Apoca-List: Free Game; Love & War, or Merely Prisoners of Greed?

This is episode two of our first topic series. 

This is the apoca-list; the aftermath, our post-restaurant list episode where we discuss things such as entitlement, greed, and all things (un)popular in dating.

In this second installment of our first thematic series, this episode entails:

  • The entitlement of people in dating and previously trending takes on the worth of a partner.
  • The responsibilities of men and women when it comes to prospecting.
  • Biological cues, parameters, and tendencies in the dating pool.
  • The fine lines of promiscuity and expectations.
  • A term we deemed "Prejuducial preference"; what it means and the negativity of its existence.
  • Free game in love and war!
  • And of course, our unpopular opinions on so much more!

About the Podcast

Black by Unpopular Opinion
Streams of consciousness independently flowing through roads of "wokeness" less traveled.
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?!

About your hosts

Phillip Barnes

Profile picture for Phillip Barnes
My name is Phillip Lionel Barnes Junior, and I am a young, ambitious man working every day to connect to God first, and impart the knowledge I have gained over the years to as many people as possible. A man of God, student, son, uncle, brother, and future husband, I am toiling to improve the lives of myself, my family, and the people around me through words, prayer, and actions.

I have a goofier side to me, but I am naturally inquisitive, curious, and sensitive and all of that will be on public display as we divulge our conversations to the world. I have entirely too many thoughts to not share, and I hope that by us sharing what we think, know, believe, and understand, it gives someone out there the insight into two minds that have come from different worlds, but converged on the same goal: Black Empowerment.

Profile picture for Candice Washington
Although a current member of the Health Information Management & Technology realm, I engage in my extra-vocational passions for fitness & nutrition, mental health advocacy, and harness my eternal love for journalism (my former major during my beginnings in college before the surge in blogging and online information access).

A lover of my Christian faith, our 6 puppies, twerking, and general expertise, there is no stone left unturned in my personal arsenal of what makes me, me. Boasting proudly my world-famous (or infamous to some) Gemini birthright, listeners will bear witness to my Candisms, both sporadically and without warning.

My search is incessant for multiple avenues of inspiration, education, and change --even if that ends up being one mind-- even if it's only my own. As the beloved Gemini intellect himself once said, "'I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world."--Tupac Shakur.
