Millions of Americans shrugged off their fear of the coronavirus this holiday weekend when they flocked to crowded beaches, lakes and restaurants, reported Cable News Network (CNN).

But there is another type of contagion that still keeps some of White America paralyzed: Fear of black men in public spaces, said the CNN report.

This Memorial Day weekend saw the release of two disturbing videos involving black men. One showed a white Minneapolis police officer with his knee on the neck of a black man who was gasping, "I can't breathe." The man later died.

In the second incident, a white woman was walking her dog in New York's Central Park when she got into a dispute with a black man who asked her to leash her pet. A video, shot by the man, shows her vowing to call the police and saying, "I'm going to tell them there's an African American man threatening my life,” the report added.
