OMG YOU GUYS!!! ISN’T THE DOCTOR SUCH A GOOD FRIEND? HE TOOK MARTHA TO A TIME IN HISTORY WHERE SHE WAS TREATED AS SUB-HUMAN BECAUSE HE JUST LOVED HER AS HIS FRIEND SO FUCKING MUCH.

THIS WAS GOOD FOR HER BECAUSE WE JUS LOVES US SOME SERVITUDE. THERE WERE LIKE, RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS AND SHIT TOO.

Because taking Martha to places where she’s treated as less than for the color of her skin is how the Doctor shows his love, y’all…

And Lawd KNOWS us darkies luv massa so much! Especially when missus tells us how us darkies can’t be nothin…

Every time I see these scenes the history major in me starts twitching. Black women had been training to be doctors in the UK & the US for almost 40 years at this point. Were there a lot of them? No. But there was a lot of coverage of the ones who did succeed. If she knew women were training to be doctors, then she knew some of them were women of color.
