You're overestimating the punishment society doles out for racism Losty, because you personally detest it and imagine that so many others do as well. In reality, racists are installed in positions of authority and power for life because..not in spite of, their racism. They are held in high esteem because, not in spite of, their racism.
It sucks to be a poor racist....but that probably has more to do with being poor, and only when moving outside of their own circles, which are vast. How the relationship between society, racism, and violence plays out, is that violence is so negatively valued that violence engaged in specifically to stem some racist x is treated more harshly than the racism which compelled the response. It panics people....god forbid they fight back, do something. I mean sure, the other guy is a hood wearing klansman, but we've got rabid minorities to deal with! Lord only knows who they're gonna bite next.
