I am an African-American woman and correctly pronounce words like ‘ask’ and those ‘th’ words you are referring to. From my point of view, the reasons some African Americans mispronounce those words may be due to speaking too rapidly. Or it could be due to a particular person’s accent. People pronounce words differently in certain areas of the country. Also, it may depend on how a person’s family members traditionally speak. When you grow up hearing certain words pronounced (or mispronounced) it’s difficult to condition your speech to pronounce those words differently than how you are used to hearing and saying them.
