It is the same logic. Black people fear they will be targeted by the police and white people fear they'll be victims of violent crime. Of course, that's an oversimplification, but it 's certainly one of the largest worries.

Not all black people are African-American though. There is a very large Nigerian population in the area. If you didn't know, Nigeria was of the main exporters of slaves during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Much of their wealth was built off the back of slaves, so I doubt they care if it is called Dudley Square. Even in Lagos—Nigeria's largest city—there is Tinubu Square, named after a famous slave trader. There is even a statue of her there. Ironically, it was originally called independence square.
