White Jews are mostly descended from a European tribe called Khazar. These people had borne the oppression of first the Christians then the Muslims. So when they decided to build themselves up, they chose a religion similar to their enemies, but not the same. And that was Judaism.
Black Jews are mostly direct descendants of the Israelites, or Africans who at some stage converted to Judaism.
