A person of a foreign lineage who undermines and/or unjustifiably dislikes, and/or discredits, and/or denigrates and/or seeks to thwart the legitimate aspirations of Foundational Black Americans and whose forbears came to the lands of North America as colonists or some other foreign invader; or a person who came to the United States as an immigrant or whose parents, grandparents etc. came to the US as immigrants who likewise undermines, and/or unjustifiably dislikes, and/or discredits, and/or denigrates and/or seeks to thwart the legitimate aspirations of Foundational Black Americans ; this includes persons of all races and ethnicities, but especially pertains to foreign lineage Negroid people i.e. native Negroid Africans, Negroid Carribeans and Negroid Hispanics etc. This is due to the aforementioned people being of the same race as Foundational Black American people and thus them being a sort of doppelganger in relation to them.
All tethers have forbears who came to the lands of North America as colonists, or they themselves are immigrants or the offspring of immigrants. Additionally, they have a disdain for and/or seek to thwart the legitimate aspirations of Foundational Black Americans in some way.

Get the Tethermug. Insult used by a fringe group of Black Americans who identify as “Foundational Black Americans”. They say it describes black immigrants (namely “melanated immigrants” as they refer to them; with the idea they’re the only “Black” people) that are in the United States to undermine them in order to gain things such as resources and reparations. However it’s mainly used as a disgusting slur to attack Black immigrants (namely Africans and Carribeans). The usage itself is rooted in nativist ideals that mirror MAGA and harbor afrophobia and xenophobia.
