I agree that every town in the US doesn't need a MLK boulevard - so, which ones do? Who decides? Is it just where he's lived, or where he marched? IS Dr. King only supposed to be a hero to black people or Americans of every color, creed and religion?
I agree that Mayor Jackson's name doesn't need to be on the airport when he wasn't even the best black mayor in the history of Atlanta.
The NCAA told SC that they might not come to the state for Championship events due to the battle flag because of the fact that the only reason it flew and had flown since the 1960s is to call for a return to segregation.
But, "black pride" isn't shoved down anyones throat any more that "white pride" has and had been shoved down the throats of this country for the last 200 years while the work and the work product of other groups has been ignored.
