I would not use that sort of language in a friendly setting because it was designed for attack.
Attack? That's interesting. I thought for you it was all warm and endearing and joyful and all.
You don't have to tell me about the ways black people, and others, use dialect in comradely ways among themselves. I need no education on that score
You are not in that social context here. (And, incidentally, you are not a black person.) You said this, in this forum, in writing and not informal, relaxed personal banter, on SI. In this context, everyone who read it recognized it as a mocking racist parody:

You can write your obfuscatory little essays from here on, they won't transform those racist posts, or change your cruel, smug, taunting, gloating posts to Poet, the mother of an adopted child who talked about a stage in her adopted daughter's life when she would cry because she was from a far away land and knew nothing of it, or of her biological family, and looked very different from all her friends and family. And it had broken Poet's heart, and you responded by forging a fairy tale and wielding it sadistically. |
