WTF? I thought he got off!

This.


It was reported weeks ago that he was found not guilty.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

I'd like to think this is his punishment for not bringing Guillermo del Toro back from Blade 3. :\

 

[Pterion]

He was pretty good in that movie with Jason Statham, Chaos Theory I think it was called.

Anyway, I hope he appeals, and beats this shit. Damn justice system couldn't let go.

I watched Chaos Theory and NCFOM 2 weeks ago. I enjoyed CT more...

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

"Prisoner 57" confirmed.

 

[akachan ningen]

Yeah, the sentence is a bit too much, he should have just have had to pay back the money and the fines.

But still, he has noone to blame but himself; he knew what he was doing.

 

[DreD]

Wesley Snipes gets 3 years in Jail

 

[Particle Physicist]

just read the charges... ouch.. 3 years is too much though. crazy.

 

[PhoenixDark]

As Al Capone proved, you can do whatever the fuck you want except not pay taxes. God dammit Wesley, why

A true legend, Wesley put light skinned brothers out of business for years. We've still got Akon and Lovie Smith but today was definitely a blow for The Movement.

 

[esbern]

god that sucks for the guy that has to share a cell with fucking BLADE for the next 3 years

What's wrong with light skinned brothers, 'cause you know I happen to be one?

 

[Archer]

I wonder if Snipes will be the bottom.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Nothing.

What he means is Wesley Snipes opened the floodgates for some Hershey's Special Dark brothers.

Sort of how there hasn't been a black female ambassador for the masses yet. America still prefers gateway negroes like Halle Berry or Beyonce, who aren't too far removed from "white bread" in appearance.

I'd say Angela Basset came close, and Kellita Smith deserves more of a push - but what the hell. I'm just looking for more fap material. :\

A Carla Campbell is fine too.

No. Grace Jones does not count, as she's just tranny Wesley Snipes. :X

 

[PhoenixDark]

You must be new here. Blackace and Beezy know what's up

 

[Kreed]

what i dont get is that there is no way that he filed his taxes himself.. he most certainly got an accountant to file his shit.. so.. why doesnt the accountant get in trouble for this instead?

His accountant was convicted of the conspiracy and false claim charges Gexecuter brought up, along with Eddie Ray Kahn who ran illegal tax evasion operations. The accountant got 4 and a half years and Kahn got 10 years.

 

[Timedog]

You must be new here. Blackace and Beezy know what's up

i don't know anything about this. please make a thread with a poll so we can get the ratio of dark skinned vs. light skinned blacks on gaf.

 

[Gig]

"Gateway Negroes" I think you're trying to find racism were their is none, I don't think the American public likes Halle and Beyonce over other black actresses and singers because they have lighter skin.

 

[sspeedy]

man, why sympathize with this guy?! white or black, he has more than enough to pay. If I have to pay a significant amount from my pay, why can't these arrogant pricks? wtf GAF

 

[Gorgie]

America is way too eager to lock people up. The smart thing would of been to give him a hefty fine, then let him loose to make more movies to make more money to pay more taxes. Now Snipes is going to be costing America money for three years.

 

[Darkman M]

Love how you all say it's because hes black, even tho he did break the law. Basically you guys want it so, if you're black, you get off with nothing, but if you're white, YOU GET THE DEATH PENALTY. Get real people, he broke the law, stop feeling bad for the millionaire, just because hes black.

lol u mad?

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

"Gateway Negroes" I think you're trying to find racism were their is none, I don't think the American public likes Halle and Beyonce over other black actresses and singers because they have lighter skin.

I'll keep this in mind the next time any white guy prattles off Beyonce / Halle Berry when they list the two black women they find attractive. :\

I'm sure there have been a few more light skinned phenoms since then. I don't pay much attention to pop culture anymore - that fivehead dogbitch that sings that Umbrella song is another candidate if I had to be pressed.

 

[Windu]

3 years seems about right for not paying about 2.7 million in taxes. I don't know why you guys are complaining.

 

[Blackace]

You must be new here. Blackace and Beezy know what's up

My screen name should have been brownace but then people would think I'm a mexican..

 

[Blackace]

There really any other "main stream" female, black stars who are light skinned or half..

 

[PolyGone]

I'm white and I'll admit I doubt a white actor with millions of unpaid taxes would go to jail, and if he did it wouldn't be for the maximum allowable sentence. He'd be fined and set free. Also, this case was handled in an area where racism might be an issue...

There really any other "main stream" female, black stars who are light skinned or half..

Jessica Alba, Alicia Keys...

Maybe they would say that not because they are light skinned black women, but because they are two of the most famous black women!

White people who hate black people don't hate us in degrees based on how light or dark we are, they hate us equally.

This is some Dale Gribble level conspiracy theory shit right here.

 

[Rekki-Maru]

Should've sentenced him to Cryo-freeze for another 10 years or so.

Never heard of The Brown Paper Bag Test, I take it?

ah. i see.. i guess we just didnt hear about them since they arent famous..

pretty crazy.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Phoenix is just mad that will smith will continue to hold us light brothers down, while blade gets to meet up with tiny behind prison walls.

 

[Blackace]

The most interesting thing of it all is the "racism" that blacks have for each other as well regarding skin tone...

Well PD still has Martin...

Oh shit. :lol :lol I just choked on the water i was drinking. thanks! :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

I'm sure the movement will meet up at big mama's house. lulz

 

[Rorschach]

Jessica Alba, Alicia Keys...

...Jessica Alba is not black.

Oh that was gold:lol

 

[Gig]

I really don't see how that has any bearing here. First that was many, many years ago, second that was just among African Americans, not black and whites.

I will admit that there is some racism in the African American community based on how dark or light skinned you are, but as far as white people are concerned, I really don't think they give a damn.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Ah, it seems to be prevalent everywhere. :\

It's less obvious with white folks, but it's there. One of the clearest indications is in the fashion. I'm a blue collar sorta guy, and I recall walking around the ritzy shits faux community shopping center once to visit the nearby Apple store; and old white ladies clinging tight to their purses as I approached. :\

Really?

I'll shave and put on some American Eagle / Hollister for you rancid old twats. >:|

Well PD still has Martin...




:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

That's just wrong! :lol

I'm just saying dude.

I know plenty of my white brethren who would eagerly rub one out while watching Swordfish; but if I mention Kellita Smith or Carla Campbell it's EEEEW GROSS! And not, "YAY BOOBIES!"

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

those who thought this was going to be a thread about race, hands up

 

[PhoenixDark]

I wouldn't exactly use your clearly naive friends as evidence for white people's affinity towards black people based on their skin color.

 

[Blackace]

Ah man, low blow

:lol :lol :lol

I wish we could claim Reggie...

but sadly we can't...

 

[Big Chief Crazy Cone]

Charlie Murphy better watch out.

Also, Gabrielle Union says you are wrong PD.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

I wouldn't exactly use your clearly naive friends as evidence for white people's affinity towards black people based on their skin color.

I'm just going with my own Reverend Wright-like personal experience here.

 

[The Lamonster]

Overkill.

I feel bad for him.

 

[Pterion]

DARKNESS !:lol

No Reggie? No problem

Jessica Alba, Alicia Keys...

Typo on my part.. meant who aren't light or half

 

[Diablos]

Why the hell would he dodge paying his taxes?

Some people who are really poor can try to make a fair argument, but I doubt he'd really be missing much if he wasn't trying to be evasive, he probably has millions in the bank.

 

[youta]

"Undisputed" was awesome

fuck you guys! You guys are going down!
