How can a black hole have gravity if gravity propagates out at the speed of light?

If nothing can escape a black hole, not even light, then how can it's gravity escape the black hole and pull objects around it? Aren't there gravitational waves and gravitons, (which haven't ever been detected but have been theorized to exist), which propagate away from a massive object? How could these gravitational waves or gravitons escape a black hole?
