Because black people have a shared history and experience of oppression and marginalization by America's white-dominated society. This fosters a kind of community and solidarity that white people have trouble understanding (since white Americans are far more invested in the ideology of individualism). Furthermore, black people (and other non-white people for that matter) aren't exactly enamored with the white Protestant moralizing against "the culture of poverty", etc. And the heavy Southern flavor of white conservatism doesn't help either.
All of this should be obvious but considering the makeup of this forum...
