I'm black, I go to an HBCU and many of my peers use the word "mines" I do not. It is improper english and it is pure laziness. Just like saying "we was, we be, etc." Yes, black people down here in the south use it often, but white people do too. it's not an ethnicity issue, it's an education issue.
