#graffiti was used as evidence that Black people make a city unsafe and dirty

if you are liking/reblogging literally any other post on this stupid blog you are so special
#even if you are a bot#i feel like there are so many more important things rn than arguing that ancient rome ALSO had NYPD beating up graf writers#in fact evidence shows NYPD was in Pompeii DURING the volcanic catastrophe beating up a writer#you know exactly what i mean when I talk about which forms of art were criminalized and seen as contributing to urban blight#and victims of the Broken Windows theory idea of “cleaning up NYC by investing in buffing trains instead of eradicating poverty”#broken windows theory was literally that a space with graffiti and broken windows was magically conducive to crime#it's why cops stand around doing nothing at every subway stop and intersection on taxpayer money when school lunches and libraries get#budget cuts#shut the hell up about ancient rome#graffiti was used as evidence that Black people make a city unsafe and dirty#just like rap music was claimed to cause people to turn to crime
