I must be missing something here.  I thought it was common knowledge that
there exists a dialect (multiple dialects?) of AAVE that differs phonetically
from General American, Eastern, and Southern as well as in grammar and
vocabulary.  Such dialect(s) is as easily recognizable over a telephone as it
is in person.
