People that think George Wallace died a racist don’t know much about George Wallace.

I'm cynical about whether he ever really changed his personal views, but he was a skilled politician and parlayed his supposed turn to the light into another term as governor.

George Wallace told everyone he was okay with black people, and he asked them to forgive him.

There's at least just a big chance that he saw the large percentage of the population in Alabama being black as a good enough reason as that he had a change of heart.

Maybe he left this mortal coil having changed his ways, or maybe was just doing what he always did - be carried the way the political winds blow. Hell, maybe he wasn't racist to start but just figured that would get him in power to begin with.

We'll never know. We can only look at his actions.
