HelixDab2,

You’re being willfully blind.

They assume black people are criminals because “FBI crime statistics”.

::sigh:: Most people that aren’t racist are able to understand that black people are more likely to be targeted by law enforcement, and are thus more likely to be arrested, even when they commit crimes at similar or lower rates than non-black people. People that pay attention have also noted that black people are more likely to get jail time, and more amounts of jail time, than while people that commit substantially identical crimes with similar aggravating circumstances. (The effect is reduced at the federal level due to sentencing guidelines, but is still present.)

Assuming every man is a rapist is prejudice and is both morally and practically wrong.

It’s not every man, no. And no one is even claiming that, except incels and incel-adjacent men. On the other hand, almost all rapists are men. Almost all people that commit sexual assault are men. (Of the men that are sexually assaulted, most are, yes, assaulted by other men.) Keeping in mind that >80% of all women have been the target of unwanted sexual attention from a man, how would you expect them to identify and avoid threats?

If you prefer to be in the company of an extremely powerful animal that is likely to maul you to death

My dude, I live in bear country. I see black bears on the reg. They’re easier to run off than raccoons (but not nearly as easy to run off as the deer that ate my spouse’s hostas). The average number of people killed by bears each year in the US is 1.6. That’s it. Not even two people, on average, per year, in a country of 340,000,000 people. So, no, they are not likely to maul you to death.
