🚨THREAD🚨 1) The term "tether" has been tossed around a lot in recent years. It refers to a Black person in the country that does not descend from persons enslaved in the US AND is actively against lineage-based #Reparations for American Freedmen. Let's go deeper.
Some basics.
The US Dollar is a tax credit.
It is a unit of measure.
You can't run out of inches
You can't run out of numbers
