@jazminznoe: Shoutout to @Tether/Nator2.0 ✊🏾 – The one who inspired this post and first broke down what a “tether” really is. Without his insight, this convo wouldn’t have hit the same. Salute to the real teachers in the trenches. “What is a tether? Someone who can’t stand on their own two feet, so they clip themselves to us and hope nobody notices.” This week, we’re breaking down how people outside of the FBA lineage keep attaching themselves to our work, our culture, and our legacy—while handing the credit and the resources to everybody else. From Hollywood casting to political decisions, from food debates to refugee programs, the same pattern repeats: they need us, but we don’t need them. 🎭 Cynthia Erivo lined up to play Chaka Khan, even after mocking us in the past—Chaka herself had to say no thanks. 🏙 Chicago’s mayor handing $70M in resources to groups outside the community that got him elected. 🍲 Essence Fest turning into “Jollof vs. Jambalaya” under a CEO who doesn’t share our lineage. 🌍 White South African “refugees” fast-tracked into the U.S., while actual Black asylum seekers still wait at the back of the line. And in the small details? The food, the fashion, the swagger. They want to serve egusi where cornbread belongs, raise the price of oxtails that we turned into soul food, and show up in flip-flops while claiming they’re the face of Blackness. That’s not culture—it’s copy and paste. The truth is simple: without us, there is no stage, no story, no rhythm to tether to. We are the host. And the world moves to our frequency. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
