Uno and Black Culture

[Anonymous]

Can someone explain the connection between Uno and Black culture to me? Was it created by a Black person or Black-owned?

I’m Black and my family is insane about Uno. I have ne Er heard of a connection so I’m following.

I'm White and we played it a ton growing up, especially when cousins got together at my grandparents' house. We also played Hearts a lot. Thank you for bringing up good memories!

I didn't know this was considered to be connected especially to Black culture. Looking forward to hearing more.

Never heard of this.

We’re ethnically Indian and UNO has always been the favorite game in our family and with the other Indian families we know. (Along with poker)

It's tied to cookouts and family gatherings during times of joy and sadness. Spades and dominoes are even worse, tables get flipped, people get cursed out or cry.

Omg and if you’re black, saying you don’t know how to play spades...just go home or to your room. You’re officially an outcast.

Please don’t say this—white people will take it as gospel that all black families are like this. We are black and nothing like this has ever happened at any gathering.

I will say that Scrabble got intense in our household growing up and my younger bro did flip the Scrabble board on one occasion. We were religious so no cursing, though.

Oh! We also played Rummikub. Anyone else?

That’s like saying you made pasta who knew it was connected to Italian culture.

Mixed-ish just had a exposure about Spades and it’s place in Black culture.

Blackish also had an episode where the board was flipped.

NP. Really? Uno is a Black game that everyone else likes too?
