Unfortunate timing given the anniversary of the riots and a picture showcasing a "White Detroit."

In defense of Gilbert, this campaign was concocted by a contracted advertising firm and it's highly doubtful that Gilbert saw this photo in advance or had to personally approve it before it went up.

In this case, as soon as people expressed concern, Gilbert did the correct thing which was to have it taken down and immediately issue a public apology. Of course, there were always be those who won't be satisfied until the offending party commits Seppuku on live TV to atone for their mistake.
