It's cultural. Best video you can watch on the topic. Southern blacks who flooded the Northern cities were in essence culturally aligned with white redneck crackers who hailed from N. England, Ulster Ireland, and Scottish highlands.
In the late 1800's and early 1900's there was already a multi generational successful black community in the North that was culturally vastly different. In the hey day of Harlem most of the business owners there were from the W. Indies (still a recent slave background) and had a mainline British culture. In 2005 a study found that 90% of black Harvard grads had W. Indie Caribbean ancestry.

I didn’t watch that video, but that black dude could fill out one of my bras.
