The Charlottesville rally has, finally, been condemned by President Trump after much criticism following his weak statement following the march and eventual violence and murder of Heather Heyer on the streets of Virginia.

Though Trump was only able to denounce the violence as 'racist' yesterday, people in the USA and across the world recognised the KKK populated and Nazi-style rally as such since Friday.

What has been much noted is how the tikki-torch bearing collection of largely white men went about their rally and even violent attacks on counter-protestors with nothing covering their face.

Many people saw this as a sign of arrogance - as well as white privilege - since they assumed their jobs were guaranteed, no matter their racist antics on the weekend.

However, some are attempting to name and shame the white supremacists involved in the rallies, putting pressure on their work places and schools to take action or become accountable for their behaviour.

So far, the Twitter group 'Yes, You're Racist' have exposed multiple white supremacists from the march, as well as confirming at least one man has been sacked from his job.

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the people who has attempted to out some of the people who went on the march; especially those holding Nazi flags and carrying out the Nazi salute.

The 27 year-old actress she said in a Facebook post, 'These are the faces of hate. Look closely and post anyone you find. You can't hide with the internet you pathetic cowards!'

The post has been reacted to over 108k times, with 5k comments and almost 8k shares so far.

As you can imagine the response is mixed, with many people citing the right to freedom of speech and peaceful protest as the reason they do no think these people should be publicly shamed.

However, others state that not only was their protest public, and therefore free to share, but that the proliferation of Nazi and KKK ideals, both in actions, regalia and ideology, is the promotion of very violent hate groups who systematically murdered people due to their race (and other things) and believe in white supremacy (i.e. not equality like the Black Lives Matter movement).
