    Hi! Im from Argentina and came across your videos and i really like them, and this one in particular. I must say, i love Beyonce, and this album, literally was the thing that got me out of bed in the morning, when i was feeling very depressed, so its really difficult to talk badly about her, but as Khadija always says, two thing can be true at once, and is a reality that, even though Beyonce its not the one who is exploiting all those worker, and violating all those humans rights herself, we know that power or her cloud is beyond anything compare to any other celebrity, and there is even more of a chance that this things change, even a tiny bit, if she said something, and shine a light on these issues, it could even make more of a difference than a campaing of the UN, or something like that.
    But when she work for them, she protects this men who have a ridiculous amount of power, and thats the thing thats scary. If they are already doing this things, and they can even buy Beyonces integrity, then theres truly nothing that can stop them destroying the world.
    I have more thoughts on some of the other things that you said, but im gonna develop them answering to some of the comments that people are saying, y de paso cañazo, as we say in Argentina so i can also help yoy boost your algorith. 💞
