This last-ditch excuse doesn’t hold for long, though, and suddenly Ruby is blaming Bow, Johan, and their “family history of blasphemy” for contaminating her granddaughter. Once again, Ruby enters in medias res to find Dre would rather tell her Zoey is dying of an aneurysm than admit one of his kids is flirting with atheism. Johann seems to think those huge hospital A/C units probably account for that. Bow counters that science doesn’t explain everything sometimes things happen in the hospital that can’t entirely be explained away by medical science. Johann responds to this insanity by reasonably pointing out there are plenty of black atheists ( Ta-Nehisi Coates, for one, recently won the National Book Award for Between the World and Me, which offers a completely godless perspective on racism and black life, among other things). He concludes this whole atheism thing must be some white bullsh-t and rushes home to purify his house of the contaminating influence of stuff white people like.īow and Johan subsequently find Dre in the kitchen, desperately trying to flush the family’s entire supply of almond milk and hummus down the sink, preparing to issue a “no more Whole Foods” edict.

Dre considers getting a gun when a nearby house is broken into, sparking a debate on the best ways to protect ones family Zoey asks Pops to teach her karate. recently created a lot of controversy for retweeting a racist meme comparing Syrian refugees to Skittles (which might, in fact, originate with Trayvon Martin famously buying Skittles just before being killed by George Zimmerman), but no, it just happens to be an eerie coincidence. He chooses “Skittles,” and here again I thought the show might get into the weeds of current national dialogue, since Donald Trump, Jr.
