There is no room for hate in our country. And while freedom of speech is important, there is no reason that GoDaddy, the world's top hosting site, should be promoting white power nationalists whose platform is based on religious and ethnic intolerance.

Muslim women are being harassed, laughed at, put down, and in some cases denied the right to wear the hijab. Make a special day to celebrate the religious freedom we all have and stop the hate and fear.

Having met with negative results on numerous attempts to have this bust removed, we the undersigned are again requesting. It is today as it has always been offensive, oppressive and a constant reminder to Pueblo people of color and Natives of the genocide it represents.

At this point in time, these Confederate statues in our city of Richmond and in the state of Virginia as a whole, are only serving as locations for violent fringe groups (KKK, Neo-Nazi groups, Confederate groups, White Supremacist groups) to gather and express their hate for unity and inclusion among our citizens. Their rallies are meant to terrorize our communities and divide us in our efforts to establish equality for every citizen, and more importantly, provide safe communities for every citizen to dwell. We did not need statues to educate about the Holocaust, nor do we need statues to educate about the Civil War - this war was about perpetuating the institution of slavery for economic gain in the southern states - it was about violating the most basic human rights of Africans in viewing them as property. A timeline of the genesis of the Confederate sites shows two notable spikes. One comes around the turn of the 20th century, just after Plessy v. Ferguson, and just as many Southern states were establishing repressive race laws; lynchings and the KKK terrorism were peaking. The second runs from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s—the peak of the civil-rights movement. In other words, the erection of Confederate monuments has been a way to perform cultural resistance to black equality. The time is long overdue that we address the problem of these domestic terrorist groups that have been in this country for decade upon decade. One of the easiest things to do is to take away their places of congregating - these Confederate statues. Remove these statues and either put them in museums, auction them off and use the funds for our city, or destroy them. Do not give these domestic terrorist groups any more locations to assemble and terrorize our communities.

I live in Lee County Florida and we have a statue of Robt. E Lee in downtown Fort Myers and a portrait of him in full uniform in the commissioners office. The people in power are oblivious to the pain this causes and at this point seem to have no intention of doing anything about it

This country is lousy with monuments to traitors and slavers who engaged in open warfare against the United States of America and in defense of the hideous institution of slavery. We should remove them all, every last one of them, forthwith. I think it would be great to replace them with monuments to actual sheroes, both real and imaginary, in the fight against injustice.

As part Cherokee it makes me sick that the racist connotations of the Sooner brand isn't recognized. The stealing of the land that the Cherokee we're already forced on is wrong and in now way should it be honored by the name Sooners.

Minorities across the nation are being targeted by extremist terrorists called Neo-Nazis, White Nationalist, White Supremist, KKK, etc. These groups use the symbols from the Confederacy to promote supremacy, hate, and violence towards fellow Americans. These monuments must not be allowed to stand in public view.

I propose that funding be allocated to erect statues in honor of Civil Rights icons and Native American heroes in proximity to Confederate icons, and in the capitol, and all urban centers. The awareness of how this country has prospered because of Slavery and the genocide of Native Americans is paramount. Marginalized peoples need to have the opportunity to honor their heroes and counteract the wave of emboldened aggression by Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists in this country.

This petition is about ending the hate being directed at minority group members of all kinds by neo-Nazis and white supremacists. If even a few White House staffers resign in protest, it will make real news and inspire others to do the same.

Wade Hampton III was one of South Carolina's largest slaveholders of his time, a traitor to the USA who served as a lieutenant general for the confederacy, and a staunch supporter of the Red Shirts (a 19th Century paramilitary group that used violence and terrorism as a part of the South Carolina Jim Crow culture of the day). Continuing to honor this post-Civil War white supremacist is racist and cannot be tolerated. Some suggestions for action might be to change the name of Wade Hampton High School to Reverend Joseph Armstrong DeLaine High School and to change the name of Wade Hampton Boulevard to Robert Smalls Boulevard.

Our city has a proud history that includes contributions from diverse populations. We no longer need to idolize those who fought to maintain a brutal and despicable injustice.
