Black fuck-up kills white people on TV

[Thumpalumpacus]

I thought it was blatantly obvious to be fair.

"Apparently" and "people that had nothing to do with it" really weren't giveaways?

I mean c'mon. "I say us white people"... dense as a rock if you can't see the sarcasm there to be honest.

I wouldn't call it blatantly obvious, especially when I've read plenty of posts that appear to be sarcastic but are not. I was pretty sure it was, but I could see how someone would be hesitant of jumping to that conclusion when it wasn't made explicit.  If I only had a dollar for every time I misinterpreted the tone of someone's post.  

Sarcasm is also especially hard to detect when people are talking about race, because people say the dumbest shit in all seriuosness when they approach that subject.  Just look at the OP.  Even when you know it's sarcasm, it's still the type of thing you would hear from an 11 year-old.

It seemed obvious to me, but then I'm prone to concede the benefit of the doubt. Like Naps, there were keywords I focused in on that clued me into the sarcasm, but the, as a writer, I'm comfortable parsing text without the benefit of body language, vocal tone, and other non-verbal indicators. Perhaps at this point we can stipulate that Shin is being forthright, and if he shows signs otherwise, bring up objections? That may quell the derail, and allow the hotter discussion to unfold unimpeded?
