White Men Can't Jump......But they can sure issue a Sentence

Actor Wesley Snipes found out the hard way...........Don't mess with the Feds...........

Yesterday, a federal judge sentenced Snipes to 3 years in prison for willfully failing to file tax returns. The sentence was handed down by Judge William Terrell Hodges of Federal District Court.

Mr. Snipes was convicted in February on 3 counts of tax evasion .....thus the 3 years....(plus a year of probation) and will still have to pay the government some $17 million in back taxes......

Wesley, Wesley, Wesley..........Don't you know the government has shown no mercy in regards to young, black, and successful mega stars? ( See Michael Vick.....or Barry Bonds.......or Marion Jones).

These were not even felony charges...........misdemeanors........



And Mr. Snipes got three years...........and a $17 million fine. For a misdemeanor!!!! Vick committed a felony.....and got ....what? 18 months?



I think ........over the years......this judge had seen too many films featuring Mr. Snipes beating up on white guys........ and took a personal responsibility to right a wrong shared by white Americans all across the country. "Somebody put that uppity Negro in his place."

Mr. Snipes' lawyers will appeal the case.......hoping for an acquittal ..............Or .....at the least.....a sensible sentencing.
