emotional people that has past their trigger point and lashed out and. Examples

2. This riot was the most famous of riots in Arkansas
because it held many values and signifies many important marks of that era, it
was called the “Elaine Massacre” “ Elaine Race Massacre” or “Elaine Race Riot
of 1919”. It was the first time federal court got involved against a racial
biased southern court and as well as reversed the decision made by them by
later released black folks that were held prisoners. The riot caused the lives
of two hundred African American, and many others were later forcibly arrested.
What caused all this was the fact that many of the African American felt they
were being underpaid by their white landowners and the price of cotton that
they made were undervalued. So they set up a union and during the union white
officials came and reportedly fired at the crowd, though many don’t really know
who fired first, the union fired back and killed two of the officials. After
this the whites were hell-bent in destroying and burning blacks homes and
businesses. Since this happen a while ago media coverage is hard to find but
one story that ran in the NY Times stated it was all planned by the black
community to massacre whites that day.
