"---Yes, you can try to express yourself that way but it isn't going to get you anywhere when one has to go to city council meetings or other political arenas to get stuff done. And the truth is that for years white people didn't give minorities (typically the darker skinned people) the time of day. For example, in many Latin American countries, you can see an interesting phenomenon occur when looking at the power hierarchy. The higher you go up the hierarchical ranks, the lighter the skin of the people in the posts. There are rare exceptions. But the point I'm trying to illustrate is that graffiti is sometimes a necessary action to get a point across. I have personally seen people do it for important reasons and governments at the local/city level were compelled to respond to the call of those who were being neglected." ******* Buddy, there was a time when I'd get my head smashed into a Narc's car for no reason what-so-phaaakin ever. NO, sorry, there was a reason. It was at that point in time when they got that special little click of a light bulb over their head, the one that made me visible, the one that had me PROFILED, the one that said anyone from this here block that looks like that one country, you know, the one THEY'RE attacking, is a prick and must be smashed. The problem I have is with the word. The word "Graffiti" puts the artist in the same boat as the Idiot. "---Yea, well...from your initial post it was difficult to discern whether or not you recognized graffiti as art. I mean, this is all I had to work with from your post:" ******* I see what you're saying, should've made it a bit more clear, it's just that I have the tendency to post as if, well, just as if, I guess... "That's the metaphor for Assyrians" ******* I like that, I like that a shitload lot, very simple(which is what we front to be) and to the point(which is what we wish we could be) KHAYA ME --------------------- |
