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
My job gives me access to lots of people's homes. It's kind of true now that I think about it. Not exclusively but certainly more than average.
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

It ain't just on 4chan i see it all the time in various short form skits on reels, yt shorts, etc.
I read the article someone shared and apparently it was a common joke and a recognized thing in black communities before breaking into mainstream
