三K黨的部分成員星期六在南卡來羅納州集會
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.
星期天，美國南卡來羅納州議會外平靜無事。之前主張白人至上的組織三K黨的部分成員星期六在州議會外集會，抗議南卡取下內戰紀念碑懸掛的邦聯旗幟，他們與在附近示威的非洲裔美國人發生對峙。
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.
南卡州府哥倫比亞的警方逮捕了幾個人。但是沒有關於有人受傷的報道。雙方互相嘲諷和互喊。
Police eventually escorted the outnumbered Ku Klux Klan members from the grounds of the state capitol, as others dispersed.
人數遠不及對方的三K黨成員最後在警察的護送下離開州議會所在地。
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.
南卡查爾斯頓市一著名黑人教堂6月發生槍擊案，有9名黑人被打死。州議會隨後通過法案，禁止在州議會外懸掛內戰中代表南方一些州的邦聯旗幟。批評者認爲邦聯旗幟是對黑人種族仇恨的歷史象徵。
