Outrage over roadside sign in Nebraska town that read: 'Aids, Ebola, Obama. Thanks Africa'

hateful roadside sign blaming Africa for disease and Barack Obama has sparked outrage in Nebraska.

On Monday a resident erected a sign reading, 'Aids, Ebola, Obama, Thanks Africa' on his property off of Highway 10 in the town of Minden.

The sign was taken down within hours of being put up, but not before it was widely shared across social media and condemned by local residents and officials.

I take great comfort in the fact that the reaction was "WTF is wrong with you."
