Most schools don't even offer AP CS. Especially not public schools that primarily serve low-income students (which black people are disproportionately more likely to be). The course/exam is not equally accessible to people across racial demographics, and is, therefore, not a logical metric to measure potential (unless you're maybe looking at percentage of people getting 5s out of the total number of people of that demographic taking it).
