I honestly don't know why they seem to pick the worst street in town for Martin Luther King Street. Why not a beautiful street with historic homes or the river walk street or something better. I don't know why they pick the worst roads to name.

They are trying to warn out-of-towners where the dangerous part of town is.

Because having a street named MLK anywhere NEAR your property will reduce your house price by a significant amount.

Because the ONLY people who want a MLK street in their neighborhood are blacks, and therefore having a MLK street signals that this is a predominantly black area. How many predominantly black areas which are prosperous and safe have you personally walked through?

Let's be honest here.

If you lived on, oh, I don't know, "Canterbury Lane" and the city told you it was to be renamed "Martin Luther King Boulevard", would you or your neighbors accept that lightly?
