Graffiti, for some; art, a way of expression, to others; intolerable slander. It's through the eyes of the beholder that makes the difference, but isn't all art a form of expression no matter who makes it. Do we as a society see graffiti as slander because we associate it with gangs? The context of how graffiti is viewed might be different if it was popular among young white females.

You can't deny that there is some talent behind graffiti, but can we deny that there's more than just people doing it for the sake of vandalization.

 This picture looks almost similar to that of a child's driveway after they're done playing with chalk, only it's spray paint and this cement is someone else's property. "vandals" may view it as open space, a pallet to express themselves. We call a child's driveway a work of art, this picture may deserve the same credibility.

We should tag it as graffiti and vandalism if it's causing someone distress. If you don't like rap music, turn it off, if you don't like a painting, don't look at it and if you don't like graffiti, paint over it.

What makes graffiti, graffiti? If it's painted on the side of a building or a train car does someone automatically dub it graffiti or do you see a message when you look at this picture or any of the others.?
