This is brand new information. 

Not only are all the GOP candidates racist but essentially every single white person who has ever lived in this country is absolutely, completely, 100% racist.  Seriously, whitness can only be created through systemic, oppressive, institutionalized racism and you can be damn sure that all white folk are raised in a culture of whitness to be white.  That’s just how it is.  There are a few white people who manage to deal with their whitness and become less awful but it’s rare and it takes a ton of really hard work including admitting to all the really hard scary stuff like actually being a racist and all of that privilege and the fact that your whole life is better because it was built upon the degradation of people of color.
