‘The Equalizer’ Exposes the ‘Fresh Face’ of Antisemitism in Spirited Storyline (Uncommon Video)
“We can’t wrestle hate alone. We want every other,” co-showrunner Adam Glass tells TheWrap

“After I used to be a miniature little bit of 1 rising up Jewish, they instill the complete anguish in you, , esteem ‘you’re white except they gain out you’re Jewish’ [and] ‘don’t build on a famous person David out in public,” Harry says. “And I didn’t pay any consideration to it.” He figured that nothing used to be going to happen to prepare to him, “to our generation.”
He quickly learns that the fresh face of hate isn’t swastika or white hoods, “it’s the person on the grocery retailer or it’s the mailman.”
“The Equalizer” co-showrunner Adam Glass tells TheWrap, “We can’t wrestle hate alone. We want every other. We want to preserve standing up for every other. It’s laborious work, it’s slow work, on the opposite hand it’s the work of our lives. We’re in a time when white supremacists are actively working to stitch hate between marginalized communities. Can’t enable that to separate us.”
