Older versions of English speakers pronounced the word ask as "axe".
Africans brought over from their homeland learned to speak it that way, and (denied good education) did not learn the "new" pronounciation as it became more prevelant in America, during the 1700's.
It is at this point in time more of a cultural thing, but that's how it started.
