His true feelings about black people etc. since his youth may well only be known to him. Just because he says something doesn't mean he's not simply saying it to keep getting votes and be politically correct. That's not to say it's BAD to make his apologies etc. - it's a good thing, but given his past, who knows if he really legitimately lost his hatred of black people or simply quelled it when seeing the moneybags of political office.

He was a legitimate politician, regardless of what you think. I don't like Dick Cheney either and he's done a lot of harm to this country but I won't be cheering his death. That's pathetic.
Those were the true feelings for many people born around 1917. It was pretty normal in America to feel that way. It was only 50 or so years since they were all slaves. Just because he was very old, you're blaming the sins of his fathers and his country on him after they've changed.
