Verbal Irony: The American Dream
It is ironic that America is always propelled as the land of opportunity and freedom, yet this was not, and still is not, the case for African Americans. It seems that this concept is only exclusive to white people in America and does not extend to many people of color.
Dramatic irony: Enforcement Act
