Actor Wesley Snipes fights effort to ground him in U.S.

Film star Wesley Snipes didn't detour to Dubai for pleasure last year but for business, his lawyer said in a court filing today.

Just more money taking advantage of our system. If he was white I'll bet things would be different, he would already be in prison...

[george Wiggins]

that boy needs to be in jail.

[Nancy]

I think we should just promote him to fill one of the Treasury's empty seats with Geitner.... After all - they are two peas in a pod... Why should Snipes have to go to jail, and Geitner becomes the head of our Treasury - both did not pay their taxes!?

[Pride of Cucamonga]

He needs to turn in that bright yellow pimp suit for a bright orange jump suit.

White, black, pink, orange or green, he's a fool if he comes back at all. I wouldn't. That black guy, Roman Polanski - the black pedophile movie director - he took his black butt to France and hasn't returned even after he was convicted of being a child molester in California.

Ummm... I hate to burst your bubble, but Roman Polanski is white.

boy defines your character. Wesley Snipes is a beautiful black man that did not pay his taxes. but white america owes him more than that since this country was built on the backs of slaves...

So, you're suggesting that because he's black, he should go free? Are you excusing all black crime, or just that crimes done by "beautiful" blacks? Doesn't black America owe him something, too? Why just white? This is a United country, one that was built by the efforts of many people - Whites and Blacks. Ever heard of the Declaration of Independence? How about Lincoln's Address? God Bless America, now more than ever.

Really? Go figure. I thought only a black guy could be so evil and commit such heinous acts and get away with it. What did Snipes do? Income tax evasion? I thought that was a white crime? S/hit! I get so confused with all these racists rants. Thinks for pointing out that Roman is white guy, sucker.

We owe him for the years he was a slave, which was zero, so that is what we owe him. He made 13.5 million in a few years, that is one black man that did not allow history from 200 years ago to hold him down. Now if the rest of you would do the same, we wouldn't have any issues. We would have a much better country, and not have to live with a bunch of whiney cry baby, gimme, gimme, you owe me welfare recipients.

[Freddy]

Leave him alone. He's been through enough.

Apply the Rangel Rule: Pay the back taxes and forget about penalties, interest, and jail time.

What kind of country jails its own citizens for unpaid debts? What kind of monstrosity have we become?

[AMF]

Why should he the Treasury secretary didn't pay his. Maybe he should be appointed to Obama's cabinet he meets the first qualification, not paying taxes!!!!

[ThankYOU]

So it was right to buy them and enslave them further? If someone white stole you from your mother, sold you to a black woman - in your case, you would have been better off considering what your mother taught you, nonetheless, should buyer and thief be above reproach?

Black, white, everyone is entitled to the appellate process. Bernard Madoff, a white guy, helped bring down the world economy and he's out on bond. And he pleaded guilty.

That's not fair! You're being logical. This is a rant board for mindless racists.

[slipnot]

He was over there with the Bush family and other major Republicans. Leave him alone, it's un-American and racist. Rich people are allowed not to pay taxes!!! Now Shat up and vote for McCollum for Governor you little sheepish nats!

Oh yeah, this boy was a slave. He may be black, but he's not beautiful or honest.
