George Washington Carver would have been much better, a man who self taught science and agriculture. He's the very antithesis of the liberal view of education.

In most cities, the MLK street is placed wherever the local civil rights community wants it.

*** BINGO

[AmishDude]

Of course, GWC did not retire at Iowa State because the school was too cheap to retain him. But that's more of my own personal issues than this thread needs.

[Dan from Michigan]

And I wouldn't in Detroit, Saginaw, or Flint.

[steveo]

go play on the freeway.

Interesting that there was a long protracted fight on the name change and this was in Michigan.
I live in Arkansas and we have had numerous streets here renamed for King in the last 10 to 15 years and I can't remember any controversy about doing any of them at all.

[Richard Kimball]

Heck, I think we just ought to name the whole d*mned WORLD Martin Luther King.

How do I get to the Martin Luther King Museum?

Take a left on MLK, then go down to Martin Luther King. Take a right on King, then go four miles to Martin. Follow along till you get to the MLK turnpike, and you'll pass MLK Park. Stop at the MLK parking lot and ride the King escalator up to the MLK ticket booth. There's a guy there named Junior that can guide you to the Martin Luther King overpass that will take you to the musem.

I am not making a call for any of those. I was illustrating a double standard: racism is OK, so long as it's directed at whites.

[cyborg]

Yes that's the prevailing attitude among the liberals today, so we agree. For some odd reason white liberals endorse it heartily when it doesn't affect them.

[Clemenza]

Same thing with "George Washington Carver Elementary."

[Clemenza]

It appears as though "Hannitized" has an even lower IQ than his idol Sean.

[cyborg]

LOL that's harsh ;o)

[oprahstheantichrist]

How soon till we're encouraged to exchange gifts?

[lainde]

Chris Rock was hilarious about the MLK street signs. BTTT

[aspiring.hillbilly]

I never called him a bigot... I just said his personal life and political beliefs were questionable...

[aspiring.hillbilly]

He took a bullet outside of a no-tell motel.... LOL

[HighFlier]

Hillbilly,

Sorry for not being more clear. He called you a bigot. His post was deleted and he apparently was a troll.

You stated facts and he came back with an adhominem response - typical of the left.

I asked him why he called you a bigot, simply because there was nothing bigoted in what you wrote. Of course, I never received a response.

[cyborg]

Okay but I would think James Earl Ray could have shot him elsewhere.

[aspiring.hillbilly]

A lot of people believe James earl ray wasnt the shooter.

[cyborg]

Like a JFK situation?
