If you have a toyhouse account (or you can just view the page from the link even if you dont have one) I created a thread on here callled AAVE is Not TikTok Slang, it goes over how AAVE has been co'oped online and a bunch of resources for learning about AAVE.
CreatingBlackCharacters also has a great post about AAVE if you should check out if your reading this and actually want to know more about AAVE, it IS a legitimate dialect, its existed for an incredibly long time, i grew up using it, i grew up hearing nearly every other Black person around me use it. Ive seen entire posts talking about words to hate and majority of them are always AAVE words, Woke is a good example of an AAVE word with a genuinely good meaning being completely decimated by white people online, now its either used by racists to call anything diverse bad or its used as a joke, its extremely frustrating how many people just do not take AAVE seriously. If you know what AAVE is and you still mock it, deny its legitimacy as a dialect or think its "cringe", that is infact, racist.
It is not bad or improper English, its not uneducated, its not gen-z or tiktok or internet slang or brainrot, it is a dialect used by Black Americans and Canadians that deserves just as much respect as any other language, please stop decimating our dialect.
