Angry clashes have erupted between members of the Ku Klux Klan and the New Black Panther Party as both groups rally at the South Carolina statehouse.
Confederate flags were stolen and ripped up to cheers and applause from the New Black Panther demonstrators - while KKK members stood on the steps of the capitol performing Nazi salutes.
The white supremacists came out in force on Saturday afternoon to condemn the governor's decision to remove the Confederate Flag due to its associations with racial hatred.
Countering their demonstration, around 400 people with links to the New Black Panther Party marched in the name of racial equality - calling on politicians to do more than simply bring down a flag.
Although leaders insisted they would steer clear of one another, disputes were soon breaking out between off-shoots.

Harry Byrd?
LOL. May they all go to hell together.
And just how many of the geniuses from either side are actually from SC?
That's a problem. As Christians we are allowed to fight back, but where do we draw the line between self-defense and murder? For instance, if I find a way to blow up a mosque with a radical Imam at Friday prayers and kill a bunch of them, am I a terrorist or a soldier for Christ? If I pick off individual male Muslims from ambush is it murder or preemptive self-defense?
That's the problem we face that they do not have to deal with.
The Republican Party USA seems to have experienced a form of dementia in forgetting its anti-racist roots as the Party of Lincoln and gone over to the dark side. How many “Republicans” marched with King or supported the NAACP in the 50’s. Approximately zero. We handed the initiative on human decency to the Democrats.
Yah, I know, what about the dixiecrats. Well, it’s in your face obvious that political parties morph, change and evolve over time and usually away from their founding principles. Black people used to vote 90% for republican candidates up until Teddy Roosevelt. Google it. We handed the Democrats the high ground on the race issue without a whimper of protest.
I’ll never forget my Barry Goldwater YAF (Young Americans for Freedom) fraternity brother, Rick Centner, who in the early 1960’s lectured me on the evils of race miscegination when our frat was the only one to refuse to sign the campus anti-discrimination pledge. Racism somehow later got woven into the fabric of the political force that won our Civil War. And we sit here and carp and moan about liberal control of media, academia and youth culture. Well, there’s no mystery to our loss of the media wars, no “stab in the back”, no trickery or betrayal, we simply f’d up and we’d do well to own it...
Robert not Harry. :)
I wonder the same thing.
