I heard a young African American woman say "...You is..."

I know I'm something of a grammar Nazi, but I fail to see any reason why anyone born in the United States in the this or the last century should say "You is"

I guess we still have a long way to go.

I feel for you. A large portion of the population actually causes me physical pain when they speak.
