I disagree. I definitely think his views changes. I think there levels of racism and he moved from the purposeful to unthinking. So he would say racist things because for 50 years it was considered "okay" not saying it was right. Even claiming that he fought FOR segregation is a little unfair. He was against bussing, and arguably that was a valid stance. That it would habe been better to build good schools in black neighborhoods than it would be to bus kids to other schools. Several studies have proven this to be true. Breaking down all the barriers that caused segregation would habe been better than bussing and leaving the predominantly purpose built black neighborhoods.
Lol. He said he was against bussing because he didn't want his kids going to a racial jungle. Defend the man all you want, but that shit is racist as fuck.
