I am not Amish, so I can only tell you my opinion, and that is "no", I do not believe they hate black people as a race. They adhere to the Bible, and the Bible says "Judge not..."
Since you gave no context for your question, I can only guess at what you're thinking and why. I assume you ask this because you don't see any black Amish or mongrelized half-black Amish, etcetera. The Bible says that God created the races and that man should not screw with that; in other words, keep it in your own race.

The Amish, Mennonites and Quakers as a group would generally not hate anyone. They might be hyper-suspicious of people, but in many instances, they live their lives without the comforts and technology that WE take for granted. Imagine growing up in a rural area where everyone was purple and built barns as a community without power tools, TV or microwave ovens..... then one day this green guy comes along with TV, electricity and a car... this is unlike anything you've seen, so you might be a little uncertain at first? Sorry for the rambling analogy.

I don't know! I know you won't get an honest answer from an Amish person online as they are not into modernization, so...

I don't know if you could actually ask one in person as they don't go outside their "colony" for anything, so much luck to you in finding an honest answer from an Amish person!

i dont think so, the amish mostly keep to themselves though. i can imagine how strange and corrupt everyone seems outside their communities, especially considering how old fashioned they are, but id imagine they are some of the last to judge

No. They probably would just dislike a person for who they were, not because of their color.

But that's anyone who has a fair and open heart...
