Vernacular doesn't need to belong to a person or even a group of people.
If your problem is with the people who say it and not the word itself, that's a different issue and one that I'm not really interested in debating.
Then why do they call it "African American Vernacular English"?
Who says I can't have two problems?
Is English your second language? I didn't say it can't be associated to a person or group, I said it doesn't need to.
I also didn't say that you can't have more than one problem, I just addressed the one you seemed to be concerned with and defined it as one that I'm not interested in debating.
