I have a poor grasp on the details around this shift, but likely due to society responding to increasing crime rates (which were in turn... due to lead or something?). Stuff like anti-drug laws, the Broken Windows policy and (ironically) the Biden Crime Law likely contributed.
This is what I thought for a long time but then I read some stuff that made a good argument that fatherlessness is the actual problem; that low income actually wasn't strongly correlated with crime in black communities as much as is claimed, which really surprised me.
