南卡来罗纳州抗议

All is calm outside the southern U.S. South Carolina statehouse Sunday, a day after scuffles broke out when the white supremacy group Ku Klux Klan protesting the removal of the Confederate flag came face-to-face with African-American activists demonstrating nearby.

Police in the state capital, Columbia, made several arrests, but there were no reports of injuries as protesters from both sides taunted and yelled at each other.

Police eventually escorted the outnumbered Ku Klux Klan members from the grounds of the state capitol, as others dispersed.

The Confederate flag, viewed by opponents as a historic symbol of racial hatred toward blacks, was removed from the statehouse grounds in response to last month\'s killings of nine black church-goers in the city of Charleston.

南卡州府哥伦比亚的警方逮捕了几个人。但是没有关于有人受伤的报道。双方互相嘲讽和互喊。

人数远不及对方的三K党成员最后在警察的护送下离开州议会所在地。

南卡查尔斯顿市一著名黑人教堂6月发生枪击案，有9名黑人被打死。 州议会随后通过法案，禁止在州议会外悬挂内战中代表南方一些州的邦联旗帜。

批评者认为邦联旗帜是对黑人种族仇恨的历史象征。
