For the second time in the last five elections, the popular vote has not matched up with the electoral college, and the candidate that most American voters want to see in the Oval Office will not be President.
Despite Donald Trump‘s victory, the New York Times reports that Clinton trumped the Republican by more than 200,000 votes in the popular vote.
It’s a confusing system, no doubt, one that doesn’t even have the endorsement of the man who has just benefitted from it more than anyone since 2000 when George W. Bush beat out Al Gore in the electoral college.
Given Trump’s history of rhetoric deemed racist, xenophobic and sexist — coupled with the fact that a majority of voters do not want him as President — the protests that have followed Election Day are something of an inevitability.
Thousands of Americans, including Meek Mill and T.I. marched and picketed from coast-to-coast against Donald Trump’s upcoming presidency, and the footage has gone viral across social media platforms.
In Chicago, many gathered outside the President-elect’s Trump Tower, chanting “Fuck Donald Trump.”
Streets in Richmond, Virginia were also shut down by huge numbers of people protesting their new President.
Other protest footage has also emerged on social media from marches in New York, Philly and Oakland. Rapper Meek Mill joined the crowd’s in Philly and helped get them geared up, leading a call of response of “Fuck who? Fuck Trump.”
It seemed as though the most intense situations developed in Oakland, California where crowds lit fireworks in response to police declaring the protest unlawful assembly and used tear gas.
T.I. also documented his experience of last night on Instagram, where he joined the protest outside of Trump Tower:
ABC News has reported that incidents of vandalism and injury were reported across the country, with a total of 124 arrests being made over the protests.
No shit! Great reporting. Problem is, the US is a REPUBLIC, not technically a democracy. Which is kind of funny because the Republicans won. LOL
All those clowns don’t know what they are actually participating in..hence the debauchery…dont whine when the system that is broken doesn’t work in your favor.
Bunch of little children protesting,grow up
what if Trump was black,,,??
of course bl ack ppl would be on his dick look who their endorsing from 2020..kanye pretty much the black trump lol been hypocritical..gays and blacks want to be tolerated as long as you share their opinion
Likewise, whites love to act as if it’s a free country as long as you share their opinion. They’re free to protest peacefully, or aren’t they?
Bunch of overgrown 5 year olds throwing tantrum.
Trump is President niggaz better get some ActRight up in here from now on or its bye bye to Africa
Thanks to Obama and Hillary for causing this chaos this is why I’m glad we have a president that will get us out of this debt and bring back America the way it should be
Serious Q: How? Please, for the love of God, provide a list of how he plans to do this. Bet you don’t have a CLUE what you’re talking about.
Suck a dick with aids on the tip bitch
We’re gonna run the whole election #2020
I’m not an american. Can someone explain why you dont need more votes to win the election?? And why are you Vote in the first place when its not relevant??
it is relevant.. people just don’t understand how an election works. They think it’s equivalent to “raise your hand if you want Sprite”
Search “Electoral College”. You’ll know.
Trump doesn’t care about political correctness and easy offended pussies. That’s what the world needs, not some fake socialists. You can’t win elections if you only address minority’s and other lazy people.
No point in a Popular vote when the Electoral vote determines the outcome. So f**king pointless. So again, OUR VOTES DO NOT MATTER!
Wow. You are a retard. The votes in MAJOR CITIES have to be offset somehow. If not you could win 5-6 cities and take the whole election, dumbass. People from rural areas also have a say. Imagine if all of the clowns in NYC and LA made all of the decisions? Please. We would be New Africa tomorrow. New Liberal Africa. Straight marriages would be illegal. No one including cops and the military would have guns, and there would be abortion slurpees sold at 7-11. Fucktard.
You’ve def got a point. Explain further though so these kids get a better understanding instead of name-calling.
Hey fucktard… You must be a uneducated trump supporter because your math is horrible… There are more people in rural areas combined than those 5-6 major cities…
T.I. And the racist, race baiting OnlySpecificBlackLivesMatter BS helped get Trump elected in the first place. Are convicted felons even allowed to vote? LOL. They shouldn’t be. This midget motherfucker should be hiding from the public. Him and “Killer Mike.” This self segregating horseshit is what got Trump elected in the first place. Typical “black America”, protesting the results of a fair election. Ridiculous…
These people protesting don’t even understand how the election process works. The same process that nobody had a problem with when we voted in the 1st black president, the same process we’ve been using forever, The same process that ensures a scab like Clinton who won less states, but won the most populated ones, can’t benefit from ignorance. Look at the map, the majority of the country was painted red…she lost MI and WI becuz she took their vote for granted and didn’t even campaign there, and Trump flipped them. She lost a fair one, and the ones calling everybody else deplorables are burning shit in the street. The same people who acted like their best friend piped their mother when Trump said he wasn’t sure he would contest the election, are actually protesting the election of a president. They’re using their “rights” to impose on everybody elses right to vote who they feel is best. You can’t make this shit up…party’s over, y’all got til January to get in all your riots and protests
Donald Trump gonna be a great dictator. Lazy niggas are already shook. Now that’s what I call respek.
I see some of you, presumably white, on here don’t understand. Can you imagine if Obama said just 1% of some of the shit Trump has? He wouldn’t have made it anywhere close to the White House, and probably would’ve been shot. Rural Whites voted for Trump as a direct result of the racial tension and social change that makes them believe they’re losing…something. This is a guy who took way too long to disavow endorsement from David Duke, encouraged white supremacists at his rallys, disrespected pretty much every ethnic group imaginable, slandered women and people with disabilities and somehow, some white folks don’t understand the outrage? It would literally be impossible for anyone to win an election campaign ran like that at any other point in this Country’s history…and the fact that he did speaks directly to racist white zealots who agree with his xenophobic, bigoted ideals. I assume most of these protesters understand the electoral college process, it still doesn’t lessen the sting that this really happened…
Wow. Presumably white. LOL. You are probably a BLM supporter, right? When a cop shoots an innocent BLACK man, regardless of the cops race, or what the black man was doing, that’s racism. LoL. You idiot. Your type of wining self segregating victimization bullshit is what got us in this mess. Black America has it better than 99% of te rest of the world. Still bitching. Punk. Presumably black.
No, the racism comes when cops shoot ANYBODY and they aren’t convicted. The problem is, disproportionately, when blacks are killed the offending officer often times isn’t even indicted. But you probably have no experience with that. I’ve been profiled and stared down the barrel of a shotgun, among multiple other firearms, because I “fit the description.” If you never had that experience, you’re unqualified for that conversation, and should probably shut the fuck up, for a lack of better terminology. Punk.
I actually have had the police pull me over and point guns at me. Idiot. For matching the description. Like you, I wasn’t shot. And the shootings AREN’T disproportionate. 15% of America (African Americans) are convicted of 60% of the crimes. Whites and Latinos make up 70% of people shot by the police. You will probably start with that 400+ years of slavery bullshit, right? What about the Native Americans? Slaves lived to have freedoms now. They where MURDERED and had their land taken from them. Period. Do REDLIVESMATTER? What are the statistics historically of their run ins with the police, military etc? LOL idiot. I’m black, I’m a victim. People here illegally who don’t have SSN and a legal right to vote or work get treated worse than I do and complain less. I’m sure you, like myself, wear baggy hip-hop clothing and dress like a G. Expect to be treated accordingly. Man up. Bitch. Nice spelling on Swayz BTW. Probably can’t spell G.E.D. LOL. You got Trump elected. Be proud. Now when drones are flying around your “hood” thanks yourself and T.I. the armed felon with a political opinion… dummy.
White racist undertones permeating through your words, and right on cue, you go to my perceived intelligence. Its obvious you don’t have any idea or experience with anything you’re talking about. You can miss me with the tough guy shit, and all the stereotype talk you keep going to and answer the question. Could anyone else at any other time in history win an election saying the things Trump said? That’s a simple question we all know the answer to. So that being the case, the next question is how, in 2016, was it acceptable to disrespect and disregard numerous groups of people and still win? His fucking politics aren’t even clear to the people who support him, so it can’t be that. We both know why, at least I respect he can own his racism though…
” . . and probably would’ve been shot. Rural Whites voted for Trump as a direct result of the racial tension and social change that makes them believe they’re losing.” < < < < < This right here! This is what is called an "ASSUMPTION", not a FACT. Black people and their ridiculous thought process.. You've already convinced yourself about something that NEVER took place. Just another talking head who believes that white people are the root of all evil, Smmfh? Log off and stop complaining. 90% of the US is still trying to wrap their head around how that imbecile was elected, but to assume some dumb sh*t like is ridiculous. I am white and find your comment just as racist as the white people that you're pointing thee finger at. And for the record, I also voted for Hillary. The way lesser evil of the two candidates.
So it’s against the law to disprove of the rhetoric this idiot has spewed for decades? White people kill me with your false pretenses, you know full well he only got away with this because bigotry and intolerance are rising among the undesirables of your community. That’s what people are upset about, and rightfully so. Like I said, no other candidate would win with that platform at any other point in this Country’s history. And it only worked because of the increasing notion among older, white, rural people that they’re losing something to a changing society. That’s a fact, whether you like it or not…
no you have a culture problem your culture accepts and promotes violence and think your a victim because thats what the left and the media tell you and every 4 years you go out and vote for them and they do nothing for you
I think it is HILLARIOUS that people are calling Trump a racist. BLM. The cops are killing us. Not since the first president has something like this blah blah blah. First of all, THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON RACISM. Ask any Native American if their lives matter. How did the Marshalls, sherrifs and U.S. Army treat them? They had it way worse than 400+ years of slavery. Are you “riding” for them? Fucktards. Yes, trump is a racist, just like the rest of America is, T.I. is with this Us or else. Who is US? One race? Convicted felons? LOL. Black Lives Matter? What about all of te people dying in Kenya and Uganda, the answer to that is, “we need to clean up our own backyard first.” Oh, so we all need to rally for REDLIVESMATTER, or should we address the fact that 60% of the prison system is occupied by 15% of the population. Or the fact that a black person is 50X more likely to spend more than half of his life in prison and die there, then he is likely to die by a cop shooting him. Or maybe the fact that the third leading cause of young black men dying is being shot by other young. Lack men. America “belongs” to people who where systematically murdered, enslaved and pushed off on to reservations. They aren’t allowed alcohol on their own land. Anyone riding for them? Do you see them destroying public property and acting like idiots. Let’s rally behind the convicted felon that was caught with SILENCERS and illegal automatic weapons who doesn’t like the police coincidentally. LOL. Are convicted felons even allowed to vote? They shouldn’t be IMO. I’m sure those SILENCERS weren’t intended to be used on BLACK people, right T.I.? LOL. Self denfence and hunting…
Funny how no BLM motherfuckers on here had shit to say about your post…
I’m personally disappointed in the election but I am happy to see the Republicans get to run without the Dem interfering. Not because I disagree with the Dems, but because I want the country to see how bad it will get under Republican control. I also always wondered why the discussions on this site were always so out of left field when it came to hiphop. Now I see why…. So many sheltered suburbans are on this site. It explains a lot…
Trump supporter/ hiphop fan? Yeah that doesn’t make sense…. So true.
“I am happy to see the Republicans get to run without the Dem interfering. Not because I disagree with the Dems, but because I want the country to see how bad it will get under Republican control.”
That’s privilege talking right there.
Imagine a white rock band singing “my president is white”.. there would be a shitstorm and media outcry.. but when Young Jeezy was rapping about Obama being black it was kosher.
Man I hope you just be trolling because you post some of the dumbess shit on here bro..
Why does my comment have to be trolling? Are you trying to say there is no double standard? How come if a black man says he’s proud to be black it’s kosher but if a white man says he’s proud to be white he’s called a racist?
Because there isn’t the same history of black people oppressing whites in this country, for starters. Furthermore, when you’re the majority and command every significant industry, infrastructure & governing body, while simultaneously controlling all media, financial and authoritative positions that matter, I wouldn’t assume your people give much thought or care about proclaiming your whiteness. It’s pretty evident…
So you telling me that country singers don’t say shit like I’m a real redneck etc.. A song called my president is black speaks on a milestone accomplished. Hell every other president was white so that’s the norm what’s to celebrate? Maybe instead of looking for double standards we as people should be looking for solutions
what is wrong if a man in his country wants other people to stay in their country to make their country great? when did encouraging people to find peace in other peoples country? i tell you all that if you stay in your country no matter what you’re he realest of all among those who left their father land and think they will be all welcome in other mans land when even where you’re coming from some of your family members don’t like you. my advice to all you unbelievers and greener pasture searchers stay in your country and protest against your government and give your kids a better land in your father land n not another mans land. let your kids know their linage please stop these twist please.
This isn’t even a land I’m sure you’re from bruh, unless you’re Indian…#LetsBeHonest
am mot an American and if i’m an immigrant and i man wants me to leave his country i tell you son i will go to my father and ask him to forgive me n that am ready to stay n keep his name which is also my in this fatherland. just stay in your homeland that’s all or is it too much to ask for?
….Everyone who lives here now initially came from somewhere else…..Trump’s father or grandfather left their “fatherland” most likely because some bullshit was happening over there which is the reason why the majority of us are here now aside from slavery….the only original people of the US were Native Americans….
Because Hillary was going to fix all of these problems… ok.. I find it hilarious that all of the democrats were all up in arms when Trump wouldn’t accept it if he lost, but now when Hillary loses by a landslide none of there supporters will accept it. Live with it and give him a chance. “Not my President” yes he is..
A couple of communists, joining in protest alongside a bunch of useful idiots and other communists.
no the other way round, its church niggas, dont get it confused, communists dont pray
T.I. And Meek Mill ond hand to further embarrass Black America and America in general…
Yup. I signed the Change.org petition to overturn the electoral vote on December 19. Hillary can still be president. If you don’t want Trump, now is your last chance to be heard. Keep the energy going!!
a true tard are you upset with the rules go to mexico
You people are dumb. He won more swing states. Who ever gets the most votes in a state wins the electoral votes in that state. The popular vote determines whether the state is red or blue. The electoral college is based off of the popular vote. Trump flipped more swing states with the popular vote giving him more electoral votes. Clinton received more votes because of Cali.
You don’t understand the system. There is a clear and controversial distinction to be made between the popular vote and the electoral college.
I just explained it to you.
you tards its all about the electoral college who hills was supposed to landslide more people vote democrat in california it has an enormous population but it doesn’t speak for the majority of districts in the states
damn, you americans are something else…you got all these people marching and rioting and bet 70% of them didnt vote!!
just read some history bout MLK + Malcom X and see that all this has happend b4… the church niggas simply cant loose thats the main problem. BLM isnt about blacks, it is about using blacks to keep church niggas in power, same ppl btw who made them and everybody else slaves untill today
F**k Hilary and racist bitch ass ti ….he aint selling no albums ..so he needs to try and get attention somewhere. Stop crying like a little bitch and go make some more garbage albums.

Fuck TI’s ignorant felon ass, it’s his own fault he has no clue how the election process works. He should stick to what he knows, selling drugs to and promoting crime to his own people.
