#shoutout to ian for coming back in power of the doctor. AS HE SHOULD!!
ian chesterton and barbara wright are the blueprint because the doctor was initially just this old, kinda tetchy scientist who thought humans were stupid and also annoying, but then he accidentally kidnaps these two teachers because they followed his granddaughter home after realizing her address was an empty lot and growing worried for her. they cared enough to get personally involved beyond what was technically required of them.
throughout their adventures he watches as barbara defends ancient civilizations, remaining kind and empathetic in the face of violence and pain. he sees ian risk everything time and time again to get barbara and susan home safe. he watches them convince others to stand up and fight for what’s right. he sees the way they never give up, never give in, and above all, always try their best to do the right thing.
they don’t always get it right! but they never stop trying, and slowly, ever so slowly, we see the doctor change from a man who holds himself above and apart to the quipping, quirky hero we are so well acquainted with in new who.
the doctor has always modeled his morals on the humans he travels with. they are the ones he turns to when he begins to fly too far above it all. so really, we owe the existence of the doctor to ian and barbara: the first of so many. they deserve more love.

Black Experience
Black
I love being black
I love being called black
Black
Black is me
Black is you
Black is my mother
Black is your brother
Black is beautiful
Black is dark
Black is light
Black is power
Black is bold
Black is love
Black is amazing
Black is culture
Black is kingdom
Black is a lot of things , call this the preparation
Now it’s time for the interpretation
Maybe you’ll learn some information
It’s the 21st century we’ve come a long way since segregation
Yet we still suffer from discrimination
No need for a round of applause
We all have our perfections and flaws
Let’s just take a moment to pause
Chilvary isn’t dead , I’ll still be the man to open up doors
Without reason there’s no cause
Black is not just our colour it’s our core .
It’s what I’m living for , Bernie Grant, Iganutis Sancho and Mary Seacole we’re fighting and dying for
As black people in this country
We’ve dealt with a load of fuckery
We need to empower are sisters and brothers
Regardless of the views of others
Many accounts of micro aggression
Suffered too much oppression
Many can be consumed by depression
Back in 07 I was that black boy who grew up listening to Black boys , now I’m now that black boy who grew to a black man thinking about one day having a black boy
All the media see is negativity
Black men only identified as an IC3
Instead of educated beings trying to get a university degree
Black women seen as loud and trouble
I’ll tell right now let’s burst that bubble
Black Kings Nubian Queens
Our history is vivid but far from pristine
The tears that have been shed flow like streams
We are manifestions of our ancestors dreams
Just because we have a dark complexion
Why does the world see it as an imperfection
Instead of coming together and creating a connection
Just need to apply a bit of direction
From Caramel to Charcoal
Appreciate your tone that’s the goal
The way they discuss black women is tragic
Don’t ever stop shining with that black girl magic
Shout out Henrietta Lacks
Your cells provide us with a break through of scientific acts
Your beautiful spirts and gentle nature there’s so much to extract
Wise words from my mother impacts
From your curves to kinks in your hair
Your souls are so pure and rare
Never disregard your position you always deserve care
No one should disrespect you don’t they dare
Shoutout Walter Tull , Ian Wright, Stormzy.
Many sevred in the World wars but he first black solider recognised by the British military. Next was Wrighty who wore that Arsenal shirt and became so legendary, only second to King Thierry . Last but not least is Stormzy first black man and second youngest who shelled down Glastonbury
Vibrant colours flows around as Notting Hill carnival arrives
The young need to live their lives
The old look back on photo achieves
Life needs enjoy so why not enjoy the late night drives
As these words flow on the pages
From the mind to pen and paper
No longer locked up in a cages
Allow the mind to soar higher than the skyscraper
No matter if you are African or Caribbean boys
Or a Caribbean or African Goddess
If you are black and proud then make some noise
You are loved and appreciated that’s a promise
Remember you can be anything
Shoot for the moon if you miss you’ll be amongst the stars
So proud of my melanin
We have all come so far
Black beauty needs to appreciation
Black heroes require more recognition
From teachers , doctors , to sports stars and a musician
Pride is the ultimate position
Inspiring the youth is underlying mission
We are all playing our position
This is a 2019 edition
I love being called black , I love being black
Yeah I said it and I’ll never take it back
