Why do some black folks and indeed a few white folks say 'AKS instead of the proper word 'ASK'?
No malice in this questions people, I just want to know why? lol
Do you say AKS or ASK?

Miila...The answer to your question is really simple, because I hear more black people saying, AKS/AXE than I do white people.

I say 'ask'. The whole thing bugs me too. Haywood Banks wrote a funny song about that called Me and Annie Gonna Axe Her Mother. Look it up, it's hilarious.

I think they learned to say it that way when they learned to talk, and it has become a habit that stuck. Now it's lazy English. Probably most people who say it that way aren't even aware they are saying it wrong. Like people who say nuculer, instead of nuclear. Which really bugs me, esp when news people, scientists and Goerge Bush say it wrong. Damn it, get it right!
