Neighborhoods are not black or any color. Neighborhoods are locations with houses that are filled with people.

At whose expense?

...you're not one of those, are you :/

No, not at all, I just want to know what the joke was implying?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

i think of it as sort of a satirical thought from the perspective of a person who grew up in a white neighborhood and is seeing minorities grow in the country.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely agree with this.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

That was a great point.

Also, I'm black. Just to clarify.

Sure, if you strictly use the dictionary entry (which I don't blame you for; I'm sure most people can tell by now that I am a literalist). But the use of "neighborhood" to describe the community, people, and other non-literal aspects of the neighborhood is used commonly enough that one cannot ignore the connotations or second meanings of this, or of any word. On a second, literal note, if a neighborhood was entirely black in color (not race.. the neighborhood itself), would you consider it to be a "black neighborhood?"

This was a joking post. Satirical in nature.

And the reason we have to racially classify neighborhoods like a bunch of apartheid fascists is...?

You need to work on your comic technique. You're no Andy Kauffman.

Satire isn't recognized by everyone.

by Anonymous 10 years ago

Especially when it isn't obviously clear.

How often is satire obviously clear? it can be a subtle art form

by Anonymous 10 years ago

Don't forget that satire also needs context. You sound a little smarmy when you point out that it's not recognized by everyone. Without context, how does anyone know you're satirizing something? Are you referring to something specific that happened recently? Or an individual? Satire needs that mocking element...what exactly are you satirizing?

I'm mocking people who see neighborhoods with a minority of minorities as having a majority or minorities. This is a pretty without-context post though. I wish I could repost it to make the satire a bit more obvious.

Don't we all. Otherwise people just assume you're a racist bastard. The Internet is a dangerous place for satirists and sarcy people
