Nate,

If you respond in the manner that you are proposing, you create consequences. You do realize that those consequences perpetuate the very thing that you are trying to defeat. You do realize that if there was no racism, there would be no "real" black and black people could be black, without fear that they are betraying their peoples' identity. In fact, you could be real and black without forcing yourself to type with slang. Imagine that, you could type in a manner that everyone else could read and you wouldn't be labeled a turncoat. Amazing.
