Dogs of the same race all have certain common genes that characterize this race, and their specificities have been artificially strengthened. This is a perfect correlation. There is no such thing in mankind, there is no specific genetic characteristic of black people that 100% of black people have.
Mankind is a very specific case because recently (< 100k years) our global population was down to less than a hundred of people. As a result our gene pool has been greatly narrowed and humans are very similar to each other. Few genetic specificities have appeared since then. As I explained earlier, most of statical biases from one population to the other are related to the fact that initial settlers deprived their descendants of some genes as they only carried a subset of the total genetic pool. Which was then attenuated by the global movements that resulted of conquests, trade, colonization, migrations, etc.
