AN IMMODEST PROPOSAL

I propose we have a yearly national holiday to celebrate the enormous contribution that slaves made to building this country and its economy, and that on that day every movie theater be required to show TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE throughout the day and that every citizen be required to produce proof that they watched the film from start to finish.

Every year, at least until either racism is truly eradicated or reparations have been made to all descendants of slaves and all history texts and courses be corrected to show the true facts of slavery in all its facets and the impact it had on the creation of "America" and its economy, and any reference defending the "honor" of those who fought to preserve slavery or to their cause as "noble" be erased from history forever.
