So the famous name studies that found “black” names are 50% less likely to get called for an interview than “white” names just sailed right through your plain of existence without so much as a passing notice.

I am not an expert in Alabama adoption law, but I seriously doubt there’s any way these organizations are not regulated or overseen by the government (unless Alabama has an open market for private adoptions). So regardless of the quantity, it’s state-approved discrimination.

The bar card in my wallet means that, statistically speaking, I’m probably more informed on this subject than you are. But hey man, don’t let reality get in the way of your epic burns in reference to a character who lost cultural relevancy in the 70's.

You should research the legal phrase “reasonable expectation of privacy.” That answers a lot of your confusion here.

Not even remotely close. Unless you give consent, either explicit or implied for a public posting, the other party does not have the right to disseminate the picture/video.

“Also, taking pictures of yourself in compromising situations is sort of like smoking.”

Have you tried writing a musical utilizing an unconventional genre?
