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.

To help the world be rid of hate one step at a time.

I'm an American citizen with liberal values who has had enough of Trump. His response to Charlottesville crosses every line of human decency. Republican leaders need to step up, speak up, and stop the insanity.

Our state should not be represented by a statue of a hero of the Confederacy. We need to stand for the future and reject symbols of rebels who sought to destroy the union and maintain slavery.

With his response to the recent events in Charlottesville, Corey A. Stewart has made clear that he is a Nazi sympathizer. There is no place for this in Prince William County. The population he serves is 55% non-white minorities. His continued presence and 'service' is a daily threat to their well being and safety.

These monuments serve to legitimize the wrongs committed in our past and do not serve any purpose but to remind those oppressed that they are still second class citizens.

The KKK, NEO NAZIS, and White Supremacists Must Be Labeled Terrorist! Please let us all come together and show the world that we are America, and we are not biased in our approach on Terror. The incident this August of 2017 is no different from the incidents in June of 2017 in France, the UK, and elsewhere. The incident of Dylan Roof who is a sworn white supremacist did the unthinkable. Unarmed Americans Praying, eyes closed, kneeling, heads bowed; several gunshots rang out and innocent Americans lay dead in one of Americas most sacred and peaceful places. What will it take for us to see these organizations are hate driven, their decisions to solve their dislikes and problem issues are determined in blood. Innocent Blood. As a UNITED STATES MARINE, I swore to uphold the this nation's Constitution against foreign Terrorists as well as domestic. If I were younger and full of vim, vigor, and vitality, I would certainly actively be on the front lines repelling this nation's threats. Help me help us help ourselves and sign this petition that you agree "White Supremacists, NEO Nazism, and organizations of the KKK and all its affiliates, associations, and constituents shall this day forth be officially labeled violent and deadly Terrorist Organizations.

The people of South Carolina want the Confederate monuments down NOW. Sign the petition then call Gov. McMaster: (803) 734-5167.

Congress should remove the statue of Jefferson Davis that still stands in the rotunda of the United States Capitol.

There is literally no reason whatsoever to have a town in Arkansas named after the founder of the KKK. None. The "heritage, not hate" crowd can take their bigotry somewhere else.

The racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic invasion of Charlottesville demands a greater response than our tears.
