Prior to the 1960s, rioting (or race riots)...

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:

ok

We've come a long way and there's a long way to go, not sure what else needs to be said.

I like that one where they had WWI biplanes bombing darkie, that was interesting history. But in turn, they burned down black Wall Street, which was a damn shame.

>you know, in addition to the unwarranted wanton violence

Have we?

Whats the problem here?

Whites being barbarians

I mean, if you and your ancestors build an entire nation dont you have some justification in dictating who gets go move in to your neighborhoods?

its almost like blacks and whites living together causes more harm than good

Tulsa riots were justified, it was the proletariat rising up and killing the bourgeoisie.

>whites
*southerners

>you have more money than me
>this makes me butthurt
>I burn down your business and home
>"Looks like we can't get along user"

Are you a race riot apologist or just an edgelord? What about the Golden Rule user? What about all men created equal?

See

>you and your ancestors build an entire nation

You mean the European immigrants who helped build this nation, or do you mean the African slaves brought here against their will that helped build this nation?

>wealthy and non-wealthy blacks alike were murdered, driven out of town and their businesses burned to the ground
>wealthy whites untouched
>race was literally the fixation of the entire event

>it wuz a pro-lit-arry-at uprising!

This isn't your designated shitting board
is that way -->

>owns a business
>isn't a capitalist
Pick one.

They didn't actually do much though other than menial labour lol

>helped build this nation
Nigger slavery hindered modernization and advancement. Not saying they hindered it deliberately as it was against their will, but their presence here sure did.

>implying most of the whites (like most of the people at the time) weren't also business owners

No, most white people were laborers.

Entirely justified. Desegregation was a mistake.

This is getting stale, I'm not giving you anymore easy (You)s because you're not even trying anymore

>building infrastructure, roads, canals, etc in the 18th and 19th centuries did not require an astronomical amount of menial labor
>menial labor didn't constitute most of a workforce in that time period
>the country didn't benefit from the products of slave labor

>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

I don't think it was Justified.

yea I rly hate niggrs al so! ;D

Am I being trolled?

Don't waste your time

That was mostly done with hired labor though. Or are you talking about the south? Because that begs the question of "what fucking infrastructure"?

N-n-no, Veeky Forums is for serious discussion only, as evidenced by the very astute and nonedgy posts ITT

>what fucking infrastructure

What little there was was sure as shit made with slave labor. I'm not saying they built everything, or made the railroads and internet. I'm just saying that they helped build this country, even if it was against their will.

>EVERYTHING IS MADE OF COTTON

>being the backbone of the economy of a giant portion of the United States IS NOT CONTRIBUTING

>Cotton is King

>sure as shit made with slave labor
got a source for that bub

One of the many missing from this list. Likely because it starts in 1921. Wilmington Insurrection of 1898. During the reconstruction period, things were integrated, and blacks were doing well, and contributing members of society, and white southerners were like fuck that.

>In 1860, before the Civil War, Wilmington was majority black and the largest city in the state, with nearly 10,000 people.Numerous slaves and free people of color worked at the port, in households as domestic servants, and in a variety of jobs as artisans and skilled workers

>Wilmington, then the largest city in the state, had a majority-black population. Included were numerous black professionals and businessmen, and a rising middle class. The Republican Party was biracial in membership. Unlike in many other jurisdictions, blacks in Wilmington gained positions as members of the police force and fire department, as well as elected positions

>After the violence settled, more than 2100 blacks left Wilmington permanently, sharply reducing its professional and artisan class and changing the demographics to leave a white-majority city. Among those who left were journalist and political appointee John C. Dancy

See They hindered progress.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington_insurrection_of_1898

Newspaper article on the insurrection, titled "White Man's Day"

Even so, why fuck with them once they are free and productive?

No, the plantation owners who brought them here in chains and fought a war over the right to keep them, rather than adopt more modern way of life, hindered progress.

is this the white guilt thread?

You could say that. But saying the presence of blacks contributed to anything but scientific and economic stagnation is a meme.

Menial labor that basically built this country's infrastructure until the early 20th century

But most of these were doing segregation. They went into the separate black communities and burned them down.

Things were integrated post Civil War, during Reconstruction, and blacks were literally ran out of town, disenfranchised, and Jim Crow laws created. See OPS link doesn't even include any of the riots during the "Red Summer" in 1919.

Black vets coming home from WWI to be murdered in the streets en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Summer

ok, all we have to do is classify italians, irish, eastern european, central europeans and southern europeans wageslaves as "nonwhite" :^)

They were all classified as white.

Yeah, the fact that slaves existed in the US ultimately hindered progress.

But they aren't white.

Biologically they are.

Race is a social construct so there's no such thing as "white guilt"

white chimpout

>leftists still push this shit meme after getting BTFO repeatedly
desuarchive.org/his/thread/3510794

Ethnicity isn't though

"ethnic whites" at that time. They weren't considered full whites until about the depression/WWII

No they aren't. they are sub-humans.

>Biologically they are.
[citation needed]

Nobody is falling for it, give up.

Any population genetics study ever conducted.

explain how that's relevant please

Schlomo, please.

Ethnicity is social construct, race is not. Ethnicity is inherently tied to language (social) more so than race (biology).

>Schlomo

it was a joke. fact of the matter is is that a majority of whites didn't own businesses before wwii

if you count "genetically similar" as "white" then ok

Based on poorly blacks have behaved before and since, it was completely justified. I don't think anyone disagrees, unless they're being an edgy contrarian leftist.

What about this?

Yes? It's a biological category, not just social.

>whites rioting over a crime that probably never happened because the victim happened to share their skin colour
Lol, how times have changed.

Whoa, less than 100 years ago too. We've really come a long way

Is there ANY proof that blacks have assimilated at all into American society? Even post-1960s when they got affirmative action et al.?

yes.

He's obviously baiting and trolling. The truth is, as far African Americans, they can do no right. When they do get, we don't like it. When they do bad, obviously that's not good. But for our country to function like it does we need black people to be the bad guy. Or else, like tried to falsely imply for the Tulsa riots, if blacks ever stopped being the boogeyman the proletariat really would rise up and kill the bourgeoisie.

Did black ppl dindu nuffin or were there some bad apples that caused over-reactions?

>not being a strasserist
>not being class conscious AND race conscious
>not hating black bourgeoise with double hate

yeah. scary pictures of le evil black people you download from brietbart aren't evidence of anything

...

>50% of crime, 12% of population

>black people riot and burn down shit
>black people are bad
>white people riot and burn down shit
>black people are bad.

I'm not 100% sure that this is the right conclusion to draw.

>it's ok when they riot

>antifa riots aren't evidence that whites can be as violent as blacks

Hate the race, not the deeds.

Communists aren't people

...

Neither are socialist, but people still respect Hitler

i respect dogs

Hasn't been always been that way. Matter of fact, this topic goes a long way to show how it got that way. Everytime blacks were productive, a segment of the white population shut that shit down Negan style. Even a big part of the crime rate is due to how policing works, which traces back to this sort of thing.

>Hasn't been always been that way.
Post the historical crime rates.

>50% of crime
~50% of crime recorded by the justice department when it is proven that black communities are disproportionately policed and black people are punished harder for the same crimes as whites. whites sometimes aren't even arrested for the same crimes. this is not even mentioning the complex societal structures and the history of oppression that result in why black communities are generally shitty and poor. but I guess if you're a mouthbreathing /pol/tard you just want an easy soundbite answer so you just blurt out "hurr nigger".

>it's all whiteys fault
take some responsibility

>he fell for the oppression meme

>when it is proven that black communities are disproportionately policed
You may be putting the cart before the horse here, user

>take some responsibility
ironic

>the reason we have a 10 times higher murder rate than white people is because da popo is raysiz

This. Black communities are stuck in a perpetual cycle of shit. Broken families, lack of access to decent education and a self perpetuating gun culture fuck them over bad. That's not even taking into account that they're disproportionately targeted by police (my opinion is that it's mostly because their poor with a side of genuine racism).

This Veeky Forums not current events. How about these race riots and destruction of productive black communities

*self perpetuating gang culture.

I, like most people, am looking for a reason to not be racist. It's hard to do without self-censorship.

Once again, this is Veeky Forums. What do you thing led to this culture? What do you think of history put forth in the OP and other posts? What do you think of these past black communities?

This is a big part of it. People always ask why there's this almost "anti-success" mentality with segments of the black community. When you've been fucked over time and time again for being successful it starts to become ingrained into you to not be successful.

>Broken families, lack of access to decent education and a self perpetuating gun culture fuck them over bad.

>he's not a bio-determinst.
Family doesn't matter though associating with a gang can so strong policing actually is the solution.

I asked if there was anything "the blacks" did that started the white mobs and no one replied.
