The race riots of 1919 were mainly caused by economics. Whites were competing with returning black soldiers for jobs. The situation was not at all helped by Woodrow Wilson's comment that the soldiers were bringing back Bolshevism with them. After the communist revolution of 1917, America had become extremely paranoid about communism.
