As someone who is more than aware of this show's Leftist pandering, I completely expected a complete dehumanization of Black Republicans. And the episode started off as such. But to my surprise there is an interesting exchange between Junior and his parents. He asks them why they vote Democrat. They are unable to answer and just re iterate they are suppose to. Then the episode got interesting...for a moment. Are they going to see the other side? Are they going to address Republicans abolitionists roots? Will they portray the family of Hillary (Junior's girlfriend's family) as real people? Well...sort of Hillary's family is not portrayed as particularly snobbish or mean spirited. In fact, it is Junior's family that is portrayed as irrational and confrontational. But the show still showcases Dre and Bow as the one's with the CORRECT opinion. No gray area or matters to discuss or even agree on. Just "Don't Vote Republican" and hate any Black person who does. To make matters worse, it turns out Junior has no conviction or true political opinions. Turns out, all it takes for a young Black man to agree with you is a good old pair of C Cups. Hmmmmm...Sexist much. I feel I was duped with this episode. I thought I was getting liberal bias. Then it seemed I was getting a nuanced perspective. In the end it was the former. Which is fine. Almost everything has a liberal/conservative bias. I just wish Blackish didn't try to hide it's biases behind the guise of a "balanced view"
