    For whatever reason, white people are currently scared of black people. Not fear in a physical sense, although that does exist when walking by a group of young black men, but fear nonetheless.

    Fear of society reprisal and shunning for anything confrontational with a black person. Fear of arrest, if defending oneself from a verbal or physical attack from a black person. Fear of career suicide, if even questioning management about the promotion or qualifications of a black person or current corporate culture.

    How in the hell did we get to this point?

      Overreaction to racial issues in general.

        Media-driven?

          Feels more patronizing than scared to me.

              Pretty simple, really. The internet... rather, the instant-sharing of information. This has resulted in:

              • an oversharing of news (why do I care about what happens in a small town in another state?)
              • ease of sharing videos, including those without context
              • overreacting (i.e., firing someone) under the idea that a vague scary cultural monster will attack you if you don't immediately sacrifice someone in hopes to avoid bad press

                I'm sure I could speak for others, but personally I'm not afraid of anything in your original post, unless I was out at night downtown somewhere, but skin color wouldn't play much of a factor in that anyway

                  Whites are not directly afraid of black people, except maybe in the proverbial alley in the middle of the night. But they are terrified of the black privilege of being able to cancel a white person for racial offenses real or imagined. This privilege has been carefully and systematically installed by progressive white people who have always been just sure that they, personally, will always be protected by a force field of their own virtue signalling. To a large degree, they are right, but not completely. But the under the table handshake, is that those black people, privileged in this certain way, will always vote the progressives into power.

                  Education is extremely important.
