Dre's Not Sure He Can Handle a Vegan Son - black-ish

After Jack (Miles Brown) tells Dre (Anthony Anderson) that he's vegan, Dre asks his coworkers for advice on how to deal. Stevens (Peter Mackenzie) is worried about Jack's breasts, Charlie (Deon Cole) recounts his vegan experience, and Josh (Jeff Meacham) tells his sad vegan conversion story. And then Dre puts his plan in place. From 'black-ish' season 7, episode 16, 'Jack's First Stand.' Watch 'black-ish' TUESDAY 9|8c on ABC, streaming, on demand, and Hulu.

[@S2C8509]

This show's been on for years, and I still can't figure out how Deon Cole delivers his lines without breaking character.

I slept on it but I love it. it very socially and politically conscious not to mention funny.

[@mzbuzzy]

This was initially a reply to someone's comment, but I decided to add this independently. The show is set to reveal social dynamics and fallacies within the black community from primarily the father's perspective, who then later becomes enlightened at the end to his once republican son, ideas of veganism, and power dynamics concerning his wife. Maybe this show wasn't made for you or maybe you just don't get it. All of which are cool

[@tia4057]

Thank you these people actually think these are real people. It's a show if it bothers you that much, stop watching it. Every one is too sensitive cause they're not actually facing their own issues. They get triggered by everything including a fictional TV show.

People get on Dre for the way he treats Junior which I agree is sad. But remember, Dre's father treated him the same way. Dre seems to be parroting the same poor father traits that his dad did, which we all know sadly happens in real life.

[@chiklua]

Is true. But the show has been on for so long that they should give the character some kind of growth.

[@tonyktown]

That would be a valid argument if it weren't for the fact he's more than willing to give Jack the full dad treatment. I've seen this in real life, there is an undercurrent of resentment for he lightskin son.
