Why is it that highways named after Martin Luther King are always in the ghetto?

In English, that happens a lot.  We have a White House but in most of the world, it would be a House White (Casablanca) but we do have Baton Rouge, LA which we should rename, Red Stick, LA.  We think the right way, everyone else is backward. We also drive on the right side of the road. OK?

It may have been 40 years since the civil rights movement, but there hasn't been any wandering around in the desert ever since, and Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't lead the non-wandering in the desert, as he was busy being dead.  So no, it isn't a copy of the exodus, and Martin Luther King was simply Martin Luther King, Jr. and not a reincarnation of Moses.\n\nAnd sure, there has been a large group of the lost tribe of Manasseh  being found in Ethopia and they're black, but they've found other groups of some of the "lost tribes" in China, Russia, etc., so its obviously not about race.  I really don't think God is racially prejudiced.

Sometimes it's the developer who owns the land, a lot of times you can change street names by petitioning the city you live in and having a public vote. City council also has the authority to do it based on honoring someone or getting rid of a controversial one.

When laying out streets for the suburbs of Chicago, the rivers, hills, highways, existing roads, and railroad right of ways caused street names to change and streets to disappear as new neighborhoods were built.\n\nVestiges of 17th and 20th can still be seen in nearby Chicago and Cicero respectively.\n\nSee the cool Google satellite map below:

He was born Michael Luther King, Jr, which is the name he had until he was 6 years old.   In 1935, his minister father, known in his church as "Daddy King", had an inspiration to name himself after the Protestant reformer Martin Luther. He declared to his congregation that henceforth they were to refer to him as "Martin Luther King" and to his son as "Martin Luther King, Jr." I don't believe that the name change was ever legalized in court, however.

I am Muslim but I still think Dr. Martin Luther King was a more effective leader.  He had a mission and that was getting equality and right to vote for people of all races in the United States through peaceful means.  Peaceful means is always more effective than violence. He could have been a better political leader for blacks than Jesse Jackson if he was alive.  Look at Mandela and Gandhi.  The Palestinians could learn a few lessons.  Sucide bombers is not the answer.\n\nMalcolm X had more anger and hatred in him and got pulled into a racist movement which was the "Nation of Islam".  He wanted to highlight the plight of blacks in America and bring in the notion of black superiority.  Later on in his life he went to hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca and embrased true Islam and its unversalist concepts, by then he was assasinated.

A necessary evil that affects your property rights.  Sometimes it is necessary to build roads for the rest of the community over your house.  It is ideally for the good of the community.  But it would not be fun if your house had to go.

There is no such thing as ghetto in a good way.  Have you ever seen a real ghetto???   Why in the world would you want to act that????   I bet you're young.
