I mean, he could have been raised and surrounded by virulent bigots his whole life, shared those views, been immersed in bigot propaganda, but then later had a change of heart. I'm thinking of C.P. Ellis and other reformed racists. It's also possible that those newsletters were some sort of COINTELPRO to discredit him. Maybe he was shown fake copies that weren't that inflammatory, and then the racist ones were published. Who knows? I saw footage of him on Morton Downey Jr. when he was younger and running on a Libertarian ticket. It made Jerry Springer look civilized. There was no civility or even pretense of a debate. He didn't say anything racist then, and Morton Downey Jr. would always make racial remarks on his show, usually directed at foreigners. Or he could be a big fat evil racist.
