If the wires are romex, then this a code violation. Yet, if you have THWN conductors installed, then what Mr. 500 suggested will work.
Also, If I where you-after isolating the in-coming power-I would try and find out where the second pair (white and black) of conductors are coming from. I'm almost certain the second set of conductors are coming from the remote receptacle being switched. If so, you can wire the recpetacles to have constant power.
Hope this helps!
