Y'all predates black ebonic shit by a LOT. It also fulfills a necessary linguistic hole left after the move from middle english to modern english where the 2nd person plural and the 2nd person singular merged. The informal 2nd person plural "thou" was dropped to make way for the formal version and the conjugation suffered because of it. There is an alternative practiced in NE north america: "Youse" which I hear often in the great lakes dialects and rural western Canada, but I prefer Y'all and use it myself. Y'all also has roots in england, so there's that.
Yeah but Youse is from the North, aka the good guys. So its just a funny accent. Y'all is from the South, aka the retarded inbred racists, so it was incredibly bad until black culture become popular (of which half of their culture is just Southern shit but worse) and with it, speaking like them.

Both are corruptions.
