It might be appropriate to name a concert hall or something that doesn't already have a name after this famous musician.thank god for this!
Most white guys who have streets or sites named after them are actually Jewish.I got $1,000 that says none of the streets or sites being renamed are renamed for a white guy.
Any takers?
race baiting?Race baiting BS.
The southern states of the US took up arms against the US Federal government, and lost.

honoring a legend is race baiting?
Was in New Orleans just before Katrina. Stayed at The Windsor Court in the CBD. We were on our back from visiting a former Plantation going south on Canal which was stopped so we jogged over one block and its like you drove thru time warp or something. Everyone on their stoop watching ya go by burned out cars, cars on blocks homes just a wreck. Katrina probably did them all a favor
Consider the hundreds and hundreds of Martin Luther King Boulevards (and Avenues and Streets) around the country. Presumably these are all safe from re-naming due to late breaking sensitivity.
Why is it that King's well-known adultery is just a human failing that can't count against him, but white honorees are subject to immediate and violent cancellation if character flaws are identified, even if they are completely consistent with normal activity at the time?
It was done in an effort to intimidate Black Americans and justify the codification of Black codes, Jim Crow, and segregation – having nothing to do with ‘honoring’ Civil War veterans.This all begs the question of why all of this stuff was named after a bunch of stupid loser white guys in the first place, along with all the statues. Just here in northern Virginia alone we ended up with a "Jefferson Davis Highway," a "Quantrell Avenue," "J.E.B. Stuart High School," etc. Why was it ever necessary to plaster these guys' names all over everything? Only people who have done something beneficial for the whole nation and our values should be honored in public spaces. The rest belong in museums and history books.

It's a pretty good bet that anything on or adjacent to an MLK Boulevard is a shithole. You don't see well-to-do neighborhoods even in liberal areas changing the name knowing what it will do to property values.Consider the hundreds and hundreds of Martin Luther King Boulevards (and Avenues and Streets) around the country.
