Mass racial violence in the United States, often described using the term "race riots," includes such disparate events as:
- attacks on Irish Catholics and other early immigrants in the 19th century
- massacres of black people in the period after Reconstruction.
- frequent fighting among various ethnic groups in major cities, specifically in the northeast United States throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
- uprisings in African-American communities such as the 1968 riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
