Plays up to 6 people Includes 81 question cards 24 response cards Safe for family play (Yes, you can play with grandma!) Comes in white box. About Black Card Revoked Black Card Revoked was first released in July 2015 and quickly become the leading American black culture trivia game in the United States and celebrated by the Los Angeles Times, O Magazine, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, BET, and Essence Magazine among other press outlets.
What started out as a card game has become a hot topic on Black Twitter. The topic in question? Potentially having your Black card revoked for doing things, watching things, saying things or participating in things that jokingly warrant your acceptance into the culture to be up for debate.
“Don’t revoke my black card” began trending on Black Twitter on Thursday, and simply typing in those five words into the search bar will send you on a humor-filled ride as folks are shamelessly unleashing confessions that might cause a side eye or three.
The trending topic is a play on the actual card game, Black Card Revoked. The game is described as “revitalized trivia” for African Americans. “It is a fun, nostalgia-filled card game that tests knowledge of cultural milestones and know-how within American Black popular culture. Spanning history, daily life, and entertainment, this questions-based game will spark debate by challenging participant’s understanding of influential moments, facts and figures,” according to the game’s description on Target’s website.
The game later transitioned into America’s first Black culture trivia television game show in 2018.
Nonetheless, folks have come forward revealing anything from they’ve never seen an episode of “Martin” to they have never eaten collard greens. Oh, and someone spelled chitlins’ as chitterlings. And while that might be the proper dictionary spelling, that clearly isn’t how Black folks spell or pronounce the Southern dish, made from the small intestines of a pig.
One Twitter user said, “Don’t revoke my Black Card but I can’t play spades.”

Another listed all of the Southern dishes that she skips over during the holiday season. “Don’t revoke my black card but I hate collard greens, black eye peas, baked beans and yams… I basically don’t eat during the holidays,” she wrote.

A third user expressed how displeased he is with a plethora of meats that some would consider Southern staples. He also revealed that he used to get in trouble for refusing to eat them. “Don’t revoke my black card but I hate neck bones, pig feet, fat back (I used to get my a** beat for not eating it, baked turkey wings cause the skin be all soft and saggy. and I don’t like pork ribs cause of the fat, I normally just spit it out once I taste the fat,” he said.

While the topic is clearly playful, it further supports the notion that Black folks are not a monolith.

Pfft--I don't like spades.
Can't play dominoes.
Never seen Power.
Hated Baby Boy.
Won't watch any Love and Hip-Hop or Housewives slap each other around. Black card was shredded by the Delegation in 1993.
Happy Tuesday! In celebration of Black History Month, I’m learning more about black history but I also wanted to express how dope, diverse, and cultural we are as a race. As proud and black as I am, there are also a few things that would get my “black card” revoked (Ex: I don’t know how to play spades *shrugs* & I never owned a pair of Jordans in my life).
For the lost ones , your “black card” is a “fictional”card black people feel that EVERY black person should know how to do, did, etc.
Do you get the point? Ok, good!
Your Black Card Should Be Revoked If..
Disclaimer: This list is meant to be humorous and a way of showing how lit it is to be black.
You haven’t seen the movie, The Color Purple.
The Color Purple is a 1982 epistolary novel by American author Alice Walker which won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction. It was later adapted into a film and musical of the same name.
You never seen Crooklyn
Crooklyn is one of my all time favorite movies in the world. The classic film was focused on a black family from Brooklyn in the summer of 1973. Also, the film was directed by Spike Lee. (Shout out to Lee for getting his first Ocsar nomination! Long overdue and well deserving! )
Your grandma doesn’t have a pic of Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr, or a Black Jesus in her house.
Black Card Revoked Walmart
In her house, my grandma has a pic of Martin Luther King Jr. in her photo collection like he is part of our family. Every black grandmother I know has a pic of at least one of the three historical men.
You don’t have that uncle with the sandals that cooks at every cookout.
Yall know that uncle who probably drinks and talks noise all day with the Moses Sandals! Just know the barbeque is about to be grilled to perfection if Unc is on the grill!
You don’t eat potato salad
It doesn’t matter if you’re a picky eater or not. If your grandma or mama makes good potato salad, you eat it. PERIODT.
You refer to Kool-aid as flavors.
If you’re black, there is no such thing as flavors! It’s COLORS all the way baby. “I want some RED kool-aid.”
You don’t eat Mac-N-Cheese.
I understand the ones that are lactose or can’t eat dairy. But if you’re black and don’t eat Mac-N-Cheese, who raised you? Where did you come from?!! How can you not eat this greatness? I will never understand it. And let’s end the argument here: MAC-N-CHEESE IS A SIDE DISH!
If you put sugar in your grits and red beans.
*side eye* . I rest my case lol.
If you can’t play spades.
This one alone can get my black card revoked because I can’t play! But best believe, a game of spades is going to be played for black family reunions, holidays, and parties. Warning: in black families, the game gets competitive and intense lol.
If you don’t know The National Black Anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing
If you’re black, you better know at least the chorus or the melody! Here, I’ll help you out…
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
let our rejoicing rise,
high as the list’ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea
sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught us,
sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.
If you think OJ Simpson didn’t do it…
You don’t know any Luther Vandross Songs
Somebody in your family loves me sum Luther, so I’m pretty sure you have heard at least one song by the legend!
