Honestly, I've seen people (not just white people) use terms from AAVE so... I think? And Black people around 'em wouldn't care (I assume; they didn't seem to express any visible reaction)... I think?

It's hard to tell. You may be over-thinking it.

A lot of AAVE has also gone into Internet meme culture, don't forget, so there's that to consider.

i pick up a little from my friends here and there but i can't imagine doing lines and lines in the dialect without it being deliberate and terrible
