I’ve been neglecting to mention this a lot on this site, but in case you’re new, I recap black-ish weekly for Entertainment Weekly! Here’s a poignant part I had to say about last week’s episode, “Martin Luther sKiing Day”:

But as we have sadly seen, there are people who do condone and excuse these acts. Still, as Andre Jr. observed, fear shouldn’t keep us from living our lives. The way to stop racism is to not give in.
