A bad neighborhood named after a good guy. it's too bad... he'd be ashamed of the streets carrying his name.

It's funny you should ask this. Last Saturday my sister's fiance asked the same thing b/c we were in downtown L.A. He is from Georgia & said that the M.L.K. street in GA is in a not so great place also. We were saying, Yeah they name a street after him but they put it in what's considered a bad area where many people will never see it. Coincidence? Sure, just like Black History month - it's the shortest month of the year . . .

In every big city I've been in, and I've traveled a lot, MLK is not a good place to be. I recall Chris Rock joking about it in one of his comedy specials.
Stop though. Has it ever occurred to you that the powers to be that decided which thoroughfare to name MLK have always chosen an economically depressed area to bestow the name upon? For a lot of cities, this equates into people of color, not exclusively of course, who are struggling to get through every day and are dealing not only with bad schools and minimum wage jobs, but also with those who have turned to crime to deal with poverty and desperation in their neighborhoods? Who ignores them and tries to "fix" the problem by putting small patches on ruptures? Our government. I don't think it's a subject for flippancy, but go ahead and tell me to get a sense of humor.
Yeah, I'm a privileged white woman who doesn't know anything and I admit it. But I do know B.S. when I hear it and lately I've had about as much as I can take from the bigots in this forum.
Time to take a break.

Martin Luther King Street here in Seattle is no place to be.

It depends where that particular MLK Jr. street is. If the area's known for crime, then yeah, bad neighborhood, but if it isn't, then I don't really think about it at all.

I've lived in several major US cities (LA, Seattle, Boston, Chicago) and MLK street is always in a bad neighborhood.

It depends on the city - I guess every town with more than a couple of thousand inhabitants has an MLK. I'm sure sometimes it says both.
