This article also suggestions that besides being a "babe magnet", Franklin had a really sharp humor, and was not a humble person, although he recognized the value of humility.

are there any other bad qualities he had other than affairs
Check the first site I gave you, it is suggested that he was not particulary humble, and that he had a very sharp, maybe cutting sense of humor.
i know but is there any other aspects that were bad that he had about politics or if he was racist
He would not have been considered "racist" in his day. That was not a term that would have been used.
