Hi CJ,
Your questions rest on a false assumption. In fact, black holes are not the most destructive force in the universe. In fact, they aren't especially violent or dangerous, in and of themselves.
For example, if you replaced the sun with a black hole of the same mass, the earth would keep orbiting around just as it does today. (Of course, the earth would go dark and begin cooling 8 minutes later...)
Black holes tend to have very strong gravitational fields due to their high mass concentrations, but they aren't magical vacuum cleaners that drag distant objects helplessly to their demise.
So that's good!
