African American English (also called Black English), the V, or Vernacular, was dropped as that implies it's not a real language. "It be like that" comes from there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitual_be and a lot of people, mostly white people, both appropriated it and use it incorrectly.
Sadly, a lot of people appropriated a lot of AAE/Black English online and use it indiscriminately and usually incorrectly, though it being online just makes it easier to do, it definitely happened before the internet (cool is AAE for example).
Racists usually like to come out of the wood work whenever this is brought up and say that it's their right to use whatever they want, harkening back to years of colonialism etc where oppressive powers thought it was their god given right to take from and destroy land, culture etc.
