Gravity is faster than light.

And that's why light cannot escape a Black Hole. Nevertheless Electo-magnetism stomps gravity.

Light can not escape the black hole because time has slowed down from the observer's point of view.

-- Nevertheless Electo-magnetism stomps gravity. --

Light is a form of electro-magnetic energy, and light is bent by gravity; and can even be trapped by gravity. So, between the two forces, gravity and electromagnetism, which stomps the other depends on the location.
