Petition for Action from Nicki Minaj and Collaborators in Response to Controversial Music Video "Only"
Final supporters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU769XX_dIQ
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.

Someone who is so influential and the center of the public eye really shouldn't be making such an antisemitic video. I mean comparing yourself to Hitler, a man with the sole agenda of religious genocide is nauseating
nikki manaj should do some research on the Holocaust as well as well as African American heritage and slavery! I think this video is disgusting, & I don't care much for her as well! these artists don't care about the people that are buying their albums all they care about is the dollar they put in their pockets!
I would like for Nicki Minaj and collaborators on this video to visit the Holocaust Museum in DC and learn some history. Hopefully it is only ignorance that produced this awful video.
NEVER AGAIN means not letting future generations het a watered down an desensitized version of history that eould allow for such ideologies to flourish again.
25 million dead, shattered lives and blighted decades are hardly 'just'. This video trivializes the horror of unbridled racism among those most likely to become its victims! How horribly ironic!
And Drake dress as the Pope talking about humping Nicki Minaj? Seriously? Is it Ok to insult Christianism now?
Nazi imagery is not to be used as a rallying point for any idea.

Never buying a young money song again ever. This is personally offensive to me because I had family die in the holocaust. Nazi's are not something to be portrayed at all in a music video that rap fans listen to.
