Idk of this is satire of the meme on 4chan but I recently saw that there’s a meme about black people not changing the battery on their fire alarms. I’m not sure why it was specifically black people though
It doesn’t feel terribly surprising that preventative care for uncommon emergencies would be less common or considered less important in a culture shaped by externally created and enforced poverty
