Much information on race riots is available in old versions of street fighting. It was deleted there for being POV and not apropos, but for some reason it was not edited and put in here. --Andrew 06:45, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)
During this time the south was segregated, or restricting the riots of certain portions of the population based on their ethnicity, or race. What made this riot particually unique is that from New York City, all the way to Montgomery, Alabama. Virtually every major city in the United States rioted. In effect because racism, and other factors including poverty, and inequal oppertunity, the segregated people protested against the state. Leading up to the murder of a Martin Luther King 1968 with a rifle by a white person. After this, a cascade effect touched off huge protests that lead to nationwide riots.
The Democratic party had some of the worst racists our nation has ever seen. In the deep south Democrats held several governors seats, and were ruthless then, and even now. As the Democrats Convetion in Chicago had the famous line from then late Democratic party supporter Mayor Daley "shoot to kill". These orders given to the police of the time allow the police to kill anyone in Chicago. In effect the Chicago police were turned into something like the Japanese Samurai class, killing anyone who was out of line.
The use of water hoses, as well as passive resistance was used by people to resist police, and people. Tactics such as the sit in, and the boycott were used to level damage to businesses by cutting off the supply of people to them.
The most damaing effect
Which basically proves the same mentality that exists in the New York State Draft riots has and is still carried on for a few hundred years. In a riot police, do not protect and serve, they like any military force will kill any rioters when given the order to do so.
This is very POV but maybe something of value can be extracted. --Andrew 08:18, Apr 19, 2004 (UTC)
