I know a lot of African Americans who own dogs as pets and are not afraid of them. The answers you have received all seem plausible (as far as generalizations go). I've often wondered, though, if the fear of dogs, at least partially, stems from slavery, when dogs were used in the fields to intimidate and hunt runaway slaves. Sometimes the fear gets passed down through the generations, but the original reason for the fear is lost.
