Why does my dog attack only black men?

I got my dog from an amish family in Lancaster, PA when she was 2 years old. She is normally extremely docile and friendly to people, but whenever we are near a black man, she starts growling and gets ready to attack. It’s very embarrassing when there are a lot of white people, and then one black man, and she goes ballistic. How can I train her to stop wanting to kill black men?

She was probably not introduced to any black people during her socialization phase.
As hard and perhaps embarrassing as it may be you should probably approach a few black people , explain the situation that the dog has never seen a black person and now goes crazy when it does and see if you can start walking your dog near them so that you can make the corrections needed to stop this behavior.
Good Luck and God Bless
