I'm sorry, but every town I've ever been in had an MLK street. Not every one had a Washington or a Jefferson street or high school. That being said, MLK wasnt really what I was saying regarding shoving black culture down our throats. Living in Atlanta, I'll go back to the Maynard Jackson thing. A LOT of people were extremely pissed off about that. I have no problem with an MLK blvd (although most i've been on were kinda scary). Another issue I remember people getting upset about was Rosa Parks lying in state. There are plenty of things, black history month, celebrations of "diversity," etc...that just get annoying for white people. Like blacks, we get really tired of having everything made into a racial issue.
