African Americans may gesticulate more because we are a very expressive people. When we talk, we use our hands, the pitch of our voices varies and, a lot of the time, our emotions show up on our faces when we talk (either smiling, frowning, angry). People relate the loud talking and wise-cracking to people of a lower socioeconomic background than others, but African Americans speak with emotion.
