Of course gravity is the dominant force in a black hole. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be a black hole!

The key words you missed were "and distances". A very, very short distance away--much less than the diameter of a proton--the force due to gravity from the object will be dwarfed by the electrostatic force due to its charge.

Glad you're here, Physicist, we've had an ongoing debate on a serious subject - what size black hole would have an event horizon that could consume Hillary's thighs?
