You‘ve gotten entangled in khive’s fury at Mrs O being respected/preferred & getting top billing over their fave who they amplify/force-feed the masses. They couch their fury in generalities about “Black women as labor” but this is really about their resentment of Mrs O being touted over their fave😜
