South Carolina governor calls for rebel flag's removal from grounds - chairman - 06-22-2015
CHARLESTON/COLUMBIA, S.C., June 22 (Reuters) - South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley on Monday called on lawmakers to take down the Confederate battle flag in the state capital, a week after a white gunman allegedly shot dead nine black worshipers at a historic church.
The flag that has flown at the State House grounds in Columbia for the past half century became a fresh focus of criticism in recent days after the Charleston church massacre, which federal authorities are investigating as a hate crime and an act of terrorism by accused gunman Dylann Roof, 21, who posed with the flag in photos posted online.
"It's time to move the flag from the capital grounds," Haley, a Republican, told a news conference in the state capital, about 100 miles (161 km) from the shooting.
"The flag, while an integral part of our past, does not represent the future of our great state."
Haley called on lawmakers, whose normal legislative year wraps up this week, to address the issue over the summer and said she would order a special session if they did not.

In downtown Charleston, a statue of former politician and defender of slavery John C Calhoun :
was defaced with the word "racist" scrawled underneath.

What we are seeing is the racist underbelly of White Amricans.
I once stated that Whites will never accept Blacks.
AND this same Mapoui took great offence !
