There is a mortgage? Do you have any links to that? I thought he bought it cash, but that was my understanding. If it has a mortgage I'd be disappointed. So, I'd love to see any 'receipts'.
Second, he hired a security company. The Fruit of Islam would be way too expensive as an ongoing security team. To his credit he hires them for his own personal security when he's out. If there are affordable, all black security in LA, I'd like to see them hired or at least sent to him for consideration. Other than that, companies hire staff, he doesn't.
I can understand if any one wants a strict list of functions the museum should host. That's fair. One has to ask though is it advisable? Again, as I posted before, white meseums host fundraisers, charity events, etc. They do so to promote their museum. Just asking for a friend....lol...is that an issue? Also, don't these events make a profit (probably)? Wouldn't that then serve as a funding to buy more and better exhibits?
Valid concerns, I guess its up to each person, how serious of a concern it is. I don't think anyone is completely right or wrong in what he's doing with the space currently.
