Quiz 9 : With Apoligies to Jesse Jackson















In the episode "With Apoligies to Jesse Jackson", it begins with the father on Wheel of Fortune . He guesses the "n" word in the category of people that annoy you when in fact the word was supposed to be naggers. The episode comments on the offensiveness of the word and how it seems to be ok if a black person were to say the word, but not a white person, and how it is simply or can be a comedic term in the black community but is not appropriate when used by a white person such as when the fatehr goes to a comedy club and there is a balck persona nd he repeadetly uses the "n" word. The father is then constantly called the "n" guy which comments on the offensiveness of the term and how all people whoa re called this word group together. in the end he goes to Congress to try to make this word illegal which shows how no white eprson wants to be viewed as racist.Other post modernism refrences that are used are the black child that goes t school with the children and his name is "token". Also, there is a gorup of redneck white men who would normally be viewed as white supremacists considering they even have the confederate flag on their clothes but instead they go after the white people who use this word.
