excellently handled

8.5

By JohnnyDepp21JS, Nov 25, 2008

An excellent balance between both sides of the story in this, i loved the way the "i have a dream" speech was read as the end creditd rolled, it was a nice touch and i think the episode cleverly presented the extremities of racial violence, the way racial violence was bred into most of those students by their parents who probably believe in the things their parents told them, In this episode it proves just how pointless racism is, without victimising racists or the people caught up in racial violence, the only real message running through the show is that it doesnt matter what the colour of you skin is but what person is underneathmoreless

- Hanson: Well, maybe the rainbow wasn't enough.
  
  This is a reference to the 1975 play "for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf" by Ntozake Shange; used when the squad was trying to figure out why a promising, black, female student would throw herself in front of a car. The play is a series of monologues about identity, race and sexuality.

- Title: Don't Stretch the Rainbow
