These violent conflicts are, according to Neil Smelser, expressions of direct clashes of goals.

Explanation:

The purpose of the Civil Rights Movement was to advocate for greater rights and greater participation in society for African Americans. The most notable purpose of the movement was to allow people to vote as they wished, without risking their lives.

Blacks were treated poorly and with disrespect. Though they were innocent they weer not allowed to give a word against any white and they were forced to accept crime guilt even thought they were innocent of it. The whites were abandoning the rights for the African Americans but the African Americans were continuously in the struggle for many years to claim their rights and hence it was termed to be the direct clash of goals for both the parties.
