It grows the same as everyone else's, did u ever notice when black men go get a haircut how fast they have to get another one because it grows back so fast, black men don't put as much chemicals in their hair as black women do

so it's really not both men and women, its women putting all those chemicals in their hair trying to get it straight, constantly putting chemicals and heat together, I have naturally curly hair and didn't know until I went natural I have type 3b curls which are very fragile and don't need to be relaxed just blow dried and flat ironed, but deep condition my my hair once a week and wash it twice a week, I wear it natural this is very important, but I get this from my father's side but my mother has damaged her hair terribly from relaxers.

How much does African Americans hair grow in a week?

African American hair grows as fast or slow as anyone else's does. I've seen some black people's hair grow more than an inch a month, and other's grow less than 1/4th inch a month (within the same family too). Hair growth for everyone is on a case by case basis. There is not an all encompassing number.
