Being a woman and raising a daughter there are specific tactical self-defense techniques that I learned and taught my daughter. Stride tall, don't make eye contact, cross the street with confidence (i.e. don't look afraid - look as if you have a purpose for doing so), carry your keys pointed out between your fingers to use as a weapon, walk in the street not on the sidewalk so more eyes can witness your movements.
When all else fails and your stalker continues to follow you, directly challenge your stalker loudly and if they don't retreat and you attack.
Stand your ground laws legitimize killing those who stalk if you defend yourself.
My daughter or I certainly have something to fear if a man of any color follows us. A black person certainly has something to fear from a white person following.
