The Frontline documentary on him talks about his upbringing and why he is the way he is. They even interviewed his friends growing up who corroborated a lot of the things said.

The basic gist is
  • Growing up among black folks in the south, he faced a lot of colorism. He was very bitter and resentful about being hated on for his dark skin by other members of his own race
  • He goes to college dabbles in the black power movement briefly. Not so c00nish yet
  • His origin story into super c00nery seems to have started after graduating law school. This is not too long after civil rights and despite it being illegal to racial discriminate in hiring, the top white law firms pass him over and he has trouble finding work to match what he believes he deserves.
  • Instead of reasonably assuming that even though the laws has changed, whites who only a few years ago were able to blatantly discriminate against him are still racist and exclusionary as fukk and directing his anger at them, he blames affirmative action because he thinks it's the sole reason they will not give him the respect he deserves.
The rest is history from that point. Also, once republican power brokers started giving him gifts and giving him the lifestyle he felt he deserved in the 90s, that became his only motivation. So now he is a bought and paid for c00n for the rich republicans. That's it.

The only lesson for black people I do think they should learn from his story is that, colorism and the way we treat each other in our formative years does impact a lot of people's self esteem for the rest of their lives. I don't think it's as bad as it used to be but we should treat each other better in this regard.

He and his wife have about a 50/50 shot to win in November then be able to have a mandate to do whatever they want. He's just letting everyone know so that nobody is surprised.
