Celebs are pouring out their hearts and minds about these 2016 Election results. From inspirational to funny to tear jerking, we're ALL going thru a range of emotions. Check out the reactions inside...
From rappers like Killer Mike, Macklemore and T.I. to influencers like Michael Moore to politicians like Toronto's Councillor Norm Kelly to all the celebs in between, everybody had something to say about Tuesday's election results.
Killer Mike broke down this election in one of the best ways we've seen. He explains why poor white people have always felt they had a leg up on even the "best" black person because, racism. This caused them to rarely ever join with their black brothers and sisters to lobby and advocate for pay wage increases and other benefits of workers. They saw their savior as Trump, even though Trump has proven time and time again to value (and send his business to) the very undocumented and/or foreign workers that those same white workers have an issue with.
He sat down with Ashanti and the co-hosts of "The Real" to break it all down saying:
I think poor white people are mad because the system that promises you something based on that isn’t ever going to give you that…
I knew people were mad, mad enough to do things I hadn’t expected them to do. So I saw people who looked like me and you say they were voting Trump and that scared me….
Toronto's Councillor Norm Kelly spoke up...with the shade:
I was hoping to tweet this at Trump, but I'm going have to tweet it at all Americans. And this isn't a joke, it's actually sad. pic.twitter.com/01Tb6BiwS4

Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy to the Detroit Free Press:
“I didn’t vote for (George W.) Bush, but he was a good, honorable man with whom I had political differences, so I didn’t vote for him. But for our country to be where we are now, who took a guy who -- I don’t care what anyone says, I’m sure they have other reasons and maybe good reasons for voting for Donald Trump -- but I don’t think anybody can deny this guy is openly and brazenly racist and misogynistic and ethnic-centric, and say, ‘That’s OK with us, we’re going to vote for him anyway.'
“We have just thrown a good part of our population under the bus, and I have problems with thinking that this is where we are as a country. It’s tough on (the team), we noticed it coming in. Everybody was a little quiet, and I thought, ‘Well, maybe the game the other night.’ And so we talked about that, but then Aron Baynes said, ‘I don’t think that’s why everybody’s quiet. It’s last night.’
“It’s just, we have said -- and my daughters, the three of them -- our society has said, ‘No, we think you should be second-class citizens. We want you to be second-class citizens. And we embrace a guy who is openly misogynistic as our leader.' I don’t know how we get past that.
More responses:
People can vote for Obama and also be attracted to the white supremacist message of Trump. The former doesn’t prove it’s not about racism.

Them: You'll be fine. Y'all are over-reacting. Trump is the president we deserve.

Austin Dash (Stacey Dash's son), who actually seemingly is not a Trump supporter, is still fed up with all the talk:
omg everyone shut up. #trump2016 it's real. Do your best work with what you got, ur signage and memes and protests make no difference

Protestors also took to the streets across the country:
Also, a middle school in Detroit went viral for a video of the students chanting "Build The Wall" as Latino students cried.
