Were judged by are actions and what we did in life. Dieing does not make you a better person.

I will speak ill of the dead, I will speak frankly about the life they lived and if they or their family or their supporters are ashamed of it then that speaks more of their values than me speaking about their misdeeds. I get not focusing on someone's failings but not remembering someone for their intentional actions is a disservice to their legacy and our future history.

If they're ashamed of his legacy then why didn't he or they try to right his wrongs?
