We have a black man occupying a building called the "White House" which was built by slaves.  I'd say there's plenty of irony to be found in this country.

it is highly ironic that the nation built on ridding themselves from government ended up facilitating groups of power which are stronger than 'government'

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.  For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire.  Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.

~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"

Irony is everywhere.

I'm from the midwest, and it exists and is laughed at/winked about/alluded to frequently.

We're all humans.

Jumped in a river, what did I see?
Black eyed angels swimming with me
Moon full of stars and astral cars, all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and all my futures
We went to heaven in a little rowboat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

what is irony?

I think it is a matter of context.

something is ironic if a particular aspect of the context makes the thing more significant.

eg dramatic irony

when information that is known by the audience allows them to see more significance in the words of the actors than the characters themselves. The information gives the audience extra context over the characters.

other types of irony are basically the same thing but there is not a clear distinction between audience and stage

The tendency to find irony in things is a human trait,
the concept of irony, a human construct.
