If you were a slave owner, how would you prefer your slaves showing respect to you?

I'd start off by making them crucify one of their own, followed by smacking their heads against hard things to rid them of dangerous brain cells that will allow them to think outside the box. After that, they would paint millions of pictures of me looking damn fine, and then they would make a collaborative biography of me listing awesome things I didn't say but I will claim that I did.
