I'm sorry, but this is a pretty ignorant question. What difference does it make? Also, I don't think they were rioting a lot, I think a lot was protesting to get equal rights. I'm glad they did, because they deserve them and they were long overdue.
How many time have whites rioted, or hispanics, or men, or women, or anti-war people?
How about past sports champions? There have been riots in cities after teams have won.

What kind of a question is that? You might as well ask how often the whites have rioted, the Chinese, the Mexicans or anyone else but riots are not necessarily caused due to the colour of your skin.

Just some earlier ones I've found, 16 here.
1906: In a repeat of the incident in Wilmington, dozens of Blacks and Whites are killed in several days racial rioting in Atlanta, Georgia;
1908: A race riot occurs in Springfield, Illinois, the home of Abraham Lincoln. Two vicious Black on White murders spark off a White riot during which a White crowd kills two Blacks and burns down a crime infested Black suburb known as the "Badlands."
1917: A race riot occurs in St. Louis, Illinois; some 40 people, mainly Blacks, are killed in the violence;
1917: A Black army battalion goes amok in Houston, using firearms against White civilians. Two Blacks and eleven Whites are killed in the fighting. Some 63 Black soldiers are court marshaled and thirteen are hanged as a result;
1918: A Black riot in Chester, Pennsylvania, spreads out to attack White passersby: two Whites are killed and three Blacks are shot by police;
1918: The riot in Chester spreads to Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. One White is killed and three Blacks are shot by police;
1919: The first of the infamous "Red Summer" race riots occur. Eventually 26 different riots take place between April and October. These included disturbances in the following areas:
May - Charleston, South Carolina;
July - Gregg and Longview counties, Texas;
July - Washington, D. C.;
July - Chicago; this was the worst of the 1919 riots. Sparked off when some Whites threw a few stones at a Black swimming in Lake Michigan; the Black swimmer subsequently drowned. The police refused to arrest the stone throwers as there was no link between the stone throwing and the drowning. Dissatisfied, a Black mob then went on a rampage in Chicago for several days, resulting in 38 deaths;
July - Knoxville, Tennessee;
July - Omaha, Nebraska;
October 1-3 - Elaine and Phillips counties, Alabama;
1921: In June, a serious race riot occurs in Tulsa, Oklahoma, involving Whites and Blacks: 21 Whites and 60 Blacks are killed;
1943: Conflicts over housing and jobs develop between Black and White workers, breaking out into open racial conflict in Detroit, resulting in the deaths of 25 Blacks and nine Whites before federal troops restore order.

Your question does not deserve an answer since you are showing a tnedency towards racism at what I imagine is a tender age.
