Did anyone see the Blackish MLK Episode?

I watched it with my husband. He thought I was like Bo. And I was for a few days. But now I'm more like Dre. Move on, figure out how to move forward with people who don't see things the way you do. Because black people have always gotten the short end of the stick and then... he went there... maybe being a Hillary supporter has some parallels with being black.

'any rate, I'd love to hear other thoughts.

Oh, and what made me laugh was when the Wanda Sykes character said that it was white women's fault that Hillary lost. And the white woman in the room said that white women aren't "sistahs", and have no solidarity... and that she voted for Trump.

stops her and said deadpan "we aren't sisters we hate each other "
I have watched that show since it started and it never disappoints
We try to watch as a family and often have discussions
Yesterday was another perfect example of how different(3) generations have different reactions to events
Another favorite scene earlier this year with politics, was when the granny was going on about what a staunch democrat she always was then answered all her granddaughters questions about this election with (unaware) standard Trump answers and ended with we need to make America great again!

I DVR'd the show - but we had storms come through the area last night and the whole half hour was pixelated and garbled. Satellite reception was bad.
