Mid-thirty-ish black woman speaking:
"... writing _out you_ a slip"
different from standard
"... writing _you out_ a slip"
but like BE
"... thinking _about me_ a mojo hand"
"... eating _on me_ a hamburger"
which have no standard equivalents
"... *thinking _me/you/him/etc. about_ a mojo hand"
"... *eating _me/you/him/etc. on_ a hamburger"
-Wilson

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
