What is a Tether?

Prior to its rebranding, by the Nasheedians, a ‘Tether’ definitively, was a cellular link from a military-grade, field phone satellite, that allowed you to call home from in the woods. 

Nowadays, an immigrant ‘Tether’, by the Nasheedian standard is essentially a person who arrives from the Caribbean or Africa in particular and then cosplays as a native or foundational Black American for reasons of political leverage, corporate financial gain, and or even sexual access for themselves into the dominant non-black society. 

Often by aligning themselves, exclusively,  AGAINST any form of growth and development in favor of foundational Black Americans.

In a hip-hop sense, ‘Tether’ rhymes with ‘Competitor’.  

By the numbers a ‘Tether’ = 1 of around 4.5 million Caribbean and or African immigrants that are subversively, in competition with upwards of 45 million FBA’s (foundational Black Americans), for financial leverage and political advantages while living in the United States of America.

Black immigrants by and large, leading with places like Jamaica and Ethiopia for having the most notable food culture as well as the their Olympic champion notoriety, most often arrive as ‘Competitors’ within society not as ‘Tethers’ within society. 

Of the 4.5 million legally residing Black immigrants, most are in favor of growth and development for melanated people throughout the Americas, not just the United States of America and are not ‘Tethers’ at all. 

Many would remind you that ‘Tether’ is also a worthless once was Crypto coin that never gained momentum. 

Others argue that African-American or FBA culture is a 'Tether' from plantation deep south, Caucasian hillbilly overseer culture, after 2 centuries of being forcefully made second class indentured servants at gunpoint.
