Wesley Snipes has played a badass or two in his film career, which, it should be noted, seems to be pretty much over. But in real life? He’s sort of not. He’s grasping at straws in his tax evasion trial, blaming prosecutors for being racist in their choice of venue.
In a bid to get his criminal tax evasion trial transferred from Florida to New York, Wesley Snipes claims that prosecutors “deliberately chose the most racially discriminatory venue available,” an area that the actor claims is a “hotbed of Klan activity” and where “substantial pockets of prejudice exist.” In a venue change motion filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Ocala, Snipes claims that government lawyers are angling to get an “all-white Southern jury” to hear its case against the 45-year-old performer.
Whatever, Wesley.
Alright, alright. Knowing what I know about certain parts of Florida, I’m not going to rule out there being a small nugget of truth to his “the venue is racist” claim. But I strongly doubt the KKK is going to come get him, and I certainly don’t have it in me to either make an argument for or defend Wesley Snipes as he boohoos over getting caught for not paying his taxes.

Wesley maybe you should just try to work out a payment plan or somethin’?
uh-oh. crazy black man. i’m sure that the KKK probably has more important ridiculously racist tasks to carry out than targeting the likes of wesley snipes. cuc-koo-ka-roo.
Ha! KKK to-do list
1. frame O.J.
2. Pay Imus
3. Get Dogg a Job
4. Learn what the word evasion
5. Crash Wesley’s trail
naw seriously…. boy stop!
I’m sure they don’t care. I hear he only messes with Asian women these days so why should they even waste their gas money on this nobody?
I agree with daria. The Klan probably thought to themselves ‘F-ck Blade’.
