I'm more referring to the open racism and racial violence that started to show up during the previous administration, and was alarmingly ignored. It stands to reason that if they're given a second chance, such events would further escalate. Which is what Biden is referring to. Racists generally try to do violence anonymously. They'd likely stop feeling the need to continue trying to be anonymous if they didn't fear consequences.
