White boys have the cultural wiggle-room to "play" illiterate anytime they want.

It is a written vernacular, /u/yungsnuggie show up on SRD from time to time and does it fluently....you're just being asinine cause you got caught for being stupid, trying to sound all SJW and ended up sound racist for implying written ebonics is illiterate.

Oooh, someone is pissy. I understand though, people don't like being called out for their ignorance. Try to educate yourself a little bit before you go about making yourself look stupid though.
