That's the rational that's been flounced around by my suburban brethren in the neighborhood and I find it to be a weak, spineless excuse to avoid naming the area after a person of color. If the bar is that it was named after a member of the KKK, that's a low clearance. As long as you didn't murder, rape, or molest someone you should be clear.

Mosley is my first choice followed by Meadowlark. Concourse is isn't in my top three, though it's better than Skyview (which is better than that Skyfield POS that was getting pushed).
