This petition is to take down the show The Jeffersons for using racial slurs such as honky. This term was used numerous times to describe white people. Along with the lyrics in rap music that further use racial slurs towards white people such as crackers, honky's, cornbread, and wiggers. These terms are offensive. For all the people that supported the confederate flag being taken down should also be signing this petition due to its nature of racism. We ALL need to make a stand and make our voices heard.

The Jefferson's and Sanford and Son should also be taken off your channel. The Dukes of Hazzard never have had any racial slurs, but the above mentioned shows have several. How can a company play only to one race of people, white people have feelings also, and I have always been offended by the The Jefferson's and Sanford and Son. If your company is going to do for one race, you need to do it for all race's.
The use of the word HONKY offends me!! Plus all the rap music talking about women being whores, raping women, killing cops!! I find this offensive and racist!!!
These race issues should go both ways!
If everyone wants to be politically correct then these must go !
offensive!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree
Take down the MLK signs as well I don't want my tax dollars paying for this . I find it offensive that he is worshiped when he was a womanizer .
