Most of us black Americans can still understand patois quite easily since the majority of us are descendants of the slaves held on the Caribbean isles. We just choose to speak a somewhat more standard English. It is clearly evident in the way black southerners speak that remnants of Patois exist in the way black Americans speak.

I don't know how many times I've heard southerners speak and there's a similar dialectical parallel. For example, we say things to the effect of 'I tol di gyal seh har fi gimi d wuk' - Southern parallel: I told that girl say you need to gimi suma dat p*ssy'. The verb after noun structure is impossible to ignore when you have an ear for dialect. Good observation.
