I can tell you stories of black female slaves doing the same thing and worse so I suggest the women that echo chambered themselves to go read up on women that betrayed runaway slaves for their white love interest or preferential treatment,treated their bi racial kids like a meal ticket, sought favor with overseers and did so by being snitching on other women who had said stuff in private , being jealous of stable relationships on the plantation and did their best to fukk it up,using everything from witchcraft to straight up fabrications like rape(and yes that was an punishable offense amongst slaves). There's so much documented material to read but it's this kind of obtuse posting to bird call these dumb non reading idiots that pisses me off.
