Almost all, like 95%, of blacks in the US sound obviously black. But is seems like that it is 50/50 in the UK. It can be reasonably explained that blacks in the US are significant enough in numbers that they form their own enclaves that reinforce this speech pattern. But I don't think those enclaves exist in the UK.
Examples:
Black British woman that sounds black
Black British woman that does not sound black
