I am SO, SLOW-CLAPPIN' this ENTIRE piece, Brother! Thanks for laying out ALL of my exact, same thoughts on this situation!!
I only have one small nit to pick -- it was Talladega College (not University) in Talladega, Alabama that he USED to set up his con. I know because I actually graduated from there in 1978! He used Jackson State and gave HBCUs his ass to kiss merely to satisfy his ego. He didn't give two shits about what he could've genuinely given back. {SMDH}
Great post!
