Vernaculars of the formerly enslaved and oft’ parodied

I ask where will the car be placed, and where will we visit him. They let me drive the car home. But not before the officer says to my mini question session. You speak really well

I assume he means this in the way of a caveman discovering fire

He asked to check my vehicle to make sure nothing has been stashed away without my knowledge

I assume he means this in the way of a cop who plants things

I consent, anxious to secure this transaction to leave this area

They find nothing, plant nothing

Waste not want not

Im allowed to drive the car home

I speak really well

Did he mean for a black person???????????????????????????
