For those of you that have not seen Nicki Minaj's new music video “Only,” it is very important that you do so. Please see link below:

As you can see, this video is extremely disturbing and inappropriate. Thus, something must be done.

Everyone should have their right to free speech, so we are not petitioning to have this video removed, rather we would like Nicki Minaj and her collaborators (Young Money Productions) to take it upon themselves to make an effort to learn about the Holocaust.

Many people in the United States and around the world have either never heard of the Holocaust or are unaware of what occurred. Young Money’s video production of "Only," trivializes Hitler’s reign and has sent a terrible message to those not familiar with the holocaust; not to mention downplaying the millions of lives that were lost.

Although this is not the first time an artist has used Nazi imagery in a music video, we want to make sure that it is the last. Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, and Drake are some of the most popular artists in the music industry today. Instead of using their fame to downplay the holocaust, these artists should be using their influence to educate their followers on the horrific events and significance of this genocide.

We would like to encourage these artists to take a trip to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC to educate themselves, and thus their fans, on the largest genocide in history; we hope this would lead to a public apology.

Please sign our petition to encourage the rap industry and its fans to familiarize themselves about the history and nature of the holocaust and make sure that this travesty is the last of its kind.
