Wal-Mart officials are looking at security tapes after an announcement was made for "all black people'' to leave a store in South Jersey.
A man used the public-address system at the Route 42 store in Washington Township Sunday night and calmly announced: "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now.''
Patricia Covington and Shelia Ellington were inside the store when it happened and told the Courier Post that customers and store employees looked stuneed when they heard it.
"In 2010, I want to know why such statements are being made because it flies in the face of what we teach them [our kids] at home, and that's tolerance for people," said Ellington.
Ellington and other customers let store management and police know they were upset.
They asked the store to use the same announcement system to apologize to customers that night, which it did.
Wal-Mart management called the incident "unacceptable," and said it's working to make sure nothing like this happens at any other stores.
Washington Township police and the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office are investigating the incident as a possible bias crime.
"I can't believe it in this day and age," Covington told the paper. "Wal-Mart needs to be more responsible."
Covington and Elllington are boycotting the store.

Your kids are taught at home that they are victims who will always require someone else to fight their battles for them. You don't seem to have a problem when government tells Asian students to get out of the admissions line at our Universities.
This immediately brought to mind the time that ABC was televising a baseball game and left an open microphone on the top of a team dugout. One of the fans was talking into the microphone, saying “Howard (Cosell) no one likes you...”
To me, this sounds like either a prank by some idiot kids or worse, a setup for a lawsuit.
..and who is the culprit? Who was responsible for this? Whats his name and where’s his photo?
Probably a prank, but people should not live with a chip on their shoulder.
Let’s get it right:
“store employees looked stuneed when they heard it.”
stuneed = stuned
“are investigating the incident as a possible bias crime.”
Unless, of course, it was done by a black person. Then, never mind.
Wow! The police had to get involved?! Must be a special “hurt feelings” division of the police force. Blacks have no problem with “Jet” and “Ebony” magazines which scream that whites aren’t welcome!
Or stunned
To me, this sounds like either a prank by some idiot kids or worse, a setup for a lawsuit.
or sabotage by the usual Union Thug suspects who hate WalMart
you beat me to it....
yes they are taught how they are victims and repressed by the white man and how to play the system for all they can get.....
call me racists if you will but there is truth in what we say....
The announcement seems to have worked.
So the prankster wins........
Looks like a job for “Super Race Baiter” Jesse Jackson! He should be able to squeeze out a couple million for his rainbow BS.
Watch for Mister Hymietown and Tawana Brawley's best buddy to get in on this...bigtime!
Harry Reid would know. If it didn’t, we’d know it wasn’t President Yomomma...er Obama
No doubt! What a bunch of babies.
It was some idiot pulling a prank, get over it already.
