Although most news stories about serial killers seem to be about white males, blacks are certainly capable of it as well. Some known cases include:
Anthony Sowell: The Cleveland Strangler,
Arohn Kee: Convicted of killing at least 3 in East Harlem
The "zebra killers": a group of Black Muslims who killed 14 people during a six-month period between 1973 and 1974.
See the related link for some additional examples.
There are, of course, many examples from Africa where horrific things have happened in the course of the tribal conflicts.
It is also possible that since most serial killers tend to remain within their own ethnic group and since, as in Arohn Kee's case, crimes against minorities tend to get less attention, that there may be less likelihood of a black serial killer being caught - but that is only a speculation.

How many white serial killers?
Black serial killers are very rare. Most black multiple murders are classified as spree killers, or business related killers I.E rival drug dealers. Serial killers have very specific psycopathies. And blacks in the USA represent between 26&30 percent of the population and less then two percent of classified serial killers. Statistically speaking black serial killers are almost non-existent. It is true that 70-80% of people convicted of crimes in the united states are black. But one has to ask the question, is that a condition of poverty and urban life or psycopathy. In other words, is it their skin color, or their circumstance that drive them to commit their crimes. I'm inclined to think the later. Remember the statistic was based on those convicted of crimes.
