Former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is attacking conservative and anti-woke celebrities, demanding that social media giants step up censorship because these stars are tweeting “irrational and harmful opinions to millions.”
In The Hollywood Reporter, Abdul-Jabbar singled out conservative Hollywood stars Jon Voight and James Woods. He also targeted celebrities who refuse to submit to woke ideology, including Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling..
“Social media companies have begun slapping warnings on some messages that are false, incite violence or cause harm to society. But this needs to be done with more consistency and vigilance,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote. “Many Americans imbue stars with political and social intelligence they just don’t have.”
He made no mention of left-wing celebrities who have tweeted false and defamatory claims. Some have even called for violence on conservatives.
Filmmaker Rob Reiner has repeatedly tweeted President Trump is a murderer and a white supremacist and all of his supporters are racists. Actress Debra Messing once tweeted that President Trump is a rapist and pedophile. She recently expressed her hope that the president gets raped in prison. None of these posts has received a fact check or disciplinary action from Twitter.
Social media platforms increased their fact-checking efforts in the weeks leading up to the election. But much of their energy was focused on censoring President Donald Trump by blocking some of his tweets and suppressing damaging stories to Joe Biden, such as the New York Post‘s series of reports on the Biden family scandal.

All bestsellers no doubt. Why have I never heard of a single one of them?
Blaxploitation actress Pam Grier was once his live in girlfriend around the time of his conversion to Islam.
After his conversion, all of the sudden Pam found herself being treated like a second class citizen by him in their own home. For example, one time he had a little get together for his fellow muslims in his house. He got Pam to make the food and refreshments for the party. Then had her banished to another room in the house before his guests arrive and told her to stay there until she was summoned.
Pam complained about his treatment of her and he would assure her that her treatment by him will get better and improve after they’re married.
She didnt wait around to find out. She walked out on him.
Phuck Lew Alcindor.
I’vw spoken to Dan inosanto here in L.A thru the years. He knows which of Bruce’s celeb students were serious and not. Tells me Bruce respected Coburn and Steve McQueen because they had a grasp on how to kick your ass. When it comes to KAJ, he started laughing but didnt say anything afterwards. I knew what he was saying...
On another note: Dan’s daughter Diana was in the Mandalorian and I met her years ago.
I was quoting the movie Airplane! where Kareem played Roger Murdock
yeah metoo kareem abdul taqiyaa
This nitwit needs to go shoot a basketball.

It sounds like the extreme radical leftist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is rushing his public audition so he can beat out Zuckerberg for Sleepy Joe's open Cabinet slot for "U.S. Secretary of Censorship."
His being inconvenienced by alternative viewpoints is not sufficient reason to limit my God given freedoms.
Move to China kareem. Move somewhere that will imprison, beat you or worse if you say the wrong thing. Take your totalitarian desires with you.
Does he really not understand and appreciate what freedom means? Someone who has likely travelled the world should and lived a little should understand this.
What a jackass.
I think Lew was from the Inwood section of Manhattan and went to Power Memorial H.S. Certainly not a Queens guy.
The rich irony of Basketballbrain’s comments seem to be completely lost on him. Advocating censorship is an irrational and harmful opinion. As for those stars lacking political and social intelligence, the shoe fits.
Perhaps he should have become a pilot instead. :)
such a fragile little man,, pitiful to hear a man whine like this ..
Well, Alcindor, you got that one right, and I hope you included yourself among those often credited with intelligence they just don’t have.
Is this the guy who supposedly screwed 20,000 white women or was it 10,000?
I only kept up with Gene Simmons at 5000 because I like KISS.
He needs to look at himself in the mirror and read the following: “Many Americans imbue stars with political and social intelligence they just don’t have… It doesn’t help to be surrounded by fawning people whose job it is to agree with everything you say. The irresponsibility of tweeting irrational and harmful opinions to millions, regardless of the damaging consequences to their country or people’s lives, proves that those stars deserve the harsh backlash.”
KAJ. HATES white people.
He is the most outwardly racist a-hole I’ve ever met.
When I would edit my photo shoots with him around, I would only send ones where his eyes were closed or he looked drunk.
Screw him.
Idiots made people like this person rich. Mostly white idiots. To see him bounce a ball.
That was Wilt Chamberlain.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is/was a Hanafi Muslim, a group to which he donate a large expensive house in Washngton DC, later the site of a murderous hostage shoot out situation, between Muslims....made national.news at the time.
