Were there any other presidential candidates who were racist?

Question

There have been a substantial amount of men to bid for the presidency in the history of the U.S., and apparently, Obama is the first of these to be a racist. Were there any other racist candidates throughout history, or is Obama really the first one ever?

Answer 1

Yeah, Ronald Reagan was a racist. He supported Barry Goldwater, also a racist Presidential candidate. He gave a stump speech in Philadelphia, Mississippi, espousing states' rights after the murder of three civil rights workers. "States' rights" was code for "segregation". Reagan wanted to allow states the choice, to decide whether or not Black people should be treated like dogs.

Answer 2

What the bleep are you talking about?  He is not a racist but you sound like you're likely one.  FDR, great as he was, was also Anti-Semetic.
