Happy to help.

It's all Overton Window. "The eye cannot see what the mind does not know."

First Colonial slave owner was black. The '3/5ths of a person' was because slaves wouldn't be able to vote their conscience. It all started with one person.

William Wilberforce
English politician and abolitionist (1759–1833)
William Wilberforce was a British politician, a philanthropist, and a leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade. A native of Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, he began his political career in 1780, and became an independent Member of Parliament for Yorkshire. Wikipedia
Do you think our co-conspirator will find where I said :"self-selected recipient"? What do you think of the idea? I think it's a win-win-win. Everyone would be better off.

Edit:
Maybe we're painting ourselves into an ever-shrinking circle?
