Black by Unpopular Opinion

By: Phillip Barnes/Candice Washington
  • Summary

  • Black by Unpopular Opinion is a podcast conceived after many long hours over the years of profound discussions --and sometimes heatedly debating-- between one another topics that concern, enlighten, and affect us on a daily basis. We recognize that voices like ours are needed in today's societal climate: voices concentrated on the singular objective of achieving equality and respect for every single Black and downtrodden individual on this planet, albeit trekking very different roads to said purpose--hence the origin of this platform. ​ ​This, however, doesn't mean that our main objectives in creating BBUOP will always result in dismal conversation. As serious and often somber the conversation surrounding the plight of being Black and oppressed in America, --and around the globe--can be, our platform won’t be without lighthearted and enjoyable moments, mirroring another major part of our, and the entire Black existence as well. To be Black is to also be celebrated, resilient, and optimistic. We delight in friendly banter (and occasional PDA). Also worth noting: a multitude of our discussions are not and will not always be restricted solely to issues of race relations. Sports, entertainment, and literature, among numerous other topics will additionally be memorable components of our podcast. We welcome ALL listeners. There is no audience unattainable and no mind unchangeable, including our own. Make Black by Unpopular Opinion regular companions to your morning commute, `noon chill, and nighttime "wine" down! You down with BBUOP?!

  • MALCOLM WAS RIGHT: THE SEQUEL. HE DONE PENNIED, NICKLED, DIMED, HE DONE COINT THE PHRASE. SO BLACK MAN, OH BLACK MAN, WHERE ART THOU?
    Apr 10 2024

    Who run the world?! GWORLS! WOMEN! ALL MY LAAAADIES RUN THIS MUTHAF-!

    But that don't mean all men recognize that.

    One did.

    May 22, 1962.

    Los Angeles, California.

    He made it CLEAR.

    Ladies and gentlemen, THIS IS THE ORIGIN OF THE LOOSELY TOUTED, RARELY REGARDED, AIMLESSLY ABIDED, HARDLY HONORED PHRASE: "PROTECT BLACK WOMEN".

    In what one could only hope to be an early birthday gift to himself, Malcolm X (born May 19, 1925) delivered his passionate speech: a raw, unfiltered, love-laced and necessary ode to the Black American woman.

    This episode brings a powerful close to our celebration of Women's History Month with a bang.

    • We discuss the disrespect, disregard, distaste, and disgust of and for Black women, feelings that have originated long ago and been perpetuated towards us for NO. DAMN. REASON.
    • We break down why, worst of all, Black men seem to hold such vitriol towards their own women of all racial groups.
    • And of course we explore everything else Black and unpopularly related.

    This will be the season finale of our Women's History series ...

    BUT ...!

    That doesn't mean the party stops just because the club shuts down. We'll continue to celebrate women, especially BLACK WOMEN, EVERY SINGLE MONTH.

    So stay tuned, keep listening, and welcome to a safe space to be Black, millennial, and full of unpopular opinions.

  • Is A Woman’s Worth This Woman’s Work? How Happy Belated Post-International Women's Day Became This Woman’s Point of Contention …
    Mar 31 2024

    Who run the world?! GWORLS! WOMEN! ALL MY LAAAADIES RUN THIS MUTHAF-!

    Happy SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALI-DOSE OF BELATED INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!

    In today's episode, we bring in International Women's Day (recorded right before and during the first couple of hours of March 8, 2024) with Flavor Flav-type hype about how women could and should celebrate this day all March and every single day.

    BUT ...!

    The conversation soon takes an unanticipated pivot into a Soft-Era level heart-to-heart about how CiCi truly feels about being a woman and her sentiments regarding other modern women.

    We engage in an honest, vulnerable discussion full of introspection and candid truths about CiCi's views on femininity and womanhood amidst a day and a month of acknowledging the incredible achievements of women who set ablaze the path before her.

    Ladies and gentlemen, there will be no bulleted breakdown of this episode because we'd like to formally welcome you to:

    Hol' Up! Episode 1.

    Don't trip! We'll introduce what that means and what you can expect each time we do one of these.

    So stay tuned, keep listening, and welcome to a safe space to be Black, millennial, and full of unpopular opinions.
