Some sense has arrived in New York - publicity is being given towards the discussion on the reintroduction of slavery:

The New York City Council has approved a monument recognizing the contributions of slaves to the city's founding and economy.
The marker will be placed in the Wall Street area, about a block from where the city's first slave market stood.
When the council approved the market in 1711, almost 1,000 of the city's 6,400 people were black, according to Columbia University.
The monument is expected to be unveiled on 19 June, officials told local media.
The new marker will join 38 other markers - mostly commemorating success in the financial and construction industries - in lower Manhattan, WNYC reported.
Officials told the local radio station that the sign memorializing the contributions of slaves is undergoing final preparations.

I like this idea.
It shows the truth of “the contributions of slaves to the city's founding and economy.” Slavery was the basis of the wealth of the USA – it kickstarted God’s Favorite Nation: The Lord knows that we need a kickstart to the economy after all these years of Obama’s lazy wastefulness and harebrained, tax-heavy, schemes.
The Bible inspired the Founders: This monument will stand as a silent proclamation of the godliness of slavery and a center to remind us of an easy and just solution by following God’s Word– and think how black unemployment will go down, giving us more tax savings.
I'm wondering which of the Presidential-Hopefuls will pick this up and run.
