New Tether on the Report: @LE_TERRIBLE and the Skit That Slanders Foundational Black Americans

Patrol Blog · 1 November 2026 · Reading time: about 9 minutes

The Patrol has a new name on the report — and this one is WANTED. Case TP-2026-0001 is open on an Instagram creator who posts as @LE_TERRIBLE — @le__terrible on the app, "Proud African" in his own bio line, Dallas on his profile, about 76,000 followers watching. The charge, filed in full in the case record: slandering Foundational Black Americans. The evidence is his own video, saved to the file. He plays both parts in it himself, so there is nobody else to blame for the script. He is a wanted tether on the loose, and the patrol is calling him in for questioning — on the record. If he won't answer, this case goes to a hearing at Tether Court.

The skit is titled "How African Americans viewed Africans over the years," and it runs in three acts.

Exhibit A: the 2000s

A new student from Cameroon walks into an American classroom, and the Black American student — written, directed and performed by the tether himself — greets him like this:

"Look at this african boy bro haha."

"You's probably raising a zoo with some Monkeys."

"Speak african."

That is the portrayal: a Foundational Black American teenager as an ignorant bully, laughing at an African classmate with zoo and monkey lines. Not a line lifted from somebody else's mouth — a line he wrote, put in a Black American character's mouth, and performed for his audience.

Exhibit B: the 2010s

The middle act softens the mockery into a fumble. The same Black American character tries to place the Cameroonian student's background and lands on "okay okay so you like ebo like Yoruba" — Igbo and Yoruba scrambled together, played for laughs. The joke is still the same joke: the Black American as the ignorant one in the room.

Exhibit C: the 2020s

Then the tone flips. The Black American character announces, "I found out I was part ghanaian from ancestry.com," and the skit closes on the two of them agreeing: "we're all the same… all of our ancestors come from Africa right so we're all Brothers and sisters."

Read the arc for what it is. First the slander: Black Americans as ignorant mockers. Then the claim: Black Americans folded into a one-people story, "brothers and sisters" by punchline. The Patrol rejects both ends of it, on the record.

Why both ends fail

On the first end: a creator does not get to write zoo and monkey lines for a Black American character and call the result a history lesson. Black Americans and African immigrants have a real, complicated record on this soil — schoolyards included — and a skit that reduces Black American students to slur-shouting cartoons is not documenting that record. It is slandering a people for reach.

On the second end: Foundational Black Americans are their own people — a nation formed in America, on this soil, across centuries of a history that happened here. They are not a branch of another continent, not a diaspora chapter waiting to be reclaimed, and not "brothers and sisters" to be assigned by a DNA-test gag in the last ten seconds of a reel. That delineation is the lineage teaching set out by Dr. Claud Anderson, and this patrol stands on it: the people were already here, formed here, and the line holds.

Not a one-off

The file would be thinner if this were a single bad sketch. It is a running bit. The same roast-to-love arc ran on his page twice in two days — "From getting roasted for being African to everybody loving African culture," posted October 30 and again October 31, 2026. "If you grew up African in America, you KNOW" went up twice on October 30. His "most African thing you've heard at home" series hit Part 3 twice on October 29. The premise is the product: Africans mocked in America yesterday, embraced today — with Foundational Black Americans cast as the mockers in every version.

Wanted for questioning

Case TP-2026-0001 now carries a wanted status. @LE_TERRIBLE is a wanted tether on the loose, and the patrol is calling him in for questioning about the skit — on the record, in the open, the same way the charge was filed. These are the questions waiting for him, every one of them drawn from his own video:

1. You wrote the Black American student's lines yourself — "look at this african boy bro haha," "you's probably raising a zoo with some Monkeys," "speak african." Who were you quoting? Name the Black American student you heard say them, or admit you invented them.
2. Your 2010s act scrambles Igbo and Yoruba for laughs. What is the joke supposed to teach your audience about Black Americans?
3. Your closing line — "we're all the same… all of our ancestors come from Africa right so we're all Brothers and sisters" — is a claim about a people's identity. Foundational Black Americans say they are their own people, a nation formed in America. On what authority do you overrule them in a punchline?
4. The same premise runs across your page in duplicate posts. Is the slander a bit, a belief, or a business model?

A tether answers on the record the same way he posted: publicly, where everyone can read it — a public reply to this case, or through the patrol's own reporting channel at /report-a-tether. The patrol prints answers where they exist; that has always been the policy on this beat.

And if he won't answer? Silence is an answer the file knows how to read. A wanted tether who refuses questioning does not make the case go away — he moves it. Case TP-2026-0001 will be called for a hearing at Tether Court, where the record — his video, his lines, his page — speaks in full, with or without him.

The case

Case TP-2026-0001 is open and under review. Filed with it: the complete video, frame stills of the lines quoted above, and the patrol's evidence note. His booking photos, taken from the video itself, ride with this post — the face behind the screen, on the record.

Spot a tether doing the same — slandering the lineage, mining it, hiding behind a screen to do it — and put the patrol on the case: reports are taken at /report-a-tether, and every case is checked against the record before it is filed.

Patrolling the online borders, one tether at a time.
