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.
