<<Give the man some time at least to be deceased before you step all over his grave...geeeesh.>>
NOW is the opportunity to comment on the dead pig, Professor. A month from now, no one will ever think of the little swine. Right now when folks are saying nice or semi-nice or even mildly disapproving things about him, is the time to remind everyone what a really unredeemable piece of filth he actually was. NOT later, when everyone's forgotten all about him.
I look on this as line-drawing time: Racists and racist sympathizers will billow fake clouds of pompous pseudo-outrage at the "desecration" of this noble soul's memory. The real anti-racists will call that dead pig on his racism WHENEVER the subject arises and despite any and all attempts to whitewash.
