Re: "The Art of Graffitti Writing"

Refering to the comment I made earlier about art expressing things that no other media can. What is there in the the picture you post that cannot be expressed in any other way?
All it seems to me to be saying is "I am black, American and disadvantaged, isn't it a shame for me?"
Dead original that one Ceejache! What would be original would be something that described a way out the well of self-pity and self-loathing that most ethnic minorities, sooner or later, seem to end up in.

Or maybe I'm wrong and it is saying "I'm black, American and disadvantaged and what is more I am proud of it!" Which is fair enough. But does holding such a sentiment justify what is, in effect, criminal damage? And does it not also display a level of contempt for society and it's rules that is deeply disturbing?
