Cultural References
 
Title: Black Men Can Jump

The title plays on the phrase White Men Can't Jump, which is an essentially racist term, often used to denigrate the basketball playing of white males, especially in comparison to that of black males. The claim, possibly somewhat justified in broad fact, is based on the idea that white men typically cannot jump as high as black men, which is a significant disadvantage in basketball play.
