Why is this discussion going on now, in Jersey?

I know, I know but honestly I still am not exactly sure on how I feel about the whole idea of correcting past wrongs but I'm sure this will ruffle alot of feathers.  I love that!  This is probably the best quote to set the tone reading this:

"If slavery was the price that a modern American's ancestors had to pay in order to make one an American, one should get down on one's knees every single day and thank the Lord that such price was paid." -Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll

Really good timing with the elections going on and everything so I'm anxious to see how this plays out.
