Did you know that following Black History Month, March is national "Stop Blaming White People Month?" We didn't either, but according to a sign posted overnight in a Flemington, New Jersey, post office it is.

According to NJ Advance Media, the sign has been causing quite the stir and rightfully so.

USPS Postal Inspector Greg Kliemisch said Friday afternoon the sign was put up sometime Thursday but was taken down in the afternoon by employees. While Kliemisch said posting signs on the building is strictly prohibited, he did not confirm whether the location had cameras outside the building that captured the incident — seemingly the best solution to find the perpetrator.

Flemington Councilwoman Betsy Driver chastised the sign on the "Flemington Forward" public Facebook group.

"The fact that somebody even put the sign up is just sad and not a reflection of our town," Driver said. "Racism is not a laughing matter."

While the incident is being investigated, the potential consequences that the hanger of the sign might face are unclear. This seems like something that could get swept under the rug, but the perpetrator's closeted racism deserves to be hung out to dry.
