Black Slang For a Black President


This may show my own lack of deeper knowledge of black American culture, but Niall Ferguson's "Obama's Gotta Go" Newsweek article title, which I wrote about here, reminded me of Spike Lee's movie She's Gotta Have It.

I will venture to say that Ferguson took his title from this relatively well-known black cultural reference, which shows that his knowledge of American blacks is shallow and superficial.
