He dismisses the effects of racism and says that the situation African Americans find themselves in is due to "bad culture" (pretty rich from a guy who cheated on his wives, divorced one while she was in the hospital with cancer and then didn't pay alimony or child support so her church had to raise money for her bills, admitted that he smoked weed, admitted to ethics violations in the senate, etc, etc) and "bad government". He may sound reasonable but he's the same person he was 20 years ago.

My guess is that he is an egotistical attention hog, who must constantly be in the spotlight. Otherwise his opinions would gel into a consistent ideology/world view.
