(Faithwire) Former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar thinks conservative celebrities like James Woods or Jon Voight should not have the right to voice their opinions in the public square and has called on social media companies to silence them.
In an op-ed published by The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, Abdul-Jabbar wrote that these conservative celebrities should be censored and even thrown off platforms, accusing them of causing “harm to society.”
“No matter their previous achievements, celebrities deserve legacy-killing backlash when they spread ignorance,” he argues. “Great success in one field can lead to the delusion that all your thoughts are great.”
