Can Americans explain this to me. Why do most blacks still have Southern accent, even if they aren't in the South? I know that the slaves were in the south, but does it mean blacks preserved their accent through decades, basically making it the "black" accent they get from parents? Even living in different states can't iron it out?

Their grandparents migrated north and kept their accent plus they have more isolated communities

the simple answer is they don't.
have you ever heard a southerner say they're going down to the bar to find a chick for a 'sneaky link'?

no, you haven't.

idk honestly
i think it was rare for a long time, i don't know why it's like the default now
there's plenty who don't speak that way though
