ETA: This link is about 4 years old, and it deals more generally with "hate crimes," but it seems like the distribution is pretty well spread across the country (if you're looking at reports per agency): http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_04/offen...ime/index.html |
Of the previous twenty years...
Crown Heights Riot, Hempstead High School Riot, Philadelphia Riots of (2001)?
Other northern (but not necessarily northeastern) race riots include Toledo and Cincinatti and Benton Harbor.
In the previous 20 years, excluding Florida (most of which is not part of the cultural South), there hasn't been a race riot.
Furthermore, out West you have stuff like Southcentral Riots in LA, Inglewood High, Lock High School and so on.
If I have forgotten a race riot in the new South (post-1985), excuse me. But, I can't think of one off the top of my head.
Kevin:
In terms of black on white violence, I mean perhaps but there was no real proven motive on the black side that it was specifically "hating whitey" on the part of the black teen who beat the hell out of the white kid.

The breakdown table doesn't have it divided up between race. It doesn't really help.
