Black People Love Uno ft. Tiffany Sheri & Kevin Chestnut


Listen Later

Love it or hate it, UNO is a game that commonly brings Black households and communities together. Over time, each family has recreated the standard rules in their own way and dubbed UNO a ‘Black People Card Game’. Returning to the show today to discuss this divisive game are Tiffany Sheri and Kevin Chestnut. Join us as we share our personal introductions to UNO and what rules we used growing up, as well as our favorite cards to throw down and so much more. For our working theories on why UNO is so beloved by Black folk, stories about the worst fights we’ve gotten into as a result of the game, and all of the UNO puns, tune in today!
