Creates Endowment for U of Houston But Not for HBCU's

He created a $600,000 endowment for UH but not for TSU or PV. Why would someone donate to a university from which they did not graduate, while his alma mater is more in need. An endowment at TSU or PV would do more to help people that look like him. Is this a case of miseducation of the negro.

Is he from Nigeria? Most Nigerians that I am familiar with tend to cater towards whites. Once they get over here and get a full belly, they turn white.
