Wal-Mart probing racist store announcement

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, New Jersey - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. officials are reviewing security tapes to try to determine who used a southern New Jersey store's public-address system to tell "all black people" to leave.

On Sunday evening at the Washington Township store, a male voice calmly announced: "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now."

Witnesses told the Courier-Post newspaper that customers and store employees looked stunned. Management later apologized.

Company spokeswoman Ashley Hardie says the incident was "unacceptable." The retailer is looking to prevent it from happening in the future.

Washington Township police and the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office also are investigating.

Now what the hayle is REALLY going on around here?  I would've been just as stunned as the rest of the folks in the store!  I HOPE and PRAY it wasn't a black person playing games over the PA system, because it wasn't funny at all!  Somebody HAS to know who was on the loudspeaker.
