How so? Be specific.

You said a statement was ironic and then failed to show how that statement was ironic.
Do you need links to your last few posts in this thread?
I think we need to start a dictionary thread for DarrinS.
Because it's not ironic, kinda like that song named "Ironic"...
LOL @ people not knowing situational irony.
LOL @ DarrinS unable to explain what he meant
LOL @ DarrinS probably being too dumb to realize why we're laughing at him
LOL @ DarrinS being afraid of brown people
What was the situational irony?
I thought there was situational irony with someone using a racist statement to prove why THOSE PEOPLE are racists.
<burp>
Except Stringer didn't say that middle-aged white people were racist; he said they were paranoid.
Also, calling a group of people "racist" doesn't make for irony, even if the original poster is making a racist remark. For instance, if I say, "All Asians are racist!", that isn't ironic.
Irony - the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
There was no irony there.
Is that a statement against black people? They are most certainly welcome to attend if they want to.
I don't know about the rallies this Summer, but every month that isn't May-August is freezing to Black people. Fear-mongering + cold ass weather = No Blacks at your rally, even for Obama's rallies. If the Tea Party Express wasn't so SELFISH, they'd have more indoor rallies to accomadate the various ethnicities that do not like cold weather. There is nothing worse than freezing your ass off and hearing people complain that taxes will be raised on folks making 250K+ when your household is making 60K if you're lucky...minorities would explode!
Still, anyone implying that blacks aren't at the rallies because of the people in the rallies are wrong.
Think about statistics. These are anti-tax people. More blacks as a percentage rely on the government than whites. This is a natural spread to have few blacks in such organization, but it isn't because of racism like many like to portray. It's because of lifestyle.
Darrin actually touches on a valid point. Whether situational irony actually is irony, is disputed. It is an irony of events or the interpretation thereof, not of intention.

- Black people rely on government assistance.
- Government asssistance is funded by taxes.
Therefore, Blacks don't go to Tea Party rallies because they don't want lower taxes which would cause them to lose government assistance.
^ WTF???That is more racist than any of my ironically racist posts in this entire thread.
I'm telling you the truth, WC. Black people just don't like being in the cold or around crazy white people. It's not lifestyle, it's a historical fact!
You like intentionally rewording someone's statements to make it sound different, or is your understanding limited?
I said statistically, and yes, some blacks to go.
That part you have right.
I'm talking statistically. Not all.
So you are calling statistics and facts racist?^ WTF???
Yet they will hang around crazy blacks?
Who's the racist?
Please link me to a political rally with a majority of the attendees being crazy, paranoid black Americans. You will notice that there are no such links to videos because no such events occur.
Statistically speaking, it's much easier to scare White Americans any time the word "tax" or "socialism" is used than it is for Black Americans to scare over dumb bull like that. It's got nothing to do with welfare or government assistance gurantees to Blacks, it's because Black folks have better things to worry about. If you find anything to the contrary, let us know.
PS: On second thought, it's prolly easy to find a Black Panther or NAACP march with a few hundred people, but that's a social issue and the crowds are small and not made up of mindless sheep that get their talking points from Fox News. My challenge is for anyone to find a lot of Black people getting freaked out over taxes or socialism or birth certificates, go!
88% of blacks vote Democrat.
So, how do you explain how 88% of whatever black population there is in Wisconsin couldn't find their way to that rally?
88% of blacks that actually vote. You might have a point if you had the percentage of blacks that actually vote in Wisconsin.
Well you just said they actually vote Democrat, so their showing up to a rally doesn't matter terribly much.So, how do you explain how 88% of whatever black population there is in Wisconsin couldn't find their way to that rally?
I've seen others say as much unironically. It's not very uncommon.- Black people rely on government assistance.
- Government asssistance is funded by taxes.
Therefore, Blacks don't go to Tea Party rallies because they don't want lower taxes which would cause them to lose government assistance.
^ WTF???
I was only responding in kind to the term "crazy white people."
What about the riots after the Rodney King incident? Do whites ever do such things?
Are you saying a large population of blacks don't get scare when someone talks about reducing social benefits?Statistically speaking, it's much easier to scare White Americans any time the word "tax" or "socialism" is used than it is for Black Americans to scare over dumb bull like that. It's got nothing to do with welfare or government assistance gurantees to Blacks, it's because Black folks have better things to worry about. If you find anything to the contrary, let us know.
Talking about more taxes on the productive is scary. Why should those who are productive subsidize those who aren't?
For me, it's not a black vs. white issue. It's a culture issue for me. The hard facts are simply that more black people fall into that social class that wants the government handouts.
FYI:
Let's take the racism out of the equation...- Black people rely on government assistance.
- Government asssistance is funded by taxes.
Therefore, Blacks don't go to Tea Party rallies because they don't want lower taxes which would cause them to lose government assistance.
^ WTF???
I'm telling you the truth, WC. Black people just don't like being in the cold or around crazy white people. It's not lifestyle, it's a historical fact!
- Almost half of all Americans rely on some type of government assistance.
- Government assistance is funded by taxes.
- Therefore, people who rely on government assistance don't go to Tea Party rallies because they don't want the lower taxes that would result in the reduction of government assistance.
It's not a racial argument.
Correct. It's a cultural argument, and a sad fact that more blacks fit into that category than others.
so the unemployed can't be tea baggers? Is that what you are saying? Only working people are members of the tea party? nice logic..
so yoni has just informed us that unempoyed people,who receive unemployment benefits,don't go tea potty rallies because they fear their benefits will reduced by simply attending a rally..
solid logic yoni..
