Who was the last "openly racists Presidential candidate" before Trump?

I guess it depends on what qualifies as openly racist. it appears you've set the bar at some supporters are, but the man is not:

Quote:Trump, Aug. 14, 2017: As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.


And as I have said many times before: No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.

Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.

We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our Creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our Constitution. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.

But folks looking for fault instead of truth will go with the "Good people on both sides" sound bite. 

So using your standard I'll say Barrack Obama was the last openly racist President due to his association with Jeremiah Wright and others.
