Damn, Wes!

Why couldnt they just make him pay it….the system always so quick to lock somebody up. They act like he out there killing people.

ol big dummy, just pay the taxes, yo got the money, i wish i had the money to even have to pay 2.7 million,what an idiot

I just got through reading this on yahoo and I was like I thought he got cleared on these charges but it was some other charges like tax fraud and 4 other charges. 3 years of no damn straight to DVD movies…what am I gonna do on the weekends?

Don’t worry Wesley about being somebody bitch, everybody saw ‘To Wong Foo’

White folks want us to know, no matter how high you climb, we pullin’ ya’ll’s asses down every damn time. What he did was wrong, but 3 years plus payment. Take heed…Y-T ain’t playing.

Good, I just had to cut a check to pay my taxes last week and I don’t make that much money. Wesley Snipes makes a ton of money and he should have been paying taxes like everyone else. I am tired of the rich catching breaks.

Bump that! Taxes are too damn high.

If he was the color of his wife, I believe in my heart like mother love, he would have gotten 2 days in that bitch.

Cops in my town of NYC gunned down an unarmed man name Sean Bell, they will probably get less time, if even convicted, then Wesley.

Damn Nuccka!

I COULD CARELESS ABOUT HIM, JUST AS HE COULD CARELESS ABOUT BLACK WOMEN…..KARMA IS BITCH….

P.S. DON’T DROP THE SOAP…LOL

wow!

this ain’t a white or black thing. that dumb fool should have paid his taxes. the gov’t is already watching his ass already, why make it harder on yourself?

THA’TS WHAT YOU GET WESLEY, I DON’T FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR ASS AT ALL!

good night all.

#5 i feel the same way. why should he get breaks and he is rich? he deserves whatever he gets…

his kids are adorable!

Ooops!

…and LMAO at #3

i HATE THIS BASTARD!! HE IS THE ONE THAT ABUSES OF HALLE! KARMA IS A BITCH!

well thats what happens when you being stingy with your money
remember kids pay your taxes

That’s exactly what Wesley Snipes get! You were not thinking of your family moving money out of country illegally. Hope he has time to reflect inside.

I don’t feel bad for Wesley although he had Denzel and em write character statements for him. He should have paid his taxes he got the money. Nino Brown has gone down.

LOL his wife look like LaToya Jackson (the fine version)…I’ll play stepdaddy while you locked down homie

omg!!! that really sucks but at the same time he should pay his taxes!!! everyone else do!!!

What up Dame!!! What happened to that “Don’t talk to me you know better”…Jay-Z is a trip lol

Damn………..They got Nino Brown……..rock-a-bye baby.

this is that gov’t where bush and his gangsters have robbed america mob style, right in front of our faces. and w/ the air arrogance to let you know there is nothing you [americas] can do about it. where is the tax money on that 363 tons of cold hard cash that was under the guidance of paul bremmer that disappeared in iraq? 12 billion dollars that just vanished in thin air. and no ones held accountable. tell that judge who sentenced snipes go after the real crooks. but anybody who else crosses this gov’t will pay except the THEIVES IN THE TEMPLE this gov’t. is like the fox guarding the HEN HOUSE . its a damn shame . but like john gotti if you beat the system once you’ve might have won the battle, but the war is not over .they will get you.

@J.Lewis since I forgot my password I have to type my name in all the time and I been typing it all day my fingers are numb lol.

U know I adore Jay yes I am a stan. Yes Jay is a mess u know he gangsta!!

Should’ve paid his damn taxes…Sucks for him.

Concrete I can’t respond to your poll. If there was a choice such as: Yes, he should pay his taxes however the sentence was harsh. Jail time away from your kids/wife AND 5 million!? The judge (I am sure is not Black) is VERY jealous that a Black man has more money than he probably will ever have. It’s not fair how Black ppl get harsh sentences. I hope the judge REAPS what he has SOWN.

I wonder what Halle’s reaction was after seeing this piece of news…

I seen this on CNN, he told the court his advisor told him he didn’t have to pay taxes. I want to know what made him believe that and then repeat it. He knew he had to pay taxes, they putting Ronald Isley in jail for he know he going. Martha Stewart went to jail something more stupid than this so he should of knew he was going.

Ha thats what that stupid white loving N gets.Toss all them Whitey loving N,s in there with him.

They were not wrong for their sentencing. I mean he committed a crime and now he has to pay the consequences. It’s too bad though because he has a family.

HAHA

Feel sorry for him that the judge gave him the maximum, but at the same time I thinking that someone as prominent as Wesley Snipes should have known better. How could he possibly feel that he could get away without paying taxes on all the money he makes. He could at least have taken the chance and made up some bogus deductions and had them denied… but not to file??? makes the man wanna say: Negro who art thou?

What goes around comes around. Abusive punk. Messed Halle ear up and everything. Wrong behavior never goes unpunished even if it is years later. Karma will always come back.

Don’t know if I would have used Woody Harrelson as a character witness.

he gets no sympathy from me with his self-hating ass. this should show you that no matter how proper your dialect, how much you hate the black cootchie you came out of and black women in general, and how much you love them crackas you’re still a nigger!

good luck motherfucker, hope your shit hole is nice and firm with your black ass!

I guess he shouldn’t have “bet on black.”

I totally agree with number 4. Remi Ma, Foxy Brown, Lil’Kim, Mike Tyson, Tu-Pac…and that’s just to name a few. Your black a@! better act right if you’re rich. W T don’t appreciate black folk that make more money than them. Although Wesley should’ve filed his damn taxes. I just can’t get over the year per missed “filed” taxes. Hell I can take them to a boatload of white and black folk that haven’t filed their taxes for like 4 years.

…. he didnt think about his family when he was fucking wiff uncle sam // maybe he can think about halle’s eardrum while he is in there … i also heard that denzel wrote a letter to the judge on his behalf lololol…..ok denzel mayvbe the judge never seen any of your movies or maybe he did lololol

He was originally facing 25 years… so 3 is not so bad.
Bottom line, whether you agree with the law or not, you ain’t above the law.
Only 2 things sure in this world.. death and taxes.

I don’t feel sorry for him. Heck, I have to pay my taxes and he makes waaaayyyy more $$$$ than I do!

I’m sure he’s gonna get Jean Strahaned by his wife too. Womp womp

AHHHHAAAHHHAAA. WHAT WOULD BUDDAH DO?

Hmmm…

Remember that money he made from that crappy movie, “Undisputed” with Ving Rhames..LMAO!

Should have paid taxes on that too.

As a matter of fact, can I get my $10.00 back that I paid to see it?

Maybe he’ll become the boxing champ in federal prison now?

Life imitating art.

I had to pay taxes this year. I hated writing that check to the IRS. But you know what…I did it? It doesn’t matter if I think taxes are unfair or too high. That is irrelevant at this point.

One thing about the IRS…they will get their money. Either voluntarily or they will take it from you!!! Period!!!

Marc Anthony was in trouble with the IRS last year. I think he owed $5mil. He said he THOUGHT his accountants were filing his taxes. But when he found out they weren’t and that he owed the IRS…he paid them. He didn’t try to get out of it like some people. As a result, Marc Anthony is at home with his wife and newborn twins!!!

I hope this serves as a warning to other celebs who think they can get over on the IRS. They will get their money one way or another!!!

Wow it’s funny how it’s Bush’s fault Wesly didn’t pay his taxes. You have to pay your taxes. All you obama folk should understand ( where do ya’ll think his is going to get all this money for the so call “free health care” ) The real crime is why R kelly and that little girls parents aren’t in jail, or why a convited drug dealer is caught with illiegal gun and is sentence to talk to kids. I bet his speech is like” yea I made money selling drugs, yea I got kids by everybody, yea I do drugs…. what was I say, Oh yea stay in school” I say commit a crime go to jail do not pass go, dont sit in your house on house arrest. Mc Cain 08

yes a crime is a crime. i know he should have paid his taxes but you got white girls out here drinking under the influence of drugs and alchohol and all they get is a slap on the wrist and a stint in rehab. i by far am not a wesley snipes fan being that he is not a fan of mine(hint my name) but i still think everyone should be sentenced according to their crime. period

Oh damn, so Wesley was the one who beat Halle? I feel no sympathy for him (not that I did before).

If Uncle Sam has his hand so far down my pocket that he’s elbow deep, then why should Wesley dodge the responsibility?

Snipes is going to jail because hes famous the prosecutors wanted to make an example of him because hes a high profile .So in other words his going to jail is getting special treatment.

BIG STUPID DUMMY!! ah ha thats what u get when u think ur 2 big 4 the law, take that SELL OUT!!!

the Government cares more about money than they do human lives. if he had killed someone he would have gotten less time than that

OH WELL WHAT HE GET.HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING ANYWAY I NEVER LIKE HIS ASS ANYWAY CUZ HE WAS ALWAYS DOWNING BLACK WOMAN SAYING HE WOULD NEVA DATE US CUZ WE TOO GHETTO etc……… NEGRO PLEASE

He ain”t nothing but a hasbeen and deserves to go to jail.

I’m with you on that one #8!!

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT AND ALL THOSE WHITE DEVILS UP IN THERE THAT COMMIT CORPORATE CRIMES ON A DAILY BASIS. ALL OF THOSE DEVILS SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL FOR SLAVERY AND DISCRIMINATION TO BLACKS. WHERE THE FUCK IS MY 40 ACRES AND A MULE YOU FUCK BITCHES? THIS IS WHY AMERICAN IS THE MOST HATED COUNTRY AROUND THE WORLD AND MUTHA FUCKAS WANT TO COME OVER HERE AND BLOW US THE FUCK UP. IT’S BECAUSE THIS BACKWARDS ASS RACIST COUNTRY IS RUN BY STUPID ASS CORPORATE WHITE THUGS WHO DON’T KNOW SHIT AND WANT THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD TO BE LILLY WHITE. FUCK YOU PECKER WOODS!! FREE WESLEY SNIPES!!

MILLIONAIRES WHO WON’T PAY TAXES….E! TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY

HE’S THE REASON HALLE BERRY IS PARTIALLY DEAF—WOMAN BEATER!! WE’LL SEE WHO GETS BEAT NOW…THE BIG HOUSE AIN’T NO JOKE, YOU WORTHLESS IDIOT!

Wow. He should have been paying his taxes, but I feel that 3 years In PRISON is a bit much…

I think he got the maximum because he had failed to pay over a long long time…It wasn’t like he didn’t pay by the 15th or failed to get on a payment plan. He just refused to pay and the man stuck it to him. I guess it wasn’t enough to ruin his credit.

Better start on Blade 100-200 you gonna need the money!

damn..idk how i feel about this one..i mean, locking him up like he’s a murderer//rapist?? or how bout r kelly ass still free as you and me?? idkk man..the man is busy..lol

Hell, if I gotta pay taxes with my broke @$$ everybody should!

There are people doing much worse than not paying taxes and getting much less time. Anyone remember the all the young celebutantes and their DUIs? Little Miss Hilton ring a bell to anyone? Lionel’s daughter? Well, they could have KILLED SOMEONE, themselves included, and they get to take a picture and check right out. But Wesley has to give Uncle Sam the money, so why should he have to do three years too?

lol @ you guys, this isn’t a conspiracy to bring another black celeb down. if you dont pay the IRS, they will take you down.

an old friend was self employed and never reported her earnings cause she felt the government would never find her out. she didnt file for years and ended up getting 2 years in prison. point of the story is no matter who you are, you better pay your taxes cause the government will take your ass to the cleaners.

i’m more annoyed with wesley as a rich man thinking he’s above the law, i hope he enjoys prison!

Not to play the race card….but um, if he wasn’t as dark his ass is, he wouldn’t be there no damn three years… “try to make an example” my ass

and i wonder how long wifey will be with him now that he’s getting lockedup?

DID HE THINK HE WAS GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT??

I LIVE IN LONDON AND EVEN I KNOW YOU DON’T PLAY THAT, GREEDY ASS.

TAXES ARE TOO HIGH, BUT GOING TO PRISON IS A HIGHER COST. FUCK THAT! AND U DIDN’T KILL, RAPE OR KIDNAP ANYONE?

IDIOT.

HAHAHHA @ JSCENE “HE DON’T CARE ABOUT BLACK WOMEN.”

THAT’S NOT WHY HE’S GET PUNISHED.

Wesley Snipes is a “tax denier.” He belongs to a group of people who believe that there is nothing in the Constitution that requires people to pay taxes and that the IRS itself is an illegal agency. Tax deniers set up bogus companies and, like Snipes, send money to off-shore accounts. He didn’t just fail to pay millions in taxes, he actively tried hide his money. He ain’t like the rest of us, he better.

He didn’t get the three year sentence becuz he’s black. He got it becuz he’s a famous actor and the judge wanted to make an example that people would notice. Federal judges hate tax deniers; the judges have to pay taxes and their records are made public.

I’ve represented a few of these people in court and they just don’t get that the law applies to everyone, equally.

Okay, my rant is over.

Damn, the mafia got him. No he shouldn’t get 3 years in jail, nowhere in the law does it state that you have to pay income taxes. He got pimped.

Now I am all about the law….but they didn’t have to give him the maxium sentence, since he never been in any other trouble….as I always the system is set up for African Americans to fail already so why do something thats going to increase your chances….lesson learn PAY YOUR TAXES! PPL

After reading the majority of the comments I have to say most people don’t know their basic rights. If this case would have went to the supreme court, most likely he would have been acquitted. There’s no law anywhere, constitution or IRS handbook that says we have to pay taxes. They charge taxes on almost everything we buy i.e. gas. The tax they receive from gas is supposed to go toward the building of roads, that includes the upkeep. So, in essence, I ain’t paying shit if I don’t have to.

#2 & 5, you both sound ignorant as hell. HE BROKE THE LAW. You’re acting as if he got served an unfit sentence like 40 years or some shit. Stop making EXCUSES for OUR ppl and their bad bhvr. He fucked up and now he gotta pay… just like anybody else. It wasn’t about him being black or “the white man” so stop being delusional and wake the hell up.

Also to Jawn… wtf r u smoking LMAO? You can’t have crimes WITHOUT laws, jackass. Do you think if the BULLSHIT you are saying is true… his lawyers wouldn’t have used that argument and he would be sitting pretty at home? I think you’re a little confused BUT there is A LAW stating EVERYONE with income has to file taxes. Either they take it out of your check and you get a rebate later OR they take out even more after you file…. YOU STILL HAVE TO FILE your taxes with the possibility you’ll pay. Get it? Got it? Good…. Since you’re so sure about this theory, let’s test it. I purpose contacting the IRS to investigate you (just because you sound like you don’t file taxes). If my assumption is right and you haven’t been filing… they’re gonna arrest your ass. Once they do I want you to remember your theory and test that in an actual court (if you are ordered to pay back taxes). If you aren’t convicted, I’ll pay your damn taxes… for life. If you ARE, I’ll just laugh because I was right. How about that?

Guess what came back to bite you in the ass?! He made all those disrespectful comments about black women, putting us down and saying Asian women were better. Let’s see who stands by him now…lol! They all bite the dust after they disrespect us, first OJ, Rodman, then Kobe, now Wesley…lol…Tiger better get ready cause he is next. Oh, P.S. - Billy Blanks chick kicked his ass to the curb.

Hmmmmmm, karma is a bitch!

I was shocked to see what a large portion of the property taxes on my condo goes to fund the schools since I do not have any kids in school. Wesley Snipes has kids.I know he can afford to privately school them. but he may be more than a little selfish. People who work for minimun wages have to pay taxes. Who is to pay for the upkeep of the community, the Iraq war,? why do the little people have to carry the heavy load all the time.

i tink 3 yrs is 2 much

Damn Wesley! He went to my high school and he aint representin J-High right!!!!

Mr_K

Let me reiterate my comment for the laymen-such as yourself. In the IRS handbook, there’s no law that says income tax is mandatory, not even in the constitution. Legally the govt can’t put a price on wages, you dumb broad. What the govt is basically doing is charging you for working. The 16th amendment is kind of vague but the supreme ruled that it was referring to Corporate wages not individual wages. So, when it’s all said and done, Tax courts overruling a supreme court ruling and enforcing a fraudulent law. Also this is coming from someone who has done research on the subject, unlike yourself, clearly. Anyway, continue being an unlawful abiding citizen like a good little idiot.

Another thing, taxes you pay on your income don’t go towards paying things like schools and prisons. GOT THAT?

There are two things in life that you do not mess with…GOD and the IRS. Woooooooow!

Wesley Snipes probably is not going to do a day in prison, them bastards want they money and he paid them at the sentencing, Snipes’ lawyers will appeal and he’ll get off with probation, he not finna do years for some misdemeanor bullshit…….at the end of the day it’s all about money, they got it so they are straight……….What surprise me is all the big time media attention it’s getting….I’m pretty sure Donald Trump have done a lot worse…..

What an idiot. Everyone else out here has to pay them, what the hell makes him so special. Damn right they should have given him the max. That’s alot of money right there. Our economy has gone to hell, we can use that money

whatever the IRS handbook says

if my AMERICAN GANGSTER/GREAT DEBATORS/INSIDE MA/ MAN OF FIRE/ DEJAVUE/TRAINING DAY ACADEMY AWARD WNNING Denzel Washington can pay his taxes…

then ur DISAPPEARING ACTS/ BLADE/ NEW JACK CITY ass sure can.

kmt, ur not that great.

errrrrrrrr… i don’t wish prison on anyone, but ur an idiot..

my sister lives in Queens with her 5 year old son, living in one bedroom apartment, working in Bronx BBQ and she fucking pays her taxes so you can too, idiot.

no sympathy over here!

Ya’ll need to shut your ignorant asses up with that white/black bull crap. Your dumb ass is required to pay taxes as well, you should be mad at him not paying them. People like ya’ll is what keeps racism going.

What reason does he have to not pay his taxes??

Smh, he should’ve know the IRS is no joke when they sent Ronald Isley old ass to jail

Here is a summary of why Snipes was wrong:
http://resipsablog.com

I don’t feel sorry for Snipes…this is the same bruh that called all black women golddiggers and then turned around and bought his asian girlfriend a restaurant…like her ass would have been sucky sucky if he hadn’t.
He better learn how to sleep standing up and never drop the soap.

I bet a Black Wife would have remind him to pay the tax!

AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAA @ 84

“I bet a Black Wife would have remind him to pay the tax!”

DAM SKIPPY!

People kill me with this “IRS Handbook” nonsense, lmao. This system doesn’t have to explicitly tell it’s citizens what it wants from them in their own codified law because the judicial system is in cahoots with the legislators. You’re a buffoon if you think that the white man is not going to get his money if he wants to get his money from you. The Sean Bell cops were acquitted.

Damn, the Judicial System moves damn swift, I tell ya!!
Do I think he should have paid his taxes? Yes, don’t try to con the gov’t bc they will come back for their dues, and the “justice” that comes along with it! Not getting off subject, but that’s what I told my people about receive that “Katrina Money” (FEMA funds) the wrong way. Do I think many of us deserved it? Yes, but many of us (generalizing, here) didn’t. Those of you that didn’t lose a godd#@n thing! No water, wind damage, nothing was wrong with ya shit, that’s cold. And yet you collected. Took the money like a dirty dog and made it bad for those of us who lost not only material things, but FAMILY. But anyways, damn near 3 years, and people still jivin’

But, Wesley couldn’t afford an accountant? what’s really good? They know how to catch the out-of-work black actors, huh? Cause I know Matthew Mac, Rob DeNeiro, and all them prob owe some shit to and they just haven’t been caught. But, three years is a bit much. But for 10 years or so of non-payment, come on. I guess ya gotta pay the Pied Piper some day.

Hey, speaking of Tax Evasion, does anyone have an update on Ronald Isley?

why does every time i try and do a poll, it tells me that i have already answered??? wtf….

Damn Wesley!!!! You are my dude too! The judicial system aint playing at all no more with celebrities. I’m sorry to hear that Wesley, keep ya head up and i hope lessoned learned. You see they got Ronald Isley, Red Foxx on their taxes, you can mess with Uncle Sam.

PHILLYJAWN is right! Nowhere does it state that we HAVE to pay taxes, its UNCONSTITIONAL…Its obvious that the majority of these people don’t know shit when it comes to issues like this so thats why they keep fucking you! Maybe you guys should look up Sherry Peel Jackson, a black former IRS agent who failed to file her taxes because it was unconstitutional was sentenced to prison on some bullshit! I doubt Wesley is being an idiot, hes trying to buck the system..Maybe the uneducated should log off concreteloop and read up on your rights and fight back as well!

I agree Philly Jawn! The gov’t fleece’s the American people with the evasive tax law, and Wesley should have known better. Also, no one has ever won against the gov’t regarding not paying taxes.

That’s some real BS. How much time did Martha do for inside trading? Paris & Nicole? ANd this just in today, cops shot an innocent man 50 times, but all were acquitted on all charges, ad fround not guilty, but Wesley does three yrs for not paying taxes….some real BS I tell you…

Damn it’s messed up that kick ass Sidney “Syd” Deane aka Nino Brown aka Romello Skugs aka Detective Harlan Regins is gonna be playing the role of Noxeema Jackson for 3 straight years!! I know he was wrong for that, but damn he don’t deserve all of that!! They should have made Wes pay the $5 mill & given him probation. I wonder what’s gonna happen to his new movie “GallowWalker”?

It is some bs…T.I, a convicted felon, gets 1 year community service…WESLEY SNIPES get3 years for 3 counts of tax evasion..doesnt seem right!

Even if you don’t like Wesley Snipe, 3 years in jail for not filing taxes is extreme. The people who were doing his taxes misled him. Put this is context, people get more time for taxes than child abuse. Silly

# 75 PHILLYJAWN SAID:

“there’s no law that says income tax is mandatory, not even in the constitution.”

You are ABOLOUTLY correct! I URGE all of those who do not believe to do your research; please read the constitution and you will surprise. I discovered this years ago. Unfortunately many people are not aware of it.

Most people who are brought up on the same charges are eventually dropped. Maybe these are more to the charges than they are telling the public. I suggest Snipes get a better lawyer.

Typo correction: ABSOLUTELY (sorry)

DAMN SNIPES!!

You people don’t do any type of corroboration when it comes to stories you hear. Straight KNEE JERKin fo life!

Taxes are essentially bullshit and the entire process needs to be overhauled. You pay taxes on everything you buy. And THEN they require you to pay them more at the end of the year. Remember Taxation without representation? This is the same thing those plymouth rock fukkers LEFT ENGLAND FOR!!!!!!!

If more people would say no to this tax, the system would be forced to change.

The Government ALWAYS makes EXAMPLES of black males. Keeps us in line. Blacks are 10-15% of the population, an even smaller percentage in Hollywood, yet make up quite a bit of the entertainment world’s criminal proceedings news. When the last time a prominent white actor has been brought up on anything more than disorderly person’s charges?

[...] News: Wesley Snipes Gets 3 Years [...]

@Jscene that was truly a very ignorant comment. why do you spew some much hate for him like that. he have dated black women. i.e. halle berry. in fact he is the one accused of making go half deaf in one ear. real talk. black women always want to get all hurt when a man dates someone who isn’t black, but when y’all do it, it’s like: ” You go girl! these brothas don’t know how to act anyway!” wesley should’ve paid his taxes. he put himself this situation and now he half to face the consequences. I feel so sorry for his wife and children.

The thing that bugs me is why is someone like Willie Nelson allowed to get away with the same thing. He paid back 16 Million by selling his own music…Not shocked. This is not about Wesley and his dating life. It’s about that he gets three years for something like this when others like Nelson get away with it.

Bottom line. If we have to pay, he has to pay. It’s just that simple.

his wife is asian so what’s so up with all the white lovin comments? Y’ALL ARE A BUNCH OF BIGOTS!

Wesley got caught up with one of those tax protesters. There are enough to legally minimize the amount of tax one pays, without trying to keep it all. He busted Halle’s eardrum anyway, so I have no sympathy for him.

WHATEVER ANYONE SAYS… EVERYDAY PEOPLE PAY TAXES, DENZEL WASHINGTON, FORREST WHITAKER ALL PAY THEIR TAXES, SO UNFORTUNATELY MR SNIPES, PAY UR SHIT TOO…

U KNOW WHAT TOO? IT WAS SOME BULLSHIT, CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG, LIKE HE OWED $20,000 AND HE DIDN’T PAY?

KMT

DON’T DROP THE SOAP!

WOW he shoulda snitched on someone like T.I. !!!!@!!!!

The judge says federal time is clear…meanwhile T.I. got caught with machine guns/silencers and is a convicted felon with various violent priors but got off with only a year! LOL unbelievable. If that isn’t the biggest snitch, than I don’t know what!

And Wesley shoulda claimed his Moorish sovereignty and gotten out of this mess. sov

WESTLY, damn dog you know that happens when a nigga decieves the MAN, you either get since to prison or well sent to prison!! ALL I CAN SAY IS WATCH YA ASS HOLE…damn west…prepare for stiches….sorry for the vulgarness kids!!!

WILLIE NELSON owed the IRS 16 million in unpaid taxes. However, he was never indicted or served one day in prison. He eventually settled with the IRS by paying his back taxes. Kinda makes you wonder why the IRS couldn’t offer the same deal to Wesley Snipes. “Good ole boys” looking out for “good ole boys!”

I agree we love to make EXCUSES!!

Does the IRS go after white people??????

oh i forgot to add his children are adorable!!!!!!

3 years is extreme! Any jail time for this non-violent crime is ridic

I THINK THREE YEARS IS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE. WHATS UP WITH
RONALD ISLEY? HIS ASS DIDN’T DO THE TIME FOR HIS TAX ISSUES
AND WHILE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE UNJUST SYSTEM IN AMERICA
WHEN IS R-KELLY GOING TO DO THE TIME FOR HIS DAMN CRIME? I’M SICK
OF THIS SHIT!!!

Ramses,

X to the actly.

If he had been married to an american sistah who understands what the black man CAN and CANNOT get away with, this NEVER would have happened.

Not only do black men of wealth hurt their communities by taking strange bedfellows outside the race, but as evidenced they also end up with spouses who have not lived the black life, the american life, and set themselves up for children who don’t look like them, and hurt themselves in the process.

That’s why I have SO MUCH respect for the men of rap who marry their own women and father BLACK children. They are the real heroes in the community.

florida prisons are the worst, nastiest, most hiv ridden prisons in the country. he’s screwed. when he gets out that asian chick will be gone bye bye with his money.

that fool let that asian woman advise him not to pay taxes. he knows better.

@andy don’t take this personal but that had to be the dumbest thing i ever heard.(I kinda won’t blame you if get mad but it’s the truth). Him marrying a sistah or a asian woman wouldn’t have matter because Wesley does what Wesley want to do and no woman is going to tell him how to do anything, You see what happened to Halle, deaf in one ear. If the community is hurting because he married and have children with an asian woman than that’s really sad and pathetic. Why are they so caught up in he’s doing when they need to be worrying about themselves. He ain’t hurting me because this fool ain’t putting money in my pocket, neither was he putting any money in Uncle Sam’s pocket that why he is to prison now. LOLOLOL!!!
I applaud a black man(also any man of any race) who is not only claiming but also taking care of his kids wheter they are mix or not: physical, mentally, finicially,(ETC). When i think about it, he didn’t date out side his race, we are all part of the human race. WE (meaning all the”RACES”) put emphasis on color.

A couple of things. The IRS wants its money. They’ll let you set up a payment plan. They can garnish your wages. You can hire an attorney for you who might be able to settle for less money than you actually owed. The Feds don’t really want to put you in jail, because then THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR YOU. Someone brought up Willie Nelson. Okay, he paid. Wes has obviously flat out refused to pay the government back taxes.

And please stop all this comparing one crime to the other. Unless its tax evasion to tax evasion, comparisons are just misleading. Seriously. Maybe people should be starting grass roots organizations to look at the sentencing guidelines instead of making ridiculous connections between unrelated crimes and cases.

Attorneys aren’t not prosecuting murderers and child molesters because a tax evader is in court. FYI: Lawyers who try tax cases are NOT the ones who work murders. because of the complexity of our tax code, tax attorneys are a class all by themselves.

Wesley could have petitioned for downward departure from the sentencing guidelines had he cooperated with the feds. He didn’t. He got the max. Stop crying. He wasn’t thinking about his family when he did this dumb mess.

Like #65 said there are lots of ways to keep your money ie. charitable donations or starting a foundation that will lower your taxable income. While I think Bill and Melinda Gates may be really concerned about AIDS in Africa, I think they also might have set up their foundation to get rid of some money. Money that they would otherwise have to pay taxes on. I think the work involved would be worth avoiding being made an example in court.

And I understand all this moorish stuff. I get it. You can refuse to pay taxes. But the government can choose to put your ass in jail. Simple as that.

A sistah would have made sure he got his taxes taken care of.

That’s what he get!!!! and FYI it was DAVID JUSTICE who beat the hell out of Halle not Wesley.

Isnt that something…people are shooting up the place, cops are killing innocent people, people are selling drugs in large amounts..and the majority of them get off, or dont even see a trial…BUT YOU EFF WITH THE GOVERNMENT, DONT PAY UR TAXES N ISH, AND YOU GET THREE YEARS. lol

Goes to show you where your governments priorities lie.

@123 You are absolutely wrong! She said so herself that it was a famous actor who beat the crap out of her but she said that she’ll never reveal his name (Wesley Snipes who is by the way a second degree black belt in Martial Arts).Don’t know where you getting your facts from sweetie.

If I have to pay taxes, everyone should pay taxes!

I think it is extremely sad. Why is that some Black celebs perceive that they suddenly become transparent and exist in a colourless world. Wesley Snipes did not deserve to be sentenced to three years - surely it would have been enough to make him pay the fine and do community service. But what amazes me is that they never seem to get themselves decent legal representation (except for OJ) - when one thinks about all the corporate crime taking place in Wall Street you never hear of these types of sentences. You would think he had been a manager at Enron!

I must say it was interesting to see that when difficult times hit Snipes he seemed cloaked in “Blackness” he found a Black preacher and all the Black friends he could muster (remember at NAACP Michael Jackson). Despite his love of the Asian woman I never see the wife’s family (extended ones too) showing their support - the only colour I see is usually Black. But that’s his problem. Just think back over the last few years to the types of Black people in the public eye who are arrested at the drop of a hat - when their white counterpart is cautioned, imprisioned when whites are given community service etc…Naomi Campbell, Diana Ross, Snoop Dawg etc.

I think it is very sad and I wonder if the likes of those Puff Daddy, ignorant rappers and worthless celebs look upon the judicial system and realise that they might think they have hit the mega heights but the White man sitting at the bar probably sees an enslaved African on the auction block.

It was wrong…you guys should watch the movie ZIETGEIST!!!! Then you will know the truth…
