from CNN.
Police in the small East Texas town of Tenaha are accused of unjustly taking valuables from motorists.

Roderick Daniels said police in Tenaha, Texas, took the money in October 2007 after they stopped him for doing 37 mph in a 35-mph zone. He said police threatened him with money-laundering charges and promised not to prosecute if he signed over the cash, which Daniels said was to buy a new car.
Daniels and other motorists who have been stopped by Tenaha police are part of a lawsuit seeking to end what plaintiff's lawyer David Guillory calls a systematic fleecing of drivers passing through the town of about 1,000. On Friday, after Shelby County District Attorney Lynda Russell refused repeated requests to discuss cases like Daniels' with CNN, her office filed papers dropping its claim on his property.
"I just feel blessed," Daniels said. "I am happy everything is going good right now. ... I just want to celebrate."
