I'm assuming you're referring to when they give a white person handshake? In that case, it may just be that they're used to giving black person handshakes which don't really require a firm wrist.
If so, that's just a cultural thing. Personally I've never understood the whole "I'm going to try and break your hand" shake. A super aggressive handshake literally tells me nothing about you as a person except the fact that you have strong hands.

I agree, I hate the hand crushers. It's like they have something to prove. What it tells me is, I MUST CRUSH YOUR HAND TO IMPRESS YOU. I usually roll my eyes.
I guess I'm talking about when they've shaken my hand. It's like they hold it out limp, like "kiss the ring" style. My wife and I watched the Butler last weekend, and there's a scene in it where a guy holds his hand out like that to shake with another black guy. And this took place in the 60's, so if they were being "true to the period" it's been around for awhile. I'm guessing it's just a thing.
