...predominantly African-American players for permission to use the word “nigger” (as they did) to denote toughness, heart and passion, they agreed. But when news of Dambrot’s usage got out, the college administration reproached and then fired him. Kennedy thinks that Dumbrot??s usage was ill-advised, but thinks his being fired was too harsh a sentence. Herein lies the contradiction. If racist intent was not apparent in Dambrot’s use, what else constituted its inappropriateness? Is ignorance or the simplification of the word?
