ersation they're having.

I did a little poll in which I asked people if they thought the Black Lives Matter protests were making things better or worse for Black Americans. Now most of the people who answered it were probably people who were Trump supporters, probably more male, probably more white, 80% white something like that. Because that's just who follows me on Twitter. It's not my fault. Don't blame me. I'm not the one who decides who follows me. I'm just telling you that's who follows me. If you don't think that's diverse enough, I can't help it.

But anyway, I think something like 83%, I didn't check it recently, said that the protests are making it worse for Black people in the United States. Now you might say to yourself, well why are you asking a bunch of white people if this is making it worse for Black people? Well that's exactly the group to ask if you want to see how the people who might have prejudice are feeling. Because Black people are not trying to convince other Black people that they should get more respect, resources, etc. They're trying to convince the very kind of people who answered my poll. So that is the group you want to hear from. How do you feel about this segment of society now that they've expressed, let's say the Black Lives Matter protests, etc., have been expressed the way they have been expressed? And if you get 83% or somewhere in that neighborhood saying it made things worse for Black people, I think that probably did.

And here's how I think it's worse. I think the, I hate to use this word but you know what I'm talking about, the brand for Black America I think is ruined for a while. It might take 10 years to recover that because it's such a bad look. Because it's paired with looting and paired with pictures of destruction and violence, etc. Because all those things are paired, it's just become a terrible look. And then the Black Lives Matter leaders saying stuff such as the looting is reparations. I don't know how you could do a worse thing to the public you're trying to help. I mean really, if Black people in America thought that something like real reparations could be possible, would you want your, let's say, people who present themselves as leaders, the Black Lives Matter leaders and organizers, would you want them saying that the looting was reparations? That's exactly what you'd want them not to say because that just took it right off the table.

You know, I was sort of pro looking into reparations, at least having a legitimate conversation about what could and could not be done given constraints. I was all for that. I'm all for any conversation. And I think that that was worth having. But not now. Now it would just be a waste of time. I wouldn't spend one minute talking about reparations. I'd wait another 10 years before bringing that up. So I think things are worse for reparations. They're certainly worse for racial harmony. And I think it's going to have the biggest impact on employment. I think Black employment is going to take a hit because a lot of people are going to say, you know, I just don't want somebody who feels bad about me. So it won't even be a question that the employer feels bad about the employee. They'll just say why would I hire somebody I think might have a bad attitude about me? And that would be fair. I don't know if it would be legal but it would certainly be reasonable to not hire people you have a high degree of certainty that they don't like you.

And of course Black Lives Matter has their priorities upside down, which is the worst thing. They're focusing on the police element of it which needs a look. I'm not saying that you should brush that aside. There's something real that needs to be looked at there and made better. But it is also their lowest priority or should be because it affects the fewest people. Highest priority of course is the teachers unions which are the source of ongoing systemic racism. So if Black Lives Matter can't even fight systemic racism right, they're going after the lowest priority instead of the highest priority, the teachers unions, it's hard to give them any credibility. So I think they're way behind.

CNN news is about QAnon because that embarrasses the president and about the U.S. Postal Service being actually quite dependable. So CNN is trying to brainwash the country into thinking mail service is dependable. Let me ask you this. Have you ever had somebody else's mail delivered to your mailbox? I think you have. I think yes. Have you ever mailed anything that didn't get to its destination? Oh I think you have. Has anybody ever mailed something to you that you didn't get? Oh I think you have. You've had that experience.

I mentioned before my father worked for the post office for 30 years. Every night he would come home and over dinner he would complain about some post office inefficiency. So I'm as biased as you could possibly be about the efficiency of the post office. Let me tell you one other little anecdote. Back in the days when I would draw the comic strip Dilbert on paper and I would take a copy of it and mail the original to my syndicator who would then take copies and send it off to the newspapers. Well what happens once the post office where you mail your originals, what happens once they figure out your name? What happened after they recognized my name and realized I was the Dilbert creator and I was sending a package that was about the size of original art? What do you think happened to my original art? Stolen. Yeah, stolen. Was I the only cartoonist
