Does He or Doesn't He?

Whether "he don't" is acceptable in a particular dialect is a dialect specific issue and should be addressed as a separate question. Whether "he don't" is acceptable in General American English, the answer is no, it is not.

Does not or doesn't grammar?

DON'T (do not) is the negative form of DO while DOESN'T (does not) is the negative form of DOES. The tiny difference is: - Use DOES / DOESN'T if the subject is third-person singular (he, she, it). - Use DO / DON'T everywhere else.
