Funny on purpose. Serious about the record.

Why this court exists

The timeline is full of people talking about Foundational Black Americans, and plenty of them are working to undermine them: tethers chasing clout, voices that wave away American lineage, accounts that pick a fight and log off before anyone answers. Arguments like that usually end in a comment-section brawl where nobody wins and nothing gets settled.

Tether Court gives those arguments a proper room. Both sides get the floor. Claims get checked against the record. The jokes keep it entertaining, and the rules keep it a healthy conversation, so people can actually hear each other.

Who gets heard

• People bringing a case: you have seen tether behavior or an attack on FBA and want it heard.
• People answering a case: you have been called out and want to defend yourself on the record.
• Witnesses: you bring history, research or first-hand knowledge that helps the court decide.

The judge

BeeReal presides. She runs the room, asks the questions nobody else will, and delivers the verdict.

Rules of the court

1. Bring receipts. Screenshots, links, clips and sources. Claims without evidence get laughed out of court.
2. No slurs, threats or doxxing. Do not share anyone’s private information. Break this rule and the hearing ends.
3. Let the other side finish. Everybody gets the floor in turn.
4. Argue the point, not the person. Go hard on ideas, actions and public statements. Keep it human.
5. The judge has the final word. Verdicts are BeeReal’s opinion and part of the show.

Tether Court is entertainment and commentary. It is not a real court, verdicts are opinion, not legal rulings, and nothing on the show or this site is legal advice. Guests speak for themselves.
