First, be sure it is a solid color, with no contrasting stains or grease spots. These show up as stains in the black.
If the fabric has a contrasting print or has dye stains, you can try RIT "color remover", available at many large supermarkets, to remove the excess color and make your garment a more unified undertone (does not need to be white) before dyeing. Follow instructions on envelope. Color remover requires boiling water, so be sure you have a fabric which will not shrink.
Dyes like Rit and Tintex are readily available. I would use a lot more than they recommend, but make sure you dissolve the powder well or use the preliquified kind in a bottle. Or you can buy aniline dyes which are stronger.
Wet your item and make sure you submerge it in your dye completely, and stir to distribute the dye through the fabric. Stir a lot! And make sure to keep stirring so that the dye doesn't take unevenly. Keep the temperature at a good simmer. Use some salt in the water to help the dye distribute and absorb evenly - maybe a half cup of salt in a large stockpot of dye water.
Don't bother trying to dye anything black in the washing machine. It won't be hot enough, and the item will not come out black.
