I don’t believe there is a genetic disposition to these diseases. The diseases you mentioned are lifestyle-influenced conditions. I’d guess that because black people are disproportionately represented in lower-income brackets, lack of access to doctors and health education may have something to do with it. In addition, stress is a big health risk that may predispose people to certain diseases (such as hypertension). And black people face a lot of stress directly and indirectly related to racism.
