This is actually what exploitation looks like.

It's called informed consent. They have the right to make informed decisions about their health and well-being and the health and well being of their families. https://twitter.com/LucyYang7/status/1244833086577217536

This should not be celebrated especially because they're black women - health care aides are disproportionately women of color - and early data suggests that black people are more likely to die from covid, atop the systemic biases in healthcare against black people

To be blunt: if these women get sick they are less likely to get adequate care simply because they are black women.

I do not understand celebrating that they were put in harms way, without their consent.

Also, calling them angels in this context sits uncomfortably close, for me, with the racist idea that black people are superhuman.

We aren't.

These women are crying in the video - they're scared. https://slate.com/technology/2014/11/whites-see-blacks-as-superhuman-strength-speed-pain-tolerance-and-the-magical-negro.html
