I'm not scared of anyone.

The kind of fear I would have would not be racial, however the ones in groups that are up to no good is frigtening. When you are being addressed, better watch out! Just recently I was waiting for the dog groomer to arrive and this big Caucasion woman started yelling at me three times the "B" word. Then along came her buddies, yelling obsenities and told me to go back to Asia. They started circling me and I jumped in my car with the dogs. They left. It's crazy that they would try to get a senior upset.

No.
Its not the race that makes someone "scary", its how they portray themselves. If i saw a black person standing in a dark ally with a switch blade, of course I'm going to be scared out of my mind and run away, but I would be just as afraid if that person was white, asian...anything. Its not what color the person is, it is their personality.
I was talking to a black friend of mine about this before...she was saying how she read somewhere that people tend to stick with people that are like them. For example, she was saying how if you are walking and theres a group of black people on one side, and a group of white people on the other side, you would unconsciously walk closer to the white people if you were white, and closer to the black people if you were black. I don't really think about it so i can't say if thats true for me or not, but its an interesting thing to think about. I think it just has to do with who we ourselves feel more accepted by. Someone who grows up in a city where there are tons of different kinds of people would get less anxious around people of different races because they have grown up in that type of environment and feel more accepted.
True some people are ignorant and fear black people, and other people not of their race, but if you feel like people are afraid of you, they are probably just nervous that you might not accept or you might think differently of them. This could be why people tend to marry inside their own race, because they feel more accepted. All in all though, people are people, and we should not be afraid of someone because of their color. Its a persons character that matters the most.
Sorry i ramble :)

I used to be afraid of how I would act around them, always making sure that I didn't give the wrong look or say thwr rong thing. Then I learned that part of accepting other races is realizing that they are different but that doesn't change the way that you should react to them. I am not afraid of white people or latino people, so why should I be afraid of black people.

In certain situations. I know better than to go into an all black area (unless I have a black escort) without a damn good and obvious reason. They usually get upset about it and it makes cops suspicious. But generally no.

No, not unless they're actually a threat but then again if anyone from any race was a threat I'd be scared of the INDIVIDUAL who was the threat.

You should be happy if you are black and people fear you. In my experience humans are a retarded species. The less you have around you the safer you are. The more imposing and fearful you appear to be for them...the safer you will be because idiots won't come up to you and bother you with irrelevant crap. That being said I love being black.

I am sometimes a little bit if they seem to have evil intentions. I guess I'm that way with all people though.

There is no reason for white people, or any people, to be scared of black people. Even when we gather in large groups, we dont mean harm unless you start something first. If there's ignorant groups out there who'd attack you for no reason and you live in a bad area, then sure, scare the hairs off your head. But in general... Hell no. There is no reason to fear us. Or anyone.
