	Race riot Summary
		A race riot or racial riot is an outbreak of violent civil unrest in which race is a key factor.
		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.

		Bailed out by Andre and Nique, Macon becomes a cause, a spokesman, and a brand known as "the Franchise." He calls for a Day of Apology, psychological reparations in which whites apologize to fls for the racism embedded in American culture.
		That notion threatens to spur a riot and is among the most confrontational in this highly provocative book.
		The male characters are fuller; the hillbillies who take Macon on an Alabama trip evocative of the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Miss., are especially well drawn.
