All black bears are wimps until they aren't. Then you've got a problem on your hands and hopefully, you have a gun. Black bears might be weenies compared to grizzlies but they are more than enough for any human being.
It's the Nat. Park itself that dubbed them "wimpy," and that was in comparison to Black Bears elsewhere, because they have never attacked anyone here. Numerous encounters on trails and in campgrounds but for whatever reason they have, so far, always turned tail and run.
Here is something that is probably much more likely to hurt someone around here, although, again so far, they never have injured anyone.
