Why is it that black Americans seem to be exempt from regional accents?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) July 30th, 2008 from iPhone

With the exception of Cajun country black America generally speaks the same, whether from Boston, New York, Minnesota, Mississippi or Baltimore. I’ve heard other minority groups such as Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans speak with regional accents (when English was the primary language in the home). What’s the dope?
