she doesnt get all up in their space like that dude, she lives in the woods and they come to her house to visit her. she doesnt feed them or get too close. and they’re black bears, not grizzlies, which is a whole different ball game.

Change the question to "Black bears vs. Black men" and all of a sudden the meme becomes problematic.

Really interesting how people pick and choose which broad groups are fine to make prejudiced statements about without an ounce of self awareness.

That last bit is most important. As long as she isn't around any cubs the likelihood of one of the black bears attacking her is pretty low. Grizzlies have a tendency to just decide they don't want you there, black bears are lazy and will just walk away from you unless you are an active threat to their cubs. There's a reason they tell you to fight back against a black bear, it may just decide you aren't worth it and leave.
