If a fetus is a person at 6 weeks pregnant, is that when the child support starts? Is that also when you can’t deport the mother because she’s carrying a US citizen? Can I insure a 6 week fetus and collect if I miscarry? Just figuring if we’re going here we should go all in.

Presented Contracting for Reparations at the 9th Slavery: Past, Present and Future Global Meeting in Amsterdam. I proposed a private-sector model—The American Reparations Trust—that frames reparations as a contractual remedy for the economic breach of emancipation.

You know there’s an easy way to avoid being Diddy, R Kelly, Bill Cosby, and any other Black man who gets “set up.” If there’s a video out there of you beating the shit out of a woman and you’re just praying you’re never important enough for someone to care just say that.

Since I’m from Houston, went to Duke, and am currently teaching at UF, a friend has referred to it as The Carliss Chatman Series. Henceforth, I will only pick final 4s based on personal connections. Didn’t do a bracket this year, but I always have to bet on Houston.
