I’m going to go through a list of your co-stars and you tell me what you think of them.
I decided to make a post in an attempt to explain white privilege, something I’m finally attempting to become aware of:
Based on a brilliant post by zorascreation
Imagine it is 100 years after the Wizarding War. Prejudice against Muggleborns has been prevalent even before the War. During the War, Muggleborns were rounded up, forced to register with the government, sent to prison, and often killed purely for being Muggleborn.
Fast forward, imagine Muggleborns have fought hard to establish greater legal rights in their society. They are now protected from some forms of discrimination.
However, prejudice against Muggleborns still runs rampant. They still are oppressed in society. The “Mudblood” word is still used in an attempt to hurt them. Trying to take back the slur “Mudblood,” Muggleborns have begun reclaiming it. They also have begun asking for more legal protections - legal protections that will not fix their oppression, that will not even make them close to as powerful as purebloods are - but will make the gap between Muggleborns and Purebloods in wizarding society a little bit smaller. Some Muggleborns may react in anger to their oppression - they might call purebloods Death Eaters or use some other word (but no word they can ever create will be half as hurtful as the word “Mudblood” - the word people like them were oppressed with).
However, this does not please some purebloods. How dare the Muggleborns ask for protections? How dare it be okay for Muggleborns to say “Mudblood,” when for Purebloods it would be considered offensive? They are angry. They make up a word for something they call “bloodism.” They put it in their dictionaries, and they define it as “the belief that any blood purity level is better than or should be treated different than another one.”
“Ha,” they say to the Muggleborns, ”You’re just being bloodist. You believe your blood purity level has characteristics that mean you deserve to be treated then us.” The Muggleborns are confused. After all, purebloods created the entire system of bloodism that now pervades wizarding society in the first place. The purebloods point to their definition, ignoring the fact that they created that definition in the first place, saying, “You’re just being reverse bloodist. We’re all the same, really. You should just be blood-blind.”
BASICALLY HOW ELEMENTARY SHOULD BE DONE, LET’S BE HONESTJoanne Watson (Lucy Liu) was a top graduating student at USMA, destined for a long and successful career in the military. However, after sustaining a near-fatal shoulder wound, she was deployed from her service in Iraq and sent back to live a standard civilian life. Fast-forward two years later, and Joanne is a shell of the woman she once was. Restless, she is barely able to hold her part-time job at the local clinic and is on the verge of losing her one bedroom apartment.That all changes when an off-chance meeting, Joanne meets her: Sherlock Holmes (Kerry Washington). The most aggravating, self-centered, brilliant person she has ever met. In an epic chase to solve a string of unusual murders, she finds herself wrapped up in the whirlwind that is Sherlock Holmes and her life of danger, action, and mystery.

Recently I’ve been disturbed to see BBC Sherlock writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat receive extremely rude tweets from people on Tumblr. It’s absolutely not the first time this kind of thing has happened to any celebrity; the fangirl stereotype has been around for a long time for a reason. However, it saddens me to see people being disrespectful and crossing the line.
I decided to write this to Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat, Louise Brealey, and Lara Pulver (and to the rest of the cast and crew) in hopes to show them that the fandom does not just consist of the extremist fanperson and that we do love and appreciate everything they do.
I am not in anyway condemning the fanperson lifestyle. I love being a fangirl. I love reading every type of fanfiction, staying up late with friends to watch a show or movie, making our own art out of cannon, bouncing and flailing like a hyper-bunny in excitement over something that happened, wildly speculating on what’s going to happen next, shipping, reblogging the flawless fandom art created by people here on Tumblr, etc. My fangirling is absolutely an expansion on the stories that I love.
What I refuse to do is to go overboard with it. I will never be intentionally disrespectful to anyone in these fandoms, cast and crew included. Our fandom is based on their collective art. While they might occasionally want to hear what our thoughts are about their show, we should never shove our fandom in their faces. They have their own ideas on where their story is going. They are professionals who have their own legacy that they’re trying to create. Frankly, I feel like a series looses its intrigue when it gives itself completely over to the fans to placate them.
I want to know what their story is. If I’m not satisfied wholly with it, I’ll go read or write my own fanfiction or I’ll make a gifset or something. I will not attack the writers and actors for not taking the story where I want it to go.
Theater and writing is about having your own voice. About having the courage to tell a story that might just provoke thought.
So, please, be respectful of everyone in this fandom. Don’t dehumanize the very people who bring us their art.
Thank you. Thank you all for sharing your creativity and filling my life with its beauty.

And there is nothing more to say.
During World War II, Josephine Baker served with the French Red Cross and was an active member of the French resistance movement. The French Resistance was a group of individuals who helped to win the war against the German Nazis enemy with undercover work. Using her career as a cover Baker became an intelligence agent, carrying secret messages written in invisible ink on her sheet music. She was awarded honor of the Croix de Guerre, and received a Medal of the Resistance in 1946. In 1961 she received the highest French honor, the Legion d’Honneur from French president Charles deGaulle.
She would also tuck tiny notes into her skirts when she did burlesque routines, and would dance up to the intended recipient and let him pluck it out. Really brave, really smart, really interesting lady, on top of all her artistic talents.
