A display of Halloween decorations in a front a law firm was removed in Nyack, New York because it offended some residents.

The decorations that sparked outrage were black jack-o-lanterns painted with white eyes, nose, and mouth perched on a bale of hay along with a regular orange pumpkin.

The complaints from community members prompted Feerick Nugent MacCartney law firm to remove the pumpkins less than two days after setting them in front of their office.

Mary Marzolla, one of the partners at the law firm, told News 12, “We understand that someone complained about them and so once we got word of that we immediately took them down.” Marzolla explained that the pumpkins were personalized with the partners’ names, and they did not mean to offend anyone.

“We represent people of all colors and faiths, and we would never do anything to exclude anyone from any community,” she added.

“It’s just nothing I take offense to personally, but since it did offend someone we took proactive steps to take it down,” said Alak Shah of the law firm.

Director of the local NAACP Wilbur Aldridge said the black jack-o-lanterns are another form of “blackface” and demonstrate an “extreme lack of sensitivity.”

“By now I would believe everyone [would] know that anything in black face is offensive,” said Aldridge.

The attorneys of the law firm noted there were no reported complaints at the retail store Bed, Bath & Beyond for selling them.

News 12 reported, “Bed Bath & Beyond apologized, saying that any offense was unintentional and that it ‘immediately removed’ the pumpkins from sale.”

So there it is, no more black pumpkins. What’s next? Skeletons?
