My purpose in posing the question was to understand whether or not the message he's trying to deliver to us is lessened by his actions in his personal life. From the very beginning, I never completely agreed with the message nor the method it was delivered (that's another discussion covered in another thread).

I believe that one of the purposes of his message was to put us on notice that we aren't raising our children right. I have to question his morals if he's not living by the same creed that he's preaching publicly to the masses. IMHO it's hypocritical.

I think that his philathropic deeds are totally separate from the scathing message he delivered. We only link the philanthropy to the message to justify why he should be able to publicly chastize us.

If Cosby was to decide that because of the public airing of his dirty laundry he no longer wanted to contribute to the education of youth, then I'd say his motives were not motivated in the true sense of providing an education for someone less fortunate. It would all be good PR; however, I do believe that his motives for funding scholarships are truly altruistic and not to promote his image. He's been doing it for years prior to his scathing message.
