The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 10th study session on Jeffrey Toobin's The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson.

The two black males spar over the use of the word nigger. Toobin writes that Cochran called Darden a nigger in a court of law. No other litigator or journalist involved in the case reported hearing this, and Darden's daug
