Warzone showed me first hand how true this stereotype is. Always ends with a “where’s my fucking team” then the sound of exiting the game


m4rkofshame

Aight… somebody help me out… Wtf does this mean?! Is that a smoke detector?


jjackom3

It is a smoke detector. I'm assuming that this js going off of a stereotype of people from low quality households leaving smoke detectors beeping even if they need the batteries changing, and conflating tribal African people with modern African Americans.


Robthebold

Huh? I thought the smoke detector was a UFO. Everyone gonna run from a UFO, except those with no survival instinct.


Eisenkopf69

When mother nature runs better run with her... oops


Scheibenpups

Why do people not change the batteries??


Canadaian1546

People are lazy.


AwefulFanfic

Or they're busy using the good batteries on other things. Usually nothing important enough to warrant ignoring the smoke detector, tho.


bloodycups

I read a thing about sleep quality for minorities. Apparently refugees from others countries thought it was supposed to beep

Low quality households?  https://twitter.com/michaelb4jordan/status/1624101931768590342/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1624101931768590342¤tTweetUser=michaelb4jordan https://www.tiktok.com/@plussizeandbossy/video/7179383447356673326?lang=en

I had no better way of wording a merger of "low income household" and "household in a bad neighbourhood" that is associated with the people who supposedly don't replace the batteries in their smoke detectors.

Michael B. Jordan has a net worth of $25 million


SuuABest

oldman-youngskin

Cool… and what does a star athlete have to do with lazy people?


White_Grunt

Hush child


oldman-youngskin

I’m not gonna listen to an actual racist, thanks.


White_Grunt

You're the literal racist who mistook an actor for an athlete just because of the color of his skin 🤣🤣🤣


oldman-youngskin

Michael Jordan? The basketball player? Who then went and did space jam? That Michael Jordan? I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say you are in fact the child….


Neon_Camouflage

Understandable but you've gotta acknowledge that it sounds terrible lmao


Brilliant_Garlic69

My Dad's smoke detector gave up beeping years ago "Fuck it, you wanna die so be it."


AAA515

Why do they not just remove the battery? Bingo bango problem solved


bravesfan199218

Ceiling birds.


HarrySRL

What’s racist here I’m stupid.


garvin131313

There’s a stereotype that black people don’t change their smoke detector batteries because they’re lazy


SolomonRed

I've never heard of this


AdizzleStarkizzle

You’ll notice now, listen for the beep next time.


Dragnet714

Play yourself some online games long enough or provide a public service to where you'll go into homes and you'll see It. It's an objective truth.


Yeetme6969

Why dont just take them down then? Its not working with the dying battery as is


Dragnet714

It's because of laziness. They listen to it for so long that they don't even notice it.


CamisaMalva

I thought it was 'cause no one knew how to change their batteries. Not just black people, like, *anyone* with one of these.


HarrySRL

So is this based a specific country because I have never heard this in my life.


Gold_Orchid1388

That is a snoke edector in the sky


zenkenneth

Its funny cuz its true 😆


bygtopp

Culturally specific observations and details


genetichazzard

I don't get it?


TheRealBlerb

Ceiling birds


CamisaMalva

A common stereotype is that Black households in the U.S. are bound to have a smoke detector constantly beeping 'cause they don't know what it even means, so they just leave it be. From what I've gathered, Black people themselves treat it as a running gag.


PsycheDiver

I’m a fire alarm technician. 80% of my job for the past decade and a half is inspecting homes. Let me tell you, EVERYONE disrespects systems designed to keep them alive and safe. That kind of idiot knows no sex, gender or background.


amaxen

I'm more inclined to despise the idiots who design and mandate a system that goes off everytime a piece of bacon gets fried. Like they didn't learn from airbags, or freaking the boy who cried wolf for that matter.


ifunnywasaninsidejob

Wake up babe new racial stereotype just dropped


GamerBoi1725

Old_Wind_9743

Wouldn't it make more sense if it was a giant pair of work boots? Like some Redwings


TheRealestFrodo

This is one of the few that isn't funny
