They're trying to be folksy like we're all at a hoedown together, despite the fact I have not and likely will never attend a hoedown, nor will they. But being stuffy and academic in language is reactionary because it doesn't sound like black people.

Now, to express my thoughts, the problem is not that AAVE is being used in politics, but that people are using this technique to act like they're close to me when neither of us talk that way natively. And this style distances black people from these groups because they see someone imitating them for clout But using black culture to gain some sort of realness and down-home style while still keeping out black people is part and parcel of american society.
