The word has been discussed far more than it should be.
When I read the article, I was sure that my university was on a path toward the trash pile. It does seem to be on the road to political correctness. When I was there in the 1960s it was widely considered as being run by a bunch of pinkos with open demonstrations in favor of the Vietcong defeating the US. Madison even had a socialist as a mayor.
On the other hand, the etymology of "denigrate" does trace back to "niger" according to an amusing, 25-year-old, New York Times piece http://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/28/mag.... There is, however, a distinct lack of evidence for its use in a literal sense in English.
It was the NPR's focus on a story of Jeff Sessions
before congress today as Senator Patrick Leahy recalled during the campaign Trump was recorded saying he grabbed women, he then asked him about whether it was sexual assault for a man to grab a women's genitalia without her permission. Sessions said it was. He should have added that it was not illegal to say it.
