AAVE is coherent to those that are raised with it. As are other dialects to their communities and speakers. So there is your privilege. That is a huge stretch though, I have never heard of anyone telling a person "Quit speaking like a mid-western news reporter, I can't understand you!". However, that does get said to someone who speaks AAVE. Privileged would imply that they can't speak that way, when that is just not the case. --- I am a senior software engineer.
