So modern day ask -> axe is appropriate English!?
AAVE was always valid English regardless of whether it can trace any specific pronunciation to the anglo saxons.
Even if "aks" had been a totally new construction you couldn't find in Chaucer, it would sinply be a case of metathesis. And if you're going to complain about a dialect doing metathesis then I better not hear you say wasp instead of væps
we should all speak proto-indoeuropean instead of all these johnny come lately vernaculars
