Black holes in the galaxies center tend to only make up a tiny fraction of the whole mass. It's not like our solar system where most mass is caught up in the central body.
The stars orbit the galaxies center not because of the black hole, but mostly due to the mass of all the other stars also swirling around the galaxy. Which from the perspective of a single star is pretty much the same as if all those other suns were part of the black hole.
