While I think the shooting in South Carolina was atrocious, I don't understand the Push to have the confederate flag removed from the Statehouse. S.C. has already moved it from the original location, but that's not enough for the blacks. Whites keep giving in to every little whim they want and then the potus weighs in on the subject. IT'S A FLAG, IT'S HISTORY. I GUESS THEY WANT TO REWRITE HISTOR SO SLAVERY NEVER HAPPENED. THE FLAG REMINDS ME OF MY RYOOTS [I WAS BORN IN S.C.] SLAVERY DOESN'T ENTER MY MIND WHEN I SEE THE FLAG....

 Nikki Haley, Lindsey Graham Will Call for Removal of Confederate Flag, Sources Say by Elisha Fieldstadt

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Republican senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott plan to call for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the grounds of the state Capitol, sources told NBC News on Monday.

Both South Carolina senators plan to join Haley at a 4 p.m. news conference, sources told NBC News. While Haley was campaigning for re-election last year, she said there was no need to take down the flag.

Meanwhile, political and religious leaders in the state urged lawmakers to vote to remove the flag as early as Tuesday in tribute to the nine people gunned down at a historic black church in Charleston last week. Authorities have said the shooting was a hate crime, and a white supremacist website that may be linked to shooter Dylann Roof shows images that apparently show him holding the flag.
"This act will do something very personal," Charleston Mayor Joe Riley said on Monday.
"Take away Mr. Roof's symbol of misguided idea of racial superiority and bigotry. Take it away from him and all like him and give the front of our state Capitol equally and fairly to every citizen of South Carolina," he said.
