Look, as for AmE, many of these corrupted forms came from AAVE/AAE or Ebonics, whatver they call it. You know that already I guess. There are some that have their roots also in regional Irish dialects, and they have been permeating BrE probably since some king in a dreary castle scratched his behind the wrong way. We don't know that and it's boring, but what we know is that they're inconsistent with a standard English SVO pattern.
Here we're generally talking about the 'egregious violations' of standard English verbal syntax and aspect as we know it.
One guy even had to write a book to encourage the former group to speak proper English.
By his own words, quote,
"We're in a state of emergency. The African American community is suffering from low expectations. 64 percent of African American fourth graders are considered functionally illiterate. African Americans suffer most from social promotion and we score 200 points lower than white and asian students on SATs', unquote.
In a nutshell, the author wants them to have the ability to so-called 'code-switch', in other words, so they can start speaking good English right of the bat after they just spoke their gutter dialect.

Well, the problem is, they CANNOT DO IT. Once you're taught to speak the wrong way, it's extremely difficult to change that bad habit, especially when someone's IQ is basically no bigger than an average shoe size.
It's your choice how you want to be perceived once you open your mouth.
