	May 13 Incident Summary
		1964 Race Riots in Singapore were a large contributing factor in the expulsion of that state from Malaysia, and racial tension continued to simmer, many Malays dissatisfied by their newly independent government's perceived willingness to placate the Chinese at their expense.
		It is speculated that the riots were not spontaneous expressions of bad feelings between the races but rather were deliberately started by rumours, exaggerations and lies that were created to arouse racial and religious hatred among the Malays.
		During the course of the riots, the loudspeakers of mosques were used to urge the rioters to continue in their actions.

	Jim Crow Riots--Southern urban centers
		The greatest number of race riots occurred during and just after World War I. During this period the North was concerned with the tremendous migration of Blacks from the South, and the displacement of some whites by Blacks in jobs and residences, which escalated social tensions between the races.
		Race riots were caused by a great number of social, political and economic factors.
		The cluster of race riots, the third wave, that broke out around the World War I period reflected both the demands for justice by angry African Americans and the increasing competition between fls and whites brought on by the war and the fl migration to urban areas in the North.

	Cleveland Race Riots of 1966
		Usually these riots occurred because of racist police forces (of Cleveland's 2,200 police officers, only 165 were fl) or because of a lack of declining hope among African Americans for economic, social, and political advancement.
		In the case of the Cleveland Race Riots of 1966, also known as the Hough Riots, violence erupted in June 1966.
		Another panel more accurately determined that "The underlying causes of the rioting are to be found in the social conditions that exist in the ghetto areas of Cleveland." In essence, African-American residents in this part of Cleveland felt hopeless and that the city, state, and federal government officials had forgotten about them.

	Race riot Summary
		The most dramatic riot of 1919 was in Chicago, where an incident at a Lake Michigan beach touched off thirteen days of rioting, leaving fifteen whites and twenty-three fls dead.
		Such riots often reflect anger among racial minority groups that are regarded as socio-economically deprived, and often such anger is directed at law enforcement agencies who are perceived to unfairly target these racial groups.
		Racial profiling, police brutality, institutional racism, urban renewal, and racial identity politics are often cited as causes of these riots, although many have argued that these riots tend not to follow any sort of political logic but rather represent spontaneous violent outbursts.

		Still quoting Johnson, he goes on to say that, "the bitter years that preceded the riots, the death of hope where hope existed, their sense of failure to change the conditions of life-these things no doubt led to these riots.
		But they did not justify them….we will never achieve a free and prosperous and hopeful society until we have suppressed the fires of hate and we have turned aside from violence-whether that violence comes from the nightriders of the Klan, or the snipers and the looters in the Watts district.

		The economists start with sociologists' findings on the riots' causes: whether a city had a riot was essentially unpredictable, assuming the city was outside the South (where few riots occurred) and had a substantial African-American population.
		In cities with major riots, the economists find that the median fl family income dropped by about 9 percent from 1960 to 1970, compared with similar cities without severe riots.
		The racial difference is not surprising, because both riot damage and the perceived risk of future riots were concentrated in predominately fl neighborhoods.
