Part of it might be they were attracted by Islamic protests of white supremacy. There's and interesting article on the subject from the Harvard School of Divinity: https://rpl.hds.harvard.edu/religion-context/case-studies/minority-america/african-american-muslims

They somehow forget Muslims enslaved Africans, and in South Sudan in the 2010's, the Muslim (lighter-skinned) Janjaweed murdered the (dark-skinned) black Christian Sudanese because they were black Christians.(Little Louie FarrA**CLOWN visited the Christian prisoners and literally told them they deserved their murder and oppression because they were "infidels", meaning non-Muslims.)

Some black Americans become Muslims, some Baptists, some Catholics, some Jewish (remember Sammy Davis Jr?), and many other faiths as well.
It's wrong to associate with any one group of people with a specific religion.

Probably they're realising the truth. Islam brings about a feeling of justice and empowerment.

they don't. they are christian or baptist mostly. if you find a black muslim it's probably because they've been to prison. islam is big there among black men.
i wonder if that's the same for black women?

because Islam is associated with strong masculinity unlike other religions
Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson are as masculine as you can get

  In Islam, people are seperated in 2 ways
  
  Muslims, and Non-Muslims

  Every religion differentiates between believers and non-believers. But the entire world is focused on the distinction made by Islam only. Go figure ;), I guess everyone knows what the truth is then even if they deny it.
