The role of graffitis in these countries has similarities but also has differences.  For example, in the countries of Colombia and Brazil, some of the graffitis are about political issues and corruption, in Colombia it is like a protest against violence and politician and in Brazil, it began being related to protest against the destruction of nature in favor of big cities.  On the other hand, graffitis in Honduras are not only about politics, but some street artists use internationally renowned works to get people's attention, and then they contrast these images by making additions to the drawings.  In this countries, graffiti is usually use to protest against something artist do not feel comfortable about, or to show the way people feel about different situations.

What I like the most about this new trend is that they have adopted the style of Mexican Gangsters because they like the way they dress and they like their habbits, but without taking the bad aspects of the original trend in Mexico.  I think it is really good that they take the good things from others and adapt those things to their philosophy of life.

AfroColombians

I really like the video because I think it is very important to create organizations to support people that are victims of racism.  Nowadays, people should not discriminate others because of its race, religion or customs.  Every human being should have the same opportunities, it should not matter where he is from.  I am in agreement with the idea of creating organizations as Observatorio de Discriminación Racial, and dedicating time to study why people are racist and what we can do to teach them that they should stop discriminating others.
