The tax exempt status of a racist church is not the state supporting racism, any more than the tax exempt status of a non-racist church is the state supporting non-racism. The government doesn't decide whether or not a church is tax exempt based upon its doctrines. which is as it should be.

Whether or not churches is general should be tax exempt is a separate issue.
