As a clarification to my prior posting in this thread, I want to make it clear that I don't wish to tarnish an important aspect of Dr. King's legacy.

As a result of his martyrdom, numerous streets, roads and freeways have been named in his honor. These aptly-designated thoroughfares (such as MLK Boulevard) provide warning for those of us in an unfamiliar city of exactly where NOT TO GO!

Seriesly, is there any village, town, borough or city where a venue named after MLK isn't inhabited by urban thugs?

Chris Rock pretty much said the same thing.

Am I the only one who owns a GPS that automatically take me through those parts of any city....I'm thinking that the black chamber of commerce programmed mine. Not long ago I was in a city that I was fairly familiar with and decided just for the fun of it to follow the GPS...sure enough at 1500 in the afternoon thousands of black folks were wide eyed as I traveled through their "hood" in a white Lincoln...but being an old white fart they must have felt sorry for me and left me alone or maybe, just maybe they sensed that there was a .38 stub nose in the glove compartment...only the devil will ever know for sure.
