African American English is basically the descendant of old southern English. If you listen to old recordings of southerners, especially Southern aristocracy, from before the mid 20th century, they sound alot like how old black people sound. It makes sense tbh. So while white southern English evolved into what it is today, African American English kept its non rhotic nature.
Southern English is still non-rhotic in the South-East region
It doesn't sound non rhotic in Georgia. It is kinda in Louisiana though.
