It's the same message that we as a culture send to our professional athletes; and that is that they are above the law.
One person struggles, we all struggle. One person triumphs, we all triumph. Worm : "That's my nigga right there. If you was any bigga, you'd be my 'bigga nigga'.
Nigger is a degrogatory term used to insult our ancestors. See, if a white man used it, you'd be ready to fight. Your using it teaches him to use it. You're saying it's cool. He finds himself dealing with a little bit of attitude from his players, but he's quick to lay down the law and make sure they perform both on the court and in their classrooms. Carter walks into the gym to find his players studying, with the hope that they can pull their grades back up.
American author Marianne Williamson wrote Our Deepest Fear and, to be honest, it's perfectly executed in the film. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Ultimately, Coach Carter failed in his quest in the locout being ended by the school. I played ball here at Richmond High 30 years ago.

In a poignant ending Coach Carter reflects on what the players have achieved and how they have grown as players. I came to coach basketball players, and you became students.
