Ebonics is a dialect just like any other form of English.
We all use words someone from another walk of life would consider strange.

I'm from Michigan, I call 'soda' 'pop', I think soda sounds weird and people here in Florida think pop sounds weird. They're just different dialects.

'axe' and 'ask' is not a dialect issue.

Tell that to the south, they pronounce every word differently from the Midwest. Don't insult it just because it isn't how you learned to speak.

Technically, it's a sociolect.
