South Park: With Apologies to Jesse Jackson

In a the first episode of season 11 of South Park, show creators took on the touchy subject of race in "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson." The episode begins with Randy Marsh, the dad of main character Stan, appears on Wheel of Fortune and is asked to solve the puzzle of "somebody who annoys you" when the letters given are "n_gger." With some hesitation, Randy eventually proclaims the n-word on TV, to which there is general gasp. This is followed, of course, by the host revealing the answer to be "nagger". This causes a bizarre series of events in which Randy must apologize to blacks everywhere by literally kissing Jesse Jackson's butt, and after which he is ostracized by whites everywhere as a "n*gger guy," or someone who uses the n-word.
The whole episode contains satire on racial conflict in general, the way its solved, and the use of the n-word in society. For example, the day after Randy says the word on television when Stan goes to school, the insensitive fat kid, Cartman, makes it a big deal when Stan and the the school's token black kid, "Token," meet in the hall. Cartman shouts, "RACEWAR! Racewar everybody! C'mon Token and Stan are about to fight about Stan's dad saying the n-word!" A crowd gathers, and when Token says, "This is stupid, you don't get it," to Stan, and walks away, Cartman yells, "Token forfeits! Whites win again!" This is a comment on the publicity and competitiviness that is involved in racial conflicts in our society. That is not to say that such conflicts do not exist, but it does feel sometimes as though people are trying to start a race war, even if they do not say it so explicitly.
Also, the issue of apologies for racial wrongdoings is addressed with the apology to Jesse Jackson in which Randy kisses his ass. A picture of it it then put on the front of the newspaper with the headline, "N*ggerguy Apologizes." This is just a literalization of the line kissing someone's ass. It refers to the meaningless apologies given by those who are publicly recorded doing things that are condemned. Celebrities give public apologies to meaningless figures to apologize for saying the n-word, "faggot," and other slurs and hurtful phrases. Obviously they are only apologizing because they were caught, and even though the apology is meaningless it just continues everytime a well-viewed person makes such a statement.
Finally, there are the red necks at the end of the episode who say they don't take to kindly to "n*gger guys." What follows is Stan being chased in a lynch-type scenario that an African-American could find themselves in at anytime in America. He then finds solidarity with other celebrities that have accidentally said the n-word in public. Together they bond and pass a law banning people from saying "n*gger guy" though the actual n-word is not banned. This is a comment on how things only really change when white people, even a minority of white people, want something change. On the whole the episode is a fantastic satire of race relations in America.
