On Saturday (August 12), things took a deadly turn. Following clashes between white nationalists and counter-protesters, 20-year-old James Fields allegedly drove his silver Dodge Challenger into a crowd of counter-protesters, injuring 19 and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. Fields was charged with second-degree murder following the incident, according to The Guardian.
Hip Hop Artists around the world took to social media to condemn the rally and the racist movement it represents. Check out some of the response below.
We have nazi sympathizers and white nationalists in the White House. Condemn them too. They should not be receiving taxpayer money.
