The racial tensions were increased because of Reconstruction. Whites thought the Freedman's Bureau would give Blacks handouts and make them lazy. During Reconstruction Southerners created the Black codes as a way to stifle any progress that Blacks attempted to make.
Jack Johnson was an African American heavyweight boxing champion who gained fame before World War I but did not serve in the military during the war. His life and career were marked by racial tensions, and he became a symbol of the struggle against racial discrimination. Johnson's victory over white boxer Jim Jeffries in 1910 led to widespread riots and highlighted the racial divisions in America at the time. His legacy continues to influence discussions about race and sports.

During World War II, racial tension in the U.S. was evident in several key events. The Detroit Race Riot of 1943 erupted over competition for jobs and housing, resulting in significant violence and casualties. Additionally, the Zoot Suit Riots in Los Angeles involved conflicts between white servicemen and Mexican American youths, highlighting racial and cultural clashes. These incidents underscored the deep-seated racial inequalities and tensions that persisted even amid the national unity called for by the war effort.

Racial Tension
hostile
Racial tension during the 1900s was fueled by a combination of systemic racism, segregationist policies, and economic competition. The Jim Crow laws in the South enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans, while the Great Migration saw many Black Americans move to northern cities, leading to competition for jobs and housing. Additionally, events like the Red Summer of 1919, marked by race riots, highlighted the violent backlash against Black communities asserting their rights. Overall, deep-seated prejudices and socio-economic disparities exacerbated racial conflict throughout the decade.
Racial tension is animosity or dislike between two (or sometimes more) racial groups. It can be caused by resentment (one group believes the other is being treated better in the society) or by bigotry (some racial groups have been taught to be prejudiced against other races). In America, there has been racial tension between blacks and whites, while in other countries, there have been tensions between the dominant race and minority races: in Japan, there was prejudice against Koreans, and in Latin America, certain indigenous tribes suffered harsh treatment from the ruling (and often light-skinned) majority. Racial tension usually begins with mistrust and stereotypes, but it can also lead to violence. For example, in the American south, racial tension in the early 1900s was often exacerbated by white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan, resulting in race riots and the lynching of black people.

Because so much violence had happened in America, and Bernstein wanted to impress upon people the racial tension that was going on in that period.
