I don't know about all this black talk vs. white talk stuff. I have heard
this phrase mainly from white males. I have never heard it in the context
of an apology though. Every time I've ever heard it, it has been in a
sexual\dating context. As in: "I don't want to date her because I don't
find her attractive." reply: "Oh, but man, it's all good." In my
experience, this is used often by white males who are labeled, in this
area at least, as "hicks" or "rednecks."
