Walmart racial comment case: Teen charged for NJ store incident
A 16 year old boy was arrested, in the case of a racial comment that was made over the public-address system at a Walmart store in southern New Jersey last Sunday.

A 16 year old boy in the case of a racial comment that was made over the public-address system at a Walmart store in southern New Jersey last Sunday arrested on Friday. However Police declined to identify the suspect because of his age and he is a juvenile and the boy was released into the custody of his parents.


The boy ordered black people to leave Walmart store in southern New Jersey over the public-address system. In the mean time a Walmart manager quickly went on the intercom system and apologized for the remark, many customers expressed their anger to store management.

However many black customers claimed that this incident was not new, there have been several past instances at Walmart stores and they were treated unfairly. In early 2009, Walmart paid $17.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging racial discrimination in its hiring of truck drivers.

Every week, about 100 million customers visit Walmart's stores in United States. Walmart is also the world largest chain of large, discount department stores.
