"AAVE"

[Wilson Gray]

Anybody interested in "AAVE" but lacking easy access to a sufficient
number of native speakers can gain what amounts to such access on line
by going to the adultswim.com site, then looking under Comedy and
selecting The Boondocks. I should note that, if you are disturbed by
the use of "nigger" in "AAVE," then avoid this animated, heavily
anime-influenced 'toon at *all* costs! Since there's no particular
continuity, any random episode can be chosen. There is a backstory,
but there's no need to concern yourself with it, if AAVE and its
trivially-parodied real-life use are your only concern, you don't need
the backstory. If you want to know it anyhow, go to boondocks.com.
