You called it even when there were those on social media blasting you for "undermining a positive and successful Black man." In my line of work, we call it affinity fraud or 'fraud of the heart' in which people use emotion to defraud their own. Trust but verify is something more in Black and HBCU community need to do to avoid embarrassments and mistrust. Also, we need more Blacks and Black media to ask the tough questions and not give people a pass just because they look like us. As I mentioned to others, just because someone looks like you, does not mean they have same interests or thinking like you. This is a lesson for everyone including myself.

The rivalry between FAMU and Bethune-Cookman is definitely deeper rivalry than FAMU and Jackson State :-)
