Thanks for the explanation sounds interesting, I'll look for it on Netflix. In that context I grasp the sardonic jest and suspect that image would flop as a PSA as well.

That said I'll decline to engage the topic of slavery as emotionally-charged and generally irrelevant to a discussion of the legality and implications of secession.
