We recently had a section of highway named after Martin and Coretta King. Now, I'm not a big fan of the entire concept of civil rights, since it can often subject an individual to a governmental end around the double jeopardy clause, and the concept has been overly abused over the years. I am a fan of the concept that all people should be treated the same, and all men (and women) are equal.

That being said, you can guess the race of the majority of the audience that attended the formal unveiling of the names, and that is fine, since Dr. King worked so hard and gave his life trying to get blacks to be treated the same as whites. The problem I have is a statement made by one of the "enlightened ones" at the unveiling. Dr. King's legacy is one of peace and equality for all races and religions. So, what does our enlightened female say? "The naming of this road represents my race." Oh, really?

Remember: White people aren't the only ones who are racist.
