Race Traitors

The Equalizer Season 4 Episode 20: Race Traitors Aired on CBS: June 29, 1989 Directed by: Robert E. Warren Written by : Robert Sabaroff Featuring: Laurence Fishburne, David Andrews, Michael Cerveris, Verna Bloom, John Cale The antipenultimate Equalizer episode. This one is... woo boy. The Equalizer is going against a local chapter of neonazi skinheads including a childhood friend of Mickey's. Does the episode approach the topic delicately? Well it starts right off with stock footage of the Third Reich and sails on from there. At the very least, the viewpoint of the Equalizer and the show is in line with today's sensibilities. That said, maybe for the best that so much off the plot focused on weird white supremacy middle management. It's a very strange angle on a very real and sensitive topic. Similarly, Chris and Chuck handle the coverage of this episode with the delicacy of a runaway elephant. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com https://www.facebook.com/equalizerspodcast/
