This is likely a peculiarity of early American black culture rather than representative of the norm for how the culture of subsaharan african descent people develops in general. In the carribean at the same time period having children out of wedlock was the norm such that birth registries would almost entirely say "illegitimate" next to the baby's name aside from babies born to white parents. And medieval arab travellers reported when travelling among subsaharan africans that noone knew who their father was.

@alastairthegreat2887 arabs didn't write anything like that in their reports of european crusaders or other peoples they encountered, so it's not like they called everyone people who don't know their own father, they only reported this as common among subsaharan africans.

@TheHouseeeee You're right, they do distinguish between different types of subsaharan africans. The quote I'm thinking of is about the neighbors of the bujja , where bujja was how arabs referred to people from the north of habesh which corresponds to the northern parts of ethiopia and eritrea. It says "there is no marriage among them; the child does not know his father, and they eat people-but God knows best." Mutahhar ibn Tahir-al-Maqdisi, Al-Muqaddasi (fl. 966), Kitab al-Bad' wah-tarikh, vol.4 given that he's not talking about bujja but different people neighbouring bujja I assume he's talking about non-habesha jarir people i.e. bantu or nilotes
