Why do black people ignore fire alarms?

[RybenZ999]

This is such an infamous trend it has become a meme of sorts even in normie circles. Is there a reason why they ignore the smoke detector going off?

When you start tuning out gunshots in your hood to keep sane, yet another occasional loud shrill doesn't register too much.

I've heard it theorized that the chirp reminds them of the squeak of basketball sneakers on the court, resulting in a soothing effect.

You don't need a theory is that black people in general will never live in a living situation where they are responsible for the maintenance of their own fire alarm it is the responsibility of the landlord. That's Factor number one factor number two is they live in such squaller in these low-income situations or have multiple subletters to the degree of where if they were to ever let the landlord into the apartment they would be evicted by directly violating their lease. So the mentality goes oh that beeping that's not my problem that's the landlords oh the landlord I can never let him into this unit cuz he'll evict me it's a circular connotation it's literally the Beavis and Butthead why are they on TV because they're famous why are they famous because they're on TV

Despite representing 13% of the population, African Americans account for an estimated 24% of home fire deaths

They don't know that the beep means the battery needs to be replaced

 

[mindlessobserver]

Chirp.

 

[Not A Cat Person]

Chirp!

 

[McMitch]

They don't know that the beep means the battery needs to be replaced

I’ll always hold that that is an excuse, that they’re knowingly willfully negligent.

 

[The Last Stand]

They're so loud, I could hear them OUTSIDE the house.

Your rare mutation that makes you so thirsty for old white women also enables you to notice the chirp.

That's Factor number one factor number two is they live in such smaller in these low-income situations or have multiple subletters to the degree of where if they were to ever let the landlord into the apartment they would be evicted by directly violating their lease. So the mentality goes oh that beeping that's not my problem that's the landlords oh the landlord I can never let him into this unit cuz he'll evict me it's a circular connotation it's literally the Beavis and Butthead why are they on TV because they're famous why are they famous because they're on TV

I feel like this is the correct answer. There's no way a nigger's going to go out and buy a 9v battery for a smoke detector in a house they're renting. They'd rather put up with the chirping than go and spend their money on a battery for their landlord's smoke detector and they're not going to call up a landlord about it because of reasons you mention.

Agreed. The smoke alarm chirps are loud too.

edit: That may be part of it. Blacks are super fucking loud. They're desensitized.

No punk ass chemical reaction is telling a real nigga what to do.

Jokes aside I strongly suspect its rooted in the general "doing shit that even slightly improves my own quality of life/future prospects is gayass white shit for sellout coons" mindset among groids who have been so buck broken in the ghetto crab bucket that they feel genuine shame and embarrassment at the idea their fellow nigs might catch them doing basic household maintenance in their own damn household.

One can speculate the source of this idiocy, but my reading is that its the natural consequence of the overt abandonment by media and institutions of holding blacks as a collective or individuals to any standard or social expectation whatsoever after the civil rights era and refusing to even hint at judging them for doing stupid or evil shit while continuing to happily judge and critique the rest of the population, thus leaving the "soft" enforcement of basic civilisation beyond criminal matters to the blacks themselves right about the time when crack hit the streets, resulting in the niggers we know today.

This would also explain why direct immigrants from africa are notably less niggerish given how they were still subject to societal expectations back where they came from and thus you need a generation or two for their descendants to nig out like the rest

 

[nuh uh]

Because they’re stupid.

Isn’t more to it than that, sorry.
