Cause black men have been emasculated in their homes for centuries and the hypermasculinity is a way to maintain social standing.

Its a little bit of this answer

So you have to understand the history behind masculinity and race to really understand the narrative...
Africans have always been portrayed as hypersexual by western culture, especially when it come to their genitalia

Essentially, 60 years ago you have a time where often depictions of Black people were not to flattering, often depicting black men as goofy, promiscuous, and dominated by their "mammy" like Black wives...

Around the 60s-70s we see the black power movement, and from this we being to see the hyper aggressive black male.

This is the Black Panther militant Black male, one who, instead of passively fighting racism with like of guilt imposed through juxtaposition (Martin Luther King), we see Black who instead wish to actively fight their attackers (Malcom X).

This is often where we here the phrase "Boi" come from, where in which there was a huge stereotype of white cops calling black men "boy", as a way to emasculate them. This was sorta as symbolic for black male, as both the institution of racism both oppressing them economically but also, oppressing their masculinity, which is seen as "monstrous"

However something crazy happen in the 80s-90s... With the rise of feminism slowly coming about, hypersexualized male culture was kinda on the downturn, then suddenly the same black criminals and tough guys who were feared became romanticized through music, and (sorry to say this) White people at this up. Now we have a weird crossroad where some people want blacks to be this hypersexualized race, and are often frequently looking for these more aggressive characteristics.

Wow that is the short version of it.

TLDR? Black people, responding to perceived emasculation, turned to hypermasculinity as a well to rebel. However, eventually this "rebellion", like most counter-cultural things, became rather popular, and black people exist in a America where in which being the toughest, most hypersexual, most ripped black dude, might come with a lot of prestige. I mean look at porn. Look at sports. Look at the idea of just meeting an angry big black dude in a dark alleyway. Even worse, this is now the standard for black people, so even black people will push the standard to be black enough onto people of their own race, even thought the standard of what is black was created mostly by whites...

Wow can't believe I actually cared enough to post this...
