Best Answer

Racial violence in the early twentieth century was mainly associated with economic issues. The East St. Louis riot killed at least 100 blacks. The Atlanta, Omaha and Chicago riots killed hundreds of blacks and were caused by economic tensions. In many cases, the rioters were represented by a large segment of ethnic white immigrants, who competed with blacks for jobs.

Essentially, this discrimination started by the difference in skin color and the whites thought they were better than the blacks
