Now that fans have seen the 2018 episode that addressed Colin Kaepernick's protests -- among other topics -- it's hard to see why it was ever yanked.

At issue was the episode taking a stand on the hot-button issue of the day, which saw the nation -- or at least part of it -- in an uproar over Colin Kapernick kneeling at the national anthem in protest of police brutality against Black Americans.

What this says is that this has always been an issue talked about in the Black community, but maybe ABC wasn't ready to have it be talked about on a national stage.

Perhaps the difference is that while Dre was expressing fears well known in the Black community, the white community was largely ignorant of them.

Again, this was a hot-button issue two years ago, but this year, the NFL has reversed course and is in support of players protesting by kneeling at the anthem should they choose to do so -- Trump and many of his supporters are still not on board.
