Graffiti is used for several reasons, but mostly to mark territory or who has been there. Graffiti is like a road map of a city for those who know how to read it. Graffiti is more prevalent in black and hispanic neighborhoods than in white neighborhoods, but this has more to do with the economics of the neighborhood than ethnicity. When kids grow up in poor conditions without a lot of hope for the future, they try to hold on to the little they have. They take posesion of their street or neighborhood and tag it so everyone else knows. Their territory becomes a source of power for kids who society doesn't give a damn about. In many areas, even the kids who might have a chance can't even get a decent education because the schools are terrible. Graffiti is only a symptom of much larger issues.
