'Black-ish' "Please, Baby, Please" Unaired Episode

Kenya Barris is brilliant. Watching this shelved episode of 'Black-ish' that premiered on Hulu of all places after ABC refused to air it, and not on Netflix where 'Black AF' made its debut was a little odd. After watching the episode, I fully understand why ABC shelved it, and I believe Kenya is winning because he was ahead of his time. ABC isn't ready, and will never be ready for this level of truth, maybe this is why Kenya took his talents to Netflix in the first place. This episode was shot in November of 2017 and scheduled to air in February of 2018. ABC decided the episode was "too political for the network" and opted to air a repeat instead. I believe this episode is more impactful today than it would have been had it originally aired in February of 2018, because of where we are amid a pandemic equipped with further examples of police brutality. None of which 45 accepts responsibility for.
