This is ugly and it's going to be ugly for a long time. I watched on tv last night all the protests and it had to be at least 20 cities. People are not happy and this is all because of the bs Trump stirred up. Now he has to face it.

"It’s Over: Donald Trump Wins, We Lose – But We Must Fight"

It saddens me beyond… What. I. We. How, But we know. Deep down, no words, too many words.

I’m numb: Donald John Trump will be the next President of the United States of America. Republicans have won the Senate and the House too.

No jokes, no wittiness, I can’t find it in me to post the cleverest tweets, excuse, me, but, why, we know why, but, I, we, no, it, analysis, words go, they come too fast, I think, I can’t, think, we know exactly why. As a Black man, a first generation American, with a mother who is not a citizen – I am scared, though I believe that there is hope. Let us note that this is what America is, what it has been, and it must be radically rethought and reshaped.

We have received confirmation, we know now, truly, America was never for us, and we must make it for us, for all of us, whatever the cost. America, historically, the deeply rooted strands of inequality, of racism, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny have won today, but we must make sure they do not win tomorrow.

Hillary Clinton was not our savior, never was. Only we can be that. The myth, which we bought, is gone, shattered. We must re-think it all, from the racist, sexist, hateful, despicable bottom up. We must love, fully. This love should not allow oppression, in any form. Organize, organize, organize. To the streets. Good {day} and good luck. […]

D.L Hughley: ‘Obama was what we aspire to be, Trump is who we are’

D.L. Hughley has seen what America has declared itself to be with this election, and he doesn’t like it.

“That campaign was based on hate,” Hughley said during a panel discussion on MSNBC. “America saw exactly who it was last night… Exactly who we are.”

“I think Obama was what we aspire to be; Trump and his supporters are who we are,” he added. “People said things, and those polls were so off and that meant that people were not being truthful. They said one thing and they did another.”

“And that to me is the crux. We have to accept who we are in order to evolve.” – The Grio
