"Black-ish" is set to address the issue of brutality in the police force in an episode that will air Feb. 24. The episode, titled "Hope," has Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) and Andre "Dre" Johnson (Anthony Anderson) discussing with family members, including their four children, a fictional incident of police brutality that happened in their community.

"Unfortunately the things that we are dealing with in this episode are not new, especially to the black and brown community. It's something that's been going on for quite some time," said Anderson, according to Variety.

The discussion between the family shows that not all of them agree on certain things that their children should see and what they need to know.

Andre believes the children need to know more about the world and the obstacles it brings at an early age, while Rainbow would prefer to protect the children from the harsher realities of life in any way she can, according to the Boston Herald.

Kenya Barris, the executive producer of the show, admitted that he wrote the episode after he tried to talk to his own children about the topic, especially highly publicized ones seen on television.

"It was this big division at my house because I had my feelings that I wanted to spout out," said Barris, according to Breitbart News. "But my wife had her feelings, and the biggest thing is, how do you talk about your frustrations and your angers, but at the same time not take away your kids' hope and ability to still want to grow and thrive within a world that they have to live in?"
