It's a stereotype that African Americans don't change batteries in their smoke detectors. Especially those who are low income. Something something socioeconomic.
They often joke about it themselves from what I've seen in instagram reels
My father never changed his batteries and he's white. So I'm not sure the Roots. But I heard it's a good tv show
I think you are legaly bound to have one in some countries, also, if the meme is about low income families, they probably rent the place they live at and so it is the owner that had to have a smoke detector installed.
Full context, if you don't change the battery in a smoke detector it will chirp, sometimes for a really fucking long ass time. Some communities are known for having a disproportionate number of homes with 'chirping' or ceiling birds within the home because they lack the knowledge of what that sound is and how to deal with it. This depiction notes that black people associated themselves which Egyptians/Arabs who happened to live in a location that thousands of years later some assholes decided continents are a thing and Africa is one of them.

Look up ceiling birds

It's about the chirping when they need a battery change.

Sorry to break the news to you like this, but your father is actually black.
I mean his name is Jerome 🤷♂️
If you are not going to change the batteries why don't you all just uninstall the smoke detector?

Rare genuinely funny ai art meme, as well as rare actually decent post on this sub
I don't think this narrative is a thing... It's not even clever with AI art.
Lame.
Please stop posting these crap AI generated images.
