      “The group that should be in the streets has been bought off.”

      He is at least aware of the inequality and would have empathy with protesters.

      Of course, it doesn’t necessarily follow that he would want “hip black people in hip cars” to protest so I’m not saying he is innocent, just that this email doesn’t necessarily imply evil thinking.

        That statement reads less of a suggestion of what’s right and more of an awareness of what they’re doing is wrong. 🤢

          In this case it’s awareness of how damaging Jay Z and Beyonce’s influence is, rather than their own.

          But I will concede the argument to you. I’m more than happy to assume that everyone in the Epstein files is guilty, and they should prove their innocence.
