1 That would be the real story. Maybe Barry Obama Avenue because he has done so much already! Get over it & move on! |

1 Why is it that you partison schmucks can't let go of that loser? If you want to idolize the idiot, move to Texas. That is the only place dumb enough to actually honor the WORST PRESIDENT EVER. |

1 Sadly, he no longer provides inspiration to a large majority of black youth. Boondocks played it quite well in how MLKJ would be aghast of what has become of his community. Even Chris Rock said ,'If a friend calls you on the telephone and says they're lost on Martin Luther King Boulevard and they want to know what they should do, the best response is ‘Run!’” Instead of spending money on changing street signs, etc how about using that money to clean it up, extra patrols, clean up the gangs. |

1 I don't know why some people feel the need to tear Martin Luther King's legacy down with rumors of his alleged womanizing. To be fair, I believe that it's probably true. Martin Luther King was a civil rights leader who had many admirers. I wouldn't be surprised if he gave in to temptation. That doesn't diminish who he was or what he did. He did not make a name for himself preaching about morality. He fought against injustice. He didn't exploit his popularity for personal gain. He didn't get rich and he didn't parlay his popularity into a career in politics. He was always dedicated to his cause and ultimately he was killed for it. I don't see any problem naming Mt. Vernon Avenue for Dr. King. We already have the King Arts Complex in the area and it's not hurting anybody if we change a few street signs. |

I am totally against this. For one thing, I am against naming things for celebrities in general, and especially politicians, and especially those who are not beyond reproach. Let us see the sealed records so the public can find out what kind of man he really was. We already know he abused women, was a serial adulterer, and spent the last night before he was killed with a prostitute. He isn't a real hero except to race baiters who ignore his hope for a colorless society.
Secondly, there have been enough streets, schools, and buildings named after him already. It is as if they can't get any better ideas. |

Personally, I prefer Malcolm X Blvd. As a person, he was MUCH greater than MLK!

Chicago will be coming up in three years. It's never to early to start looking for an apartment on the South side. There will be another community organiser family of lawyers there to help you. You might even look up the massolium that Fat Cat Burris has built to honer himself! THe worst President ever still is being claimed by the peanut farmer in Georgia. Jimmy Carter followed by the chossen one. Say hi to butter ball Oprah & the Rev. Wright! Ayers? never heard of him. Blogovich; hardley knew him. What a riot. Next you will want to name a street on the East side after him. |
