New Jersey Walmart restricts access to PA system after 'all black people leave' announcement

After a racist announcement was made
over the public-address system at a
Walmart in southern New Jersey, the store
has vowed to change its access to the
system.

Shoppers at the Washington Township store
were shocked Sunday night when a voice
came over the retailer's public-address
system announcing: “Attention, Walmart
customers: All black people, leave the
store now.”

The store says it will be reduce the number
of phones that have access to the public-
address system.

Investigators are zeroing in on two dozen
phones in the store where the racial
announcement may have originated.

The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office
said that not all of the phones are in the
view of security cameras, and some are
accessible to the public.
