It’s a damned shame I don’t know more Black graffiti artists, but that speaks volumes about who gets their graffiti deemed “art” and who’s just “vandalising”. Banksy gets to sell his art to Angelina Jolie and the whole of Los Angeles, and they call it a revolution anti-anti-anti-everything, while the most widely known Black artist, Michael Stewart, gets killed by the hands of the cops who arrested him when they caught him “scrawling graffiti”. exactly when POC do it, its vandalizing, suburban white boys do it and they’re hot shit.
