Wal-Mart probing ‘ALL BLACK PEOPLE LEAVE’ announcement in New Jersey store

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.

Wow… I think I read on twitter today that this is the local Wal-Mart to none other than the Reverend Bob Levy… lol. Maybe it was High Pitch Eric that got on the PA and used his deep voice?
