A New Jersey Wal-Mart is checking security footage to find out who used the PA system to order "all black people" to leave the Washington Township store. Over a dozen black customers were in the store when a male voice said: "Attention Wal-Mart customers, all black people must leave the store now." Police are treating the incident as a bias crime.
A Wal-Mart spokesman said the company is "appalled" by the incident. "Some of our customers are upset at us, and I understand why" he told CNN. It's unclear whether the racist prankster was one of the store's 700 full and part-time employees, as some of the branch's in-store telephones can be accessed by customers, police said

I am not a big fan of Wal-Mart to begin with, but this incident is clearly appalling and uncalled for. I hope law enforcement finds the person who made the announcement and punishes him to the fullest extent of the law.
