No not at all, what I recommend is that you get a couple black women as friends and lose that intimidation factor by finding out why you are intimidated by them. Truthfully they should take that as a compliment.(as long as you dont hold your nose up at them I wouldnt consider you to be a racist.)

No it does not make you racist. Your intimidation is probably stemmed from the stereotypes placed on many black women by the media and etc. Or maybe just from a bad experience from a (not so nice) black woman in the past. You should definitely consider becoming friends with black women this will definitely help you get over your fears. In my experience becoming friends with white women made them more open and less insecure. Many of them have actually told me that I was their first black friend.

No, I don't think it makes you a racist at all. I do, however, feel that such intimidation develops from your mind's fear of the unknown. Meaning, you just don't know much about them (Black women, that is), and/or what you do know about them is based on silly stereotypes. In my opinion, you should take a chance and try to meet some Black women. Maybe your feelings of intimidation will go away.

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.....Petunia, so much anger! Chill out. It will be ok.
As to your question, why are you intimidated by black women?
Have you tried making friends with black women?
I strongly doubt it.
Your solution lies in yourself.
If you are happy with self, there's no room for intimidation, especially from a woman.
Boost your esteem.
Break down all stereotypes and you'll be ok.
Not all black women have attitudes, ya know.
Peace.

Why would you allow anyone to intimidate you regardless of race. The fact you are focusing on the color of their skin shows that you are a bit color stuck. Black women are women just like you we just have different skin, hair and culture.

You're not a racist, just insecure. Why be intimidated by anyone?

No. It just means someone has intimidated you.
There is also a difference between RACISM and RACIAL PRIDE.
You'll note that American Negroes feel there is nothing wrong with them having: BLACK MOVIE AWARDS, BLACK HISTORY MONTH, ETC., ETC., but if the WHITE RACE was to do that for the pride of their race --- YOU'D HEARD THE SCREAMING, RANTING, AND HOWLINGS of RACISM from every rooftop and corner. This is reverse-racism in fact & cannot be denied AS being so !!!! It is supposed to be illegal, but the law would ONLY be enforced against any CAUCASION trying to do the SAME THINGS !!!! It's WRONG & someone should have the backbone to STOP IT !!!!!

No, I would guess that maybe you don't have any black women friends and maybe have ran into some not so nice black women to make you feel that way

Perhaps only if you are intimidated by the colour of her skin. As I do not believe this is the case, therefore you are safe & you do not qualify as a racist. Please do not get too paranoid.
