Oh no not at all, just mentioning it so you’re aware is all. Edit: I figured it worth mentioning because it was alt-right tier stuff. If it were me, I’d want to know if I were unintentionally using something like that. Hence fyi.
I'm from the south and some of us just talk like that. Is it supposed to be mocking a race instead of just poor folks from Appalachia?
I think it is mocking a certain conspiracy theory (black Israelites??) by people who think all black people were the ancient Egyptians. "We waz kangs/ we were kings" is the phrase.
Since it involves black people, it is obviously used by alt right alt hist dudes to discredit and mock all black people.
