My mom is always pretty scared of black men when she's walking down the street. Do you think she is justified in thinking this way?

No, my mom is not justified in thinking this way. It is unfortunate that she may feel threatened when she encounters black men, but this is an irrational fear that should be addressed. She should try to be aware of the negative judgments and assumptions she may be making and work to overcome them. We all have the right to feel safe when we’re out in public. Encounters with black men can be beneficial and should be seen as potential sources of knowledge and connection. We need to combat racial bias and recognize that a stranger's skin color or religion does not necessarily mean that they are a threat. We should recognize the humanity in each and every person.
