Talk:Race riot

message: I'm breaking this redirect because the redirect to Mass racial violence in the United States does not reflect a world-wide scope. Plenty of race riots (perhaps even the majority) took/take place outside the United States.
The Mass racial violence in the United States article is fine for the US, but Race riot should not redirect there. If no one wants to do anything about it, I will restore the former Race riot article with its country-neutral perspective. --kudz75 08:30, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe your memory is faulty when you refer to "the former Race riot article with its country-neutral perspective." The old race riots article actually was 100% about the U.S. I have no problem with breaking the redirect and creating a country-neutral Race riot article, but there won't be much in it initially except for a link to this article. --Bcrowell 15:22, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The incident was racially motivated as the flare-up of violence was a reaction to a murder sentencing difference between the Black & White (I think he was a 1st generation foreigner) criminals convicted of murdering a white person. They demanded the white guy get the death sentence & went as a lynch mob to the courthouse to steal him & exact justice on him, but he was arleady moved to another location. The white mob them proceeded to destroy the courthouse in anger. --Duemellon 21:44, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  1884 Cincinnati, Ohio The deadliest riot 

message: Were "race riots".
1st - The reaction to the polices' acquittal was one of distrust & accusations of the system protecting the cops because they were white while completely disregarding Rodney King's civil rights because he was a Black man. Beyond that, the participants in the riots were mostly Black & they were specially acting out against what they perceived to be non-Black entities during their rioting. --Duemellon 21:50, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  1992 LA Riots 

message: Is NOT limited to incidents where one race attacks another. It involves any riot where "Race is a key factor". Meaning:
:it could be one racial group targetting a very limited racial demographic
:it could be multiple racial groups targettign a single racial demographic
:it could be one racial group attacking the establishment or properties
:it could be multiple racial groups attacking a non-racial entity as a reaction to an incident they perceived to be racist
What it cannot be is:
:One racial group attacking another entity that happened to homogenously one race as a reaction to something other than the perception of racism or to begin/live-out racist desries
So, when considering what is a race riot, please keep in mind that it might not depend on the participants if it's a reaction percieved racism or the attempt to perform race-based violence. --Duemellon 21:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition of a Race Riot 

message: Due to recent racial controversy in Russian society, I feel Russia should be added to the list of countries who have endured race riots. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.117.237.169 (talk) 02:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Considering that virtually the entire contents of this article consist of a timeline of events, with only a short intro, it seems to me that it should have a title which more accurately reflects the contents -- something along the lines of "World timeline of race riots" or "World timeline of mass racial violence". 
I would like to know if there are any serious objections to this proposal; also, if anybody has another possible title which might be preferable to those I've suggested. Comments, everybody? Cgingold 03:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nearly three weeks have passed, and nobody has seen fit to respond to my proposal. I would much prefer to have some input on this before I take it upon myself to move the page. But if there's no input, I guess I will just do it myself in another few days. Cgingold 21:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a bit surprised that nobody has had anything to say about this in all this time. I guess there's no real objection, so I will proceed with the page move. Cgingold 22:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I will propose a merger with the article "List of race riots" if nobody is against that. This articles contains information mostly on the USA, and the two UK riots listed here are mostly ethnic riots. All the riots here are listed in the other article and I see no reason to include them in two different articles. Also there is not a clear difference between 'race' and 'ethnic' and the term 'race' can mean many different things depending on culture. FonsScientiae (talk) 13:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
