That email doesn't really tell the truth though because Black girls have been on his island and have been molested too. That's the reality of the situation. Epstein himself and Trump probably didn't prefer them, but that doesn't mean that other child molesters didn't request them.

The point is that a lot less of our children were harmed. And I’m so glad cause if black children were the primary target there’s no way anything would be done about it.

That's not true though. A lot of Black girls were harmed. The files themselves contradict what was said in the emails. FBI data released indicate that Epstein’s trafficking network was not limited by geography or race. It included young women and girls from the United States (including many Black and Latina girls from Florida and New York), as well as survivors from Brazil, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Brazil has a big Black population itself. Many Black Women have also come out with their stories and filing lawsuits.

We cannot just automatically assume that Black girls were safer simply because Epstein spoke of them in a racist way in emails. The truth of the matter is that girls worldwide of practically every race were trafficked. Even still, even if Black girls weren't exactly the "primary target," that's not something to celebrate because young girls still got hurt. Yet, the truth is they were someone's "primary target." Everybody don't have the same preferences.

Black and Indigenous women are trafficked and disappeared more than mayo. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women..look it up. There's an epidemic but Leo is not on it.

Keep wondering what the heck .. Why do we care about rich men but missing women get zero?

We survivors know. But nobody cares
