Or if they were full of poor people. There's definitely a lot of racists in power but what's most important to them is money. Money is how they determine their own kind

Or people who are not rich or positions of power. It would have ended up like any sting operation.

there would be full blown riots and lynch-killings

2 high profile arrests in the UK for now (white people)

Not to be that guy, but OJ got away with it. Money, power and celebrity is more important than skin color apparently.

He was still charged with murder. He had a great lawyer. These fuckers are not even getting arrested.

I'm inclined to think poor white people wouldn't be getting away with it either.

But this flies in the face of reason because Epstein wasn't interested in poor people. He wanted wealthy people's networking status & investments.

Apparently, from the files, he'd put pictures of himself with a bunch of powerful people all over his properties to intimidate victims away from going to the police. My point is, Epstein co-conspirators escaping accountability is more a class thing than a race thing. Although, I'm now recalling that his emails demonstrate he was a Jewish supremacist, so maybe I'm completely talking out my ass.
