Sunday evening at a suburban Wal-mart in New Jersey, someone took control of the store's PA and calmly announced "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now."
Wal-Mart officials said they're reviewing security tapes to find out who made the announcement. Washington Township police, with the assistance of the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office, are investigating the episode as a possible hate crime.
A company spokesperson called the incident "unacceptable," according to the AP, and "the retailer is looking to prevent it from happening in the future."
If only Wal-mart could end racism in America so easily.
