Want to hear a funny story regarding this topic...Yes, you say? OK.
I was shopping one day at City Market and after checking out a black guy was walking in while one was walking out right in front of me. As you noted, there are not a lot of black people in Durango.
They stopped and stared at each other for a second like they were long lost friends who haven't seen each other in years. Shook hands and hugged. Turns out they didn't even know each other and never met before. They were both just so surprised to see another brother in Durango.
If I had to guess the lack of black people in Durango has something to do with lack of entertainment outside of skiing, hiking, fly fishing, mountain biking and such and the fact you literally dodge 200lb mule deer in your yard and when you walk or ride on a daily basis along with the occasional bear and mountain lion.
This is almost a daily sight when leaving for work in the morning:
