South Carolina governor Nikki Haley on Monday called for a Confederate battle flag that has flown on the statehouse grounds for more than 50 years to be removed, in an abrupt about-face as local protesters and national advocates brought intense pressure to bear on the state to make a concrete gesture of healing after the killing of nine African Americans last week inside a Charleston church.

“We are here in a moment of unity in our state, without ill will, to say it’s time to remove the flag from the capitol grounds,” Haley said, speaking in front of dozens of current and former South Carolina officials. “One hundred and fifty years after the end of the civil war, the time has come.”

The call was met with applause and cheering by the audience, which had listened in silence as Haley described a vision of the state sharply at odds with images broadcast around the world over the last week of tearful mourners and an empty-eyed suspect in chains.

Suddenly a symbol that the Republican governor herself, only days earlier, had said was beyond her power to move seemed to be on the verge of removal by a broad bipartisan consensus that took shape with surprising speed.

Haley, who is Indian-American, made reference to her own race and to that of Tim Scott, the African American junior senator from the state who stood next to her, to say South Carolina had shown its progressiveness. In a separate statement issued later, Scott echoed the governor’s call.

“I do not believe the vast majority of folks who support the flag have hate in their hearts,” Scott said. “Their heritage is a part of our state’s history, and we should not ignore that. However, for so many others in our state, the flag represents pain and oppression.

“Because of that, as a life-long South Carolinian, as someone who loves this state and will never call anywhere else home, I believe it is time for the flag to come down.”

Are you a racist?

You ask a lot of questions.

It's now viewed as like a Nazi Swastica by people of African descent.

There will always be some people offended by something and for sure some people especially blacks won't like the confederate flag but this is part ignorance and part racists wrapping themselves in it. The non racist south and indeed the rest of the country should reclaim it for all rather than seeking to ban it. There really wasn't much between north and south on the issue during the early stages of the war and it became more an issue because of politics rather than race.

Some parallels with the England flag

Back to OP.

Led Zeppelin were a great band, saw them live twice, Birmingham Town Hall in 1969, and Bath Festival in 1970.
Their first album was mind blowing . Nothing had been heard like it before. It just blew me away !
