PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (NBC) -- Wal-Mart officials are looking at security tapes after an announcement was made for "all black people" to leave a New Jersey store.

A man used the public-address system at Turnersville store in Sunday night and calmly announced: "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now."

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.

Atleast he didn't use the N word. Not that I aprove of what he did say, just trying to look on the bright side. It could have been much worse, and so far as I've heard, Wal-Mart has handled the situation respectfully. They immediatly issued a public appology and taking measures(whatever that is) to prevent future occurances. As appaling as it is, it could have been much worse.

Probably was a teenager thinking he was being funny. Hope the camera's picked up something.

Sickening. This country still has a long ways to go. The person who did this should be punished however the law allows.
