With Apologies to Jesse Jackson
"With Apologies to Jesse Jackson" is the first episode of the eleventh season of the American animated television series South Park. The 154th overall episode of the series, it first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on March 7, 2007, and was rated TV-MA-L. In the episode, Randy says the word "niggers" on the real-life game show Wheel of Fortune, leading to widespread public outrage. Stan Marsh attempts to understand the epithet's impact on his black friend Token Black. Meanwhile, a man with dwarfism has a hard time trying to teach Eric Cartman to be sensitive.
Parker and Stone had long wanted to create an episode exploring the racial slur, but struggled with a plot line beyond its opening scene. They subsequently found it easier to work on following comedian Michael Richards' controversy, in which he screamed the slur at hecklers.
Despite the uncensored frequent usage of the racial slur, the episode attracted very little media attention. Parents Television Council founder L. Brent Bozell III criticized the lack of protest against the episode. The episode was critically acclaimed by contemporary television critics, who praised the episode's humor and storyline. According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by 2.8 million viewers the week it was broadcast. "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson" was released on DVD along with the rest of the eleventh season on August 12, 2008.
Randy Marsh is on Wheel of Fortune and has made it to the bonus round. The episode is airing live, with his family watching him from the audience and the South Park residents watching from home. Randy has to solve a puzzle in the category "People Who Annoy You". He is given the letters R, T, S, L, and E before asking for the letters B, N, G, and O, after which the puzzle spells "N_GGERS". Randy has 10 seconds to solve the puzzle, but is hesitant to say what he thinks is the answer, not sure if it is appropriate. However, after Pat Sajak tells Randy he has five seconds, Randy answers "niggers", which shocks everyone; the correct answer is then revealed to be "naggers".
At school the next day, Cartman tells Stan that the event was "the funniest thing" he ever saw and that Token will be mad at Stan for Randy's actions. Stan goes to Token to try and explain by saying that his father is not a racist but is just "stupid". Cartman, seeing an opportunity to incite conflict, tries to get the two into a "race war". Instead of fighting, Token criticizes Stan for his lack of understanding how it feels to hear the slur and walks away. Cartman sees this as forfeit and runs away screaming: "Whites win!"
Seeking forgiveness, Randy visits Jesse Jackson to apologize. Jackson bends over his desk and tells Randy to apologize by kissing his buttocks. Randy does so and a picture is taken, which is then put into the news. Stan seeks out Token, expecting everything to be better now since his dad apologized, yet Token is still mad, retorting, "Jesse Jackson is not the emperor of black people!", to which Stan replies, "He told my dad he was…"
In light of recent events, the school brings in a dwarf author, Dr. David Nelson, who travels to schools nationwide with sensitivity seminars. However, as soon as Nelson walks onstage, Cartman bursts into hysterics. At first, Nelson believes that he would tire himself out, but realizes that he has no chance to talk, even after Mackey shouts at Cartman to be quiet.
Randy goes to Laugh Factory, where he is singled out by black comedian Coyote Brown (who resembles Chris Rock), who calls Randy a "Nigger-Guy". Thereafter, the denizens of South Park use the name against Randy, making him feel like an outcast. Back at school, Nelson discusses Cartman with Principal Victoria and Mr. Mackey, and asks to meet with him. When Cartman arrives, all he can do is continue to laugh and heckle. Nelson tries to insist that Cartman's words do not hurt him, but as Cartman laughs, Nelson loses his temper and yells at him. This shocks Mackey and Victoria, in contrast to their prior indifference over Cartman's treatment of Nelson.
