Black Americans are a lot more religious than the rest of the U.S. public (for instance, nearly 20% more black people say that “religion is very important to them” relative to the general population). Depending on how people grew up (there’s a good report on black Catholics in the link too), they could pick up a lot of conservative views.
Past that, anyone is susceptible to the allure of simple answers to complicated questions.
