It’s like the litmus tests they instituted before people could vote. It would be a problem that was made specifically to turn Black people away but obscure enough to maintain plausible deniability.

So true and we shouldn't lie to ourselves about this. We both have our roles in society and neither role is better than the other.

I agree too. She acts like someone that still wants attention from men other than Russell. If he was an alpha he would shut that down.

You agree with RCNAL not with what I’m saying.

It will only be true if the non-Black American is not in tune with their culture and has adopted Black American culture. But like a Black American in Philly is not going to have more in common with a Haitian in Philly than they will have with a Black American in Mississippi. I have been all...

We are all we got and all we need.

I can’t co-sign this at all. Maybe superficially but culturally two Black Americans will have more in common than someone of a difficult culture. A Black New Yorker and a Black Californian are not that different when you get passed the regional differences.

My biggest issue is how it was used so loosely in the beginning. When it started getting out of control that’s when the “non-Black coon” definition was reinforced. A lot of people are impressionable so you can’t run around calling immigrants tethers, talking about jollof rice, and then be...

Yes but a year after my ACL Reconstruction I got a bad concussion that I’m still suffering from.

I had the following: Meniscus Repair Parotidectomy ACL Reconstruction

I loooooooove this song.

Exactly. How can we be upset with them calling us Akatas if we are calling them Tethers?

Because that word is a pejorative towards us. It's like when a Mexican person calls us a "mayate" it's calling us the "N-Word" but in their language. Disregarding someone calling us the "N-Word" because it is in another language is not a smart move. At the end of the day tether is a Black...

I know but Yuskii said: That's what I responding to.

I'll name drop when I want Rollie Forbes mjlol Rollie Forbes

Now he is seeing that these people never had his back. He was dancing with the devil and is paying the price.

That's the same thing the Nigerians say when we take issue with Akata. Calling a Black person that is not a coon, that's on code, a tether simply because they are not Black American is offensive. Nothing about the word tether is good. equis is Caribbean and that's a stomp down dude, I wouldn't...

Are you talking about the thread starter blackice_ATL ? He a country bamma ass nigga from Mississippi.

I hate the term "tether" when it is used as a synonym for "Non-Black American". When you call everyone that is not Black American a tether you are basically making your own version of akata. But tether in the since of it being an Black immigrant coon then I feel the same about them as I do Kanye...

Great post and I told someone else this. How is Black on Black crime even a credible statistic if the only race you track infra-racial crime on is Black people. They’ll use the Black on Black crime talking point to deflect from crime by the government against us but what they don’t show is how...
