sic, meaning "said in context" is used in literature to prove that the writer knows his mistake, but is publishing it anyways.
If the quotation you are using contains a grammatical error, you may reproduce that error, but you must write "sic" after it to indicate the error is not yours. You may also want to use "sic" after an offensive word or comment that you are quoting to indicate that you do not share the speaker's attitude.
