Why should she focus on the graffiti? It was not the point of the shot.
I notice how some people focus on graffiti, clothing of black people, black on black crime, but never seem concerned that black people are over-policed and harassed in their own neighborhoods by law enforcement. Those same people never question stop and frisk even though it's racist and the policy was used to target black and brown men. They have no problem with that. But the graffiti is what bothers them.
Sad to see that if we say, 'stop killing our men!" They say, black on black crime. We say, "we are being followed and stopped just for our color!" They say, look at that graffiti!
Transparent relics.
