Wal-Mart is being sued for $1 million by a man who claims he was traumatized by a racist comment made over an intercom at a southern New Jersey store two years ago.
Donnell Battie, of Winslow, accuses Wal-Mart of being negligent in failing to control access to the store's intercom, which was used to broadcast an announcement ordering all black people to leave the Washington Township store. A 16-year-old boy was arrested days later and charged with harassment and bias intimidation.
Wal-Mart spokesman Greg Rossiter tells the Courier-Post (http://on.cpsj.com/KkdIUG) the firm has apologized and has worked to prevent it from happening again.
Battie claims he has needed medical care due to the March 2010 comment. He says it caused him "severe and disabling emotional and psychological harm."

once again, only in USA.
There should be law, when you sue someone because YOU are a moron or a opportunist, you should be put to jail.

LOL if someone said... "will all white people please leave the store", it wouldn't bother me in the slightest i would literally laugh and then carry on shopping so stop being pathetic and get over it. why rise to it? obviously some kid thinking it would be funny when it obviously isn't but what an over reaction by the people.

Oh for the love of all that is good get over yourselves. You need $1MM? I smell a shyster and a money scam.
Hell they might have paid the kid to do it to rake in some Wal Mart cash.

"severe and disabling emotional and psychological harm." is legal-speak meaning "Pay Me"

Jeez, grow up. It happened years ago and had someone stated, "All white people leave the store" this would have been a non-story. What a bunch of crap.
