Racist Woman Tells Big Shaq “Go Back to Africa”—His Response Leaves the Crowd in Shock
One afternoon, Big Shaq was shopping at his local store when an elderly woman, Mrs. Margaret, confronted him in the cereal aisle, complaining about him blocking her way. After he politely moved aside, she muttered disapprovingly, “They’ll let anyone in here these days.”
Shaq remained calm, but as he was leaving the aisle, Mrs. Margaret called for security, accusing him of not belonging in the store and shouting, “Send him back to Africa!”
Shaq calmly addressed her, explaining that his skin color didn’t define him, and shared that his grandmother would be disappointed by such views. Moved by his words, Mrs. Margaret apologized, and the crowd responded with applause.
The encounter ended with Mrs. Margaret, once prejudiced, now greeting others warmly, and Shaq’s message of kindness resonating with everyone in the store.
