  • Bye Buy Black Business

    How supportive are you of Black businesses on the "I Support Black Business?" spectrum? Are you a "go-out-of-my-way-even-if-it-costs-a-grip-and-some-extra-gas?" supporter, a "I buy what I want and need no matter who sellin' it" shopper, or a "Black folks charge too much, so NO" detractor? Learn where you may fall on the spectrum in today's episode, where we talk about the Keith Lee x Atlanta restaurant reviews, the "rules" of one particular restaurant, the overall state of Black businesses, and our opinions on the value and how supportive we personally are and should be towards our people's businesses.

  • Lucille vs. Lana
    In this special VERSUS battle: BBUO Edition, we debate the plight of a melancholic artist shedding pale tears and mayo-flavored madness over the generalized under-appreciation of her genre compared to that of a far different group of talented women. Later, it's the battle of her "blues" versus both the origin of a very infamous baseball bat, and a much less exciting Hot 20th Century Summer.

About Black by Unpopular Opinion

From the publisher's feed

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.
