'Stop blaming white people' sign causes stir at N.J. post office

The United States Postal Service said it is investigating a racial sign put up outside its Flemington location.

USPS Postal Inspector Greg Kliemisch said Friday afternoon the sign, which read "March is national stop blaming white people month! Accept responsibility for your own bad choices. Hug a white person!," was put up sometime Thursday. It was taken down in the afternoon by employees, he said.

Kliemisch said posting signs on the building is strictly prohibited. He could not confirm whether or not the location had cameras outside the building that captured the incident.

A semi-rhetorical question: is the rule enforced equally for everybody?

That depends on the Postmaster running the branch

Surprised they didn't just change "hug" to "mug"

The USPS is pretty touchy when it comes to this stuff. Remember the expression going postal? They do not need anything to rock the boat and the possible insinuation an employee has racial attitudes.
