It’s been bought to my attention that “tether” is considered a slur on LSA & is a censored word

[ItWasMeThough]

As it should be! But, honestly it makes sense with some of their subforums and threads. It had to be started and kept alive by non-FBAs cause ain’t no way! Like why is there a long ass pinned thread about Michael Fassbender I was like who is this random cac and then years later, I seen dude in X-Men.

Look at any clip where he’s referring to a black person that’s adversarial with him.. he calls them low IQ

Yeah there are a lot of low IQ black people in the world, he didn’t say all of them.

I think it’s commendable to call stupid people stupid to their face for their own good and for the greater good.

Just another positive leadership trait demonstrated by President Trump.

Very very interesting

Yes indeed.

Diaspora war threads are interesting when they're revealing actual history and toxic when its pretty much anything else

Black Americans fighting to not be generalized, then some of the Tariq stans turn around and generalize all Africans . Point out the hypocrisy or disagree and they call you an African or tether too.


I have no idea why it's so hard for people to say fukk individuals rather than saying fukk whole groups, but its clearly a human issue that will never be resolved



Other than saying fukk anyone who insults or looks down on Black Americans its pretty obvious why these threads were banned for a while here, not sure why they're back

That’s because BGOL became JBO

It was already JBO!

I think brehs always arguing, doxxing people plus the addition of the membership fee hurt the site. I still lurk on there sometimes.

There’s a lot of nonblack members on LSA.

There’s over 500k members. It’s not surprising a lot are not black.

You can’t even use certain words for non-black people on there either. They are censored as well.

However when threads are aimed at black people, those threads are allowed to flourish, lol.

Genuinely , what does tether mean?

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

[richaveli83]

Excuse my ignorance but what is Tether? Is it similar to Akata or whatever that word is?

 

[Lord_nikon]

Genuinely , what does

"tethering" means sharing the internet connection of a device (like a phone) with other devices.
