WATCH: O'Reilly Blasts Media Over Trayvon Martin
GOP Rep Walks Back Birther Rant
Last week's sports highlight was from a New York nightclub featuring Shaquille O'Neal ripping into Kobe Bryant in a freestyle rap that got cheers from the crowd. But Shaq hasn't been getting many cheers beyond that. An Arizona sheriff already asked for Shaq's honorary deputy badges back from him, now Virginia's Bedford County sheriff Mike Brown is asking for their department's badge back. Shaq was given the badge after his work with the Virginia county's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Brown also told the Associated Press that Shaq's likeness also will no longer be used to promote Operation Blue Ridge Thunder, a unit of the department that O'Neal worked with in investigating Internet predators.As far as Shaq's rap target, he's not talking. When L.A. Times reporter Jonathan Abrams asked Kobe how he took Shaq's jarbs during a USA Olympic Basketball team practice, Kobe said:
"I didn't take it any kind of way whatsoever."
Then he said he won't be answering anymore questions about Shaq and his raps. Guess we won't hear Kobe grab the mic anytime soon to spit a freestyle rap of his own.

Yet another fine example of what NOT to do when you think your own pile doesn't stink. C'mon, guys (and ladies) you are our leaders by virtue of your status in this race. Learn to handle your fame positively and our young ones will see how we are portrayed positively.

Isn't that just how they do Blacks, and why we don't like being judged and complimented by whites. They cover their own and find ways to stop the bleeding (mistake), with us, they apply [more] pressure.
A-A kids get the same kind of treatment from the law. Make a mistake and their whole lives are judged by one, solitary mishap.
Take it in stride Shaq. That law enforcement gang ain't worth worrying about.

A man is suppose to take so much, from another man. I'm torn between the two. I feel Shaq for keeping quiet for so long, but to bring it up know was a bit wild. OK,we all done now !!!

Anyone that listens to the news or the sports comentators that interview shaq should know that shaq is just a big kid at times. He jokes a lot just like normal people. But of course you know that some people that just don't understand humor will take things and just run with it. This is no shock to me that they took away his badge for something so childish, if they could they would have taken away all of his acompishments in life. Shaq please don't let these kind hearted people that love us all so much even get any satisfaction from this, just do what my son says and keep it pushin.By the way im doing gang intervention in los Angeles calif your old stepping grounds. I would love to give you a nicer badge than any indian giver. Hey i would love to have you on my team. I miss ya anyway. rbaileysstorm@aol.com. Holla at ya girl.
