Black-ish - Season 2 Episode 16: Hope
Andre 'Dre' Johnson Sr., an African-American advertising executive who tries to pass on some of his urban culture to his seemingly uninterested children. Like any parents, Andre 'Dre' and Rainbow Johnson want to give their children the best. But their offspring's childhood is turning out to be much different than theirs. As he defines what the American dream means to his family in a multi-cultural world, one idea keeps surfacing. It appears that in this melting pot called America, we are all a little black-ish.
