The Irony of The American Dream - Kendall Sampson
This photograph is a pure example of irony caught in the natural world. It shows a drastic contrast between how different people live in America. The top of the photo shows how many people desire to live which is known as the American Dream, and the bottom half of the picture shows how many Americans actually live. There is a contrast of happiness, wealth, and flourishment vs. depression, poverty, and struggle. I think it speaks volumes because it shows how tone deaf some views of America are and how the country can sugar coat the reality of American citizen's well-being. While white families were living in mint conditions and being prioritized by society, black families were being shoved down and stepped on by white people and faced with racist societal standards that forced them into poor conditions.
