Houston Mayor Bill White is so white, his name is actually White.  So does somebody want to tell me who thought it would be a good idea to make him the cream in an Obama/MLK Oreo?

Sorry about the horrible image quality but it was the best one I could find.  I couldn't use the one from the newspaper in the office because I spit my coffee out all over it when I saw this.   In case you can't read it, the caption above the world's most awkward Mt. Rushmore is "The Dream, The Hope, The Change." 

It gets better.  This ad was run in a local African-American newspaper, The Defender. The ad was also designed by staff at The Defender.  The intent of the ad is to promote Mayor White and his run for the US Senate.

From what I have learned in my short time in Houston, Mayor White is actually a good guy. He's also a Democrat running for a Senate seat in Texas, so I understand he's going to need the African American community to come out and vote for him.  But seriously, guy: you might as well have done this ad in blackface.
