I had black roommates for a couple years, good dudes too. Blacks have their own dialect, called Black or African-American English (AAE). Also known as Jive. Many, but not all, can switch between the two at will. They'd talk like a white person for me, but with their buds it was as incomprehensible to me as cajun patois.

Very informative! Thank you for clarifying, AM! Should I go watch the entire movie now? I'll be thinking about you the entire time if I do. It's AmericanMuskrat the movie!

Airplane! is an amazing movie, definitely worth a watch.
