Prior to the 1960s, rioting (or race riots), consisted of whites burning down and destroying black communities simply because they didn't want them there. Mostly in major northern, western and Midwestern cities, where the population of black citizens grew tremendously due to the great migration. Blacks fled from Jim Crow south to seek refuge and to find jobs and homes. The competition was fierce, thousands and thousands of blacks flooded the cities resulting in "white flight". White people were angry that blacks were taking over jobs and building their own communities. Even white soldiers that have been stationed away from home were furious when they came back to this "change". This is how race riots started. Whites were not too happy about desegregation in their cities. With subliminal attempts to keep their city segregated, blacks were not allowed in the "white" part of town. Black homes and communities were destroyed and burned down by angry white mobs and countless deaths occurred. Here are ONLY just a few examples of race riots that took place in our country:
1921: May 30- June 1. Tulsa, OK. Black Wall Street Massacre 1922. May 6, June 9 Kirven, Texas 1923: January 1. Rosewood, FL Rosewood Massacre 1930: October 12-15 Sainte Genevieve, MO 1931: March Scottsboro, AL 1935: March 19 Harlem, NY Harlem Riot of 1935 1943: May Mobile, AL 1943: June Los Angeles, CA Zoot Suit Riot 1943: June 15-16 Beaumont, TX Beaumont Race Riot of 1943 1943: June 20 Detroit, MI Detroit Race Riot 1943:August 1 Harlem,NY Harlem Riot of 1943 1949: August-September Peekskill, NY 1951: July 11-12 Cicero County, IL Cicero Race Riot 1958: Maxton, NC Battle of Hayes Pond 1959: February Pearl River County, MS 1960: April Biloxi Beach, MS

We didn't do anything. We were good men on our way to church. We need more money to pay for those programs

Was going to look into all those other "riots" but the first one you mentioned wasn't because Whites were angry that niggers were living by them, it was because some dindu said he dindu nuttin to the white girl then when things escalated a black man shot a white man first which resulted in the group of white men to go to the black town and fuck shit up. If that black man never shot the white man the "riot" wouldn't have happened. PRIME example of Black people perpetuating the victim card.

Obviously not enough was done.

Don’t forget the Boston Bus Riots

Good post OP. However this will get mostly ignored. Those who do argue will have no logical argument.

All this shit just keeps reminding me what a bunch of hypocritical cunts that Yankees are. They hate on Southerners because of Muh Civil War, but these incidents don’t lie. The highest concentration of Triple-K members has always been in Indiana, and the biggest riot in US history was the Anti-Draft, I don’t want to fight for slaves, Riots in NYC. Sanctimonious Asshole Yankees, guilty of the bull shit they preach.

I guess separation is the only thing thats gon stop Whitey

Like I said, I was going to look into them until I noticed your first one wasn't an actual "race riot", more so a response to a nigger shooting a white man. If I were to look into these I'm pretty sure more than half would be the same exact thing, a nigger did something stupid resulting in the white populace to respond.

>white mob started attacking residents and businesses of the African-American community.
>The riot began over a Memorial Day weekend after a young black man was accused of raping a young white female elevator operator at a commercial building.
>The women in question in her later years said that Rowland (The So-called Rapist) tripped in the elevator on his way to a segregated bathroom, and a white store clerk misconstrued the incident as an "assault" or rape. She herself did not press any charges and simply wished this incident would not be overblown.
>Regardless of whether the assault had occurred, Rowland had reason to be fearful. At the time, such an accusation alone put him at risk for attack by whites. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Rowland fled to his mother's house in the Greenwood neighborhood, the center of the black community.
>The traditionally black district of Greenwood in Tulsa had a commercial district so prosperous that it was known as "the Negro Wall Street" (now commonly referred to as "the Black Wall Street").Blacks had created their own businesses and services in this enclave, including several grocers, two independent newspapers, two movie theaters, nightclubs, and numerous churches. Black professionals: doctors, dentists, lawyers, and clergy, served the community. Because of residential segregation in the city, most classes of blacks lived together in Greenwood. They selected their own leaders and raised capital there to support economic growth. In the surrounding areas of northeastern Oklahoma, blacks also enjoyed relative prosperity and participated in the oil boom. Which many Poor whites envied
Gavin Bailey
same with most lynchings. Anyone who actually lives around blacks does not feel bad for blacks

Rochester race riot was because of a black teen who was arrested at a block party because he was highly intoxicated, the niggers didn't like it, so they began to riot. Your post was about White people rioting because they didn't like Black people living near them, but the Rochester race riot was done by Blacks, and resulted in a Black man killing a White man. Also, Whites weren't mad about Blacks creating their "own communities", Blacks were mad that they were dirt poor, undereducated and lived in shitty conditions because of these two things.
Dominic Nelson
You left out the part where a mob of Blacks gather with guns and go to the court house to protect Rowland in which a Black man fires on a White man and kills him, which resulted in the Whites going to their houses and gathering their guns and going to "Black wall street"
Isaac Bailey
i stole this from /his this is a meme and you fell for it
Luis James
No it was usually a result of a black-on-white murder. Now they get away with this shit thousands of times a year with no consquences. Hopefully when spics take over the US they will bring back the old ways
Thomas Edwards
More like you got called out for not knowing shit and being a cuck to the superior BBC so now your defense is "ONLY A PRANK BRO" *Tips fedora.

We need to start doing this again. Our ancestors would be ashamed of us for not putting the niggers in their place.
