WASHINGTON nike air max 2017 pas cher homme , June 30 (Xinhua) -- The white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan is to hold a rally next month at South Carolina's capitol in support of the Confederate battle flag.
The rally is planned as the state legislature was debating whether to remove the flag that is seen by many as a strong symbol of racial hatred after a racially motivated attack on a black church, local media said.
According to a local media report, the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan from North Carolina, a local chapter which called itself the largest Klan in the country, will hold the rally on July 18, one month after a white gunman shot down nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina.
The request for rally nike air max 2017 pas cher , already approved by state officials, came on June 23, only one day after South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley announced that she would call on state lawmakers to start debating the removal of the flag.
The Ku Klux Klan, also known as the KKK, is known for its history of violence against African-Americans.
Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old white man, started a shooting spree on June 17 night at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston nike air max 2018 pas cher homme , South Carolina, and after arrest, he reportedly told police that he wanted to start a "race war".
The incident became more racially charged after a racist manifesto purportedly written by Roof and photos depicting him holding the Confederate battle flag surfaced on-line.
A historic but deeply divisive symbol, the Confederate battle flag belonged to the pro-slavery side in the Civil War. Some hailed it as a symbol of Southern heritage while others regarded it as a potent symbol of slavery and white supremacy.
Roof's association with the flag soon reignited debates on the removal of the flag from the grounds of the South Carolina State House.

ROME, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Italy was the worst country in the European Union when it came to applying mandatory European Union laws, the European Commission said this week, further solidifying the country's reputation as a country of rule breakers and one of Europe's less reliable partners, according to analysts.
According to the Oct. 1 report from the Commission air max 2018 pas cher , there were 472 complaints against Italy for failing to apply European law -- more than any other EU country, ahead of Spain (with 439 complaints) and Germany (with 297 complaints).
At the end of the year, a total of 104 cases were unresolved for Italy, again ahead of Spain (with 91 outstanding cases) and Greece (with 79). Latvia, the least problematic country in the EU, had just 20 outstanding cases at the end of last year.
It is not the first time Italy topped the European Commission's list of EU rule breakers. Commentators say the trend only reinforces the view of Italy as a country with a "flexible" view of rules and laws.
"Italy's reputation is in part formed by the image as a population that doesn't pay taxes, doesn't obey traffic laws www.airmax-2018.fr , and so on," Antonio Biondi, an Italy-born pop culture commentator working in London, told Xinhua. "Something like this shows that kind of behavior goes to the highest levels of government."
"Why do Italians disregard so many rules?" asked Roger Abravabel, an author and social commentator. "They do it because they can. There are few consequences for disregarding many rules."
Abravabel authored a book called Regole, Italian for "Rules," which explores the topic of the rule of law in Italy. In the book nike air max pas cher homme , he wrote that much of the problem comes from a slow and inefficient criminal justice system, which results in a disconnection between the act and any sanctions.
"The laws are ineffective and so the response in Italy is to make more laws," Abravabel said in an interview. "The result is a big mess nobody can figure out."
There are other factors linked with with the trend involving European Commission complaints against Italy. Some in the Italian media blamed government instability and inefficiency for the problems.
According to Monica Rubini, a University of Bologna expert in social psychology, another factor may be an anti-European sentiment in Italy.Abravabel, the author
"Italians have always felt less 'European' than the residents in many countries," Rubini told Xinhua. "I think they are less than thrilled to have rules dictated to them from Brussels."
nike air max pas cher , said the mindset in Italy is working against it. "In other countries, if there is a bad law they still follow it and over time it's improved," he said. "In Italy, they just make more and more laws. You must have the right rules and then they have to be obeyed. Often, Italy fails on both counts."
