Rename "Plantation Resort" Neighborhood in Frisco, TX

The name of the neighborhood I grew up in is called "Plantation Resort," and the main street name is "Plantation Lane." Such a name glorifies a hideous era plagued by slavery and ignores the gross oppression black folk have faced and continue to face.

As a privileged white community in Frisco, TX, we must acknowledge our positions and use our platforms and resources to be actively ant-racist. We must pay more attention. We must honor, support, and stand with our black community at all times. We cannot let such a disrespectful and ignorant name represent this community.

I do not mean to speak for the black community in Frisco. I am not black and I will never understand the oppression and injustice black folk face. I hope to use my white skin as a platform to communicate with other privileged folk to actively fight racism and end the white supremacist ideals that my hometown neighborhood is named after.
