Commotion as 'Stop Blaming White People' Sign is spotted at a New Jersey Post Office

There was commotion in a New Jersey community after a racism inspired sign declaring March to be “Stop Blaming White People Month!” was placed at a New Jersey post office.
The sign was reportedly put up last Thursday at a U.S. Postal Service location in Flemington, about 26 miles north of Trenton, the state's capital.
The sign read:  "March is national stop blaming white people month! Accept responsibility for your own bad choices. Hug a white person!”


 Greg Kliemisch, a USPS postal inspector, told NJ.com that the sign was discovered Thursday by postal employees, and was immediately removed.
“Posting signs of any kind controversial or not at the post office is strictly prohibited,” Kliemisch said.
Flemington Councilwoman Betsy Driver, also criticized it on the public “Flemington Forward” Facebook group.
She wrote: “Racism in our town exists, and the racists have been emboldened in the past year to fly their hateful flags a bit higher and yell a bit louder,” Driver wrote.
She was quoted by NJ.com saying that "The fact that somebody even put the sign up is just sad and not a reflection of our town," Driver said.
It was also reported that the United States Postal Service is investigating the sign to find the person who placed the racism-inspired sign.
