Unsurprisingly, I've got a lot of folks who haven't heard about these instances of antiblackness from dansup. This is how I know most fedi users in general either aren't connected to Black users or don't listen to the ones they are connected to, since this is something we have spoken about before. This is a systemic problem.
Anyway, here's a post from WP (AKA a White Person) discussing several of his posts: https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/113822469270748843
And here's a thread going into more depth about AAVE, with links to contextualize and explain why his consistent appropriation of it is indeed antiblack:

Edit: not because of anything anyone said, but just my own reflections-I recognize that everybody doesn't know about everything. This is part of the way the fedi works, everyone ain't connected to everyone else and that's okay. However, white folks hearing about racism and expressing surprise and/or shock is not a neutral event but a part of how white supremacy works. Y'all are sheltered by design, not happenstance. So while I am not specifically criticizing the people who came into my mentions asking for more info, I am noting that I am aware that they are part of a larger system of whiteness. Do with that info what you will.
