Me when I manage to decipher his word salad:

Alright. I'm Black and I have to say this scene does make me laugh, albeit I don't know how to feel about it.

I'm white, and I think what makes it funny, like most of the movie, is the absurdism of it. It only works by having an old white lady being the one who understands black slang

That old white lady was the actress who played June Cleaver of "Leave It To Beaver" - a 50s(?) b&w white-bread conservative-family-values-americana TV show

That was the biggest part of the gag.

I know why it's funny. The joke is extremely obvious, but it's like laughing at Cartman being racist in South Park. The show is hilarious and I feel "bad" at laughing at some jokes. That's all.
