It's called "ebonics".

We (like you) have regionalized accents and I guess that word came from a southern accent. Most black folks can trace their roots back to the south..

I think a lot of folks that know better still use it when hanging with their tribe.

My accent gets stronger when I'm in my tribe, but I try to correctly say words, albeit with my accent..

like 'howdy' and 'yee haaa' ?

I do say howdy all of the time, but it would sound much different than if you said it.

"Fixin to" is another phrase I use a lot and would sound silly in your accent..

Colloquialisms are one thing. We all use them. Speaking like an illiterate buffoon is another. You expect that from kids but not adults. Better yourself. Educate yourself. Don't a soon that folks don't be laughing thay's tits off at you for speaking like a moron.

No doubt one should be educated enough to converse properly and coherently..

Accents and colloquialisms aside.
