How incredibly freaking immature! For Shaq to be involved in this is just beyond... it just so freaking disappointing. Incredible. And frankly I won't be impressed by some expensive attempt at a mea culpa... inexcusable.
Wow. I will personally boycott anything Shaq endorses and everyone he is endorsed by until this insensitive bigot is off their payroll. This type of public humiliation by a celebrity should not be tolerated or condoned, let alone "liked".
Waka Flaka already = change the station... hopefully his music career is as brief as his time in school.
Have no clue who this Waka Flocka person is. However, I am quite disappointed in Shaquille and Trey. I guess it only goes to show that we are all human and prone to slips, so to speak. Perhaps, we place too high of an expectation on whom we consider to be role models.
Props to this person for keeping his head held high.

Sorry, maybe a couple of years ago, but if you are clueless to the ramifications of doing dumb and abhorrent crap on a social media site this late in the game you have no freaking excuse.
As for role models, never had any celebrity role models, sure for baseball Willie Mays was the end all be all for me growing up, how I behaved as a person, not so much. But as long as people put these people up , buy the products that they shill, folks will fall for this idol worship crap time after time.
Shaq's would never be my role model but I would have like to think that he was a decent human being. Oh well.

Oh, to be sure, they should known better.
Unless, I misunderstood the commentary in the video, I am also highly disappointed by the 14,000 likes from fans.

And basically he is. Just like a lot of other immature humans, who sometimes do stupid things, despite their wealth or status. And no, there are not many excuses, but there are always reasons.
I've never called for anyone to be fired because I either stop using the product or just change the channel but if Shaq was fired for this, I wouldn't lose a second of sleep.

Well I sure as hell can't argue with that.
