Wesley Snipes released today.

Wesley Snipes has been released from prison after serving three years in prison on a tax evasion conviction. He was transferred to the New York Community Corrections Office which will oversee his home confinement for the remainder of his sentence. Ironically, Snipes is being released smack dab during the last days of tax filing season. Go figure! <a href=http://newsone.com/235719...ase-taxes/" width="398" height="265" />

Right on, Snipes. And I'll forgive all that 'Blade' silliness because you were so awesome in Jungle Fever and Mo' Better Blues. wink

He was found guilty of misdemeanor tax evasion(failure to file) and probably should have done some time but i think his sentence was excessive.

Its kinda crazy that some people commit sexual assault or some other heinous crime and do less time than he did.

Wesley is one of the lucky ones. Sometimes convicts get released in their prison jeans and shirts or a grey jumpsuit. On top of that they sometimes carry their paperwork in those big yellow mail envelopes.

Ive seen convicts months after their release still wearing them prison clothes.

Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon.

I can't understand how a guy goes from movie star to prison, and doesn't have an apparent drug issue! How do you let yourself get that far gone? There HAS to be a way to avoid prison.

Although, he probably went to a country club place.

That's because you don't F with the IRS.

Mobster Al Capone went to jail for not paying taxes. He didn't go to jail for his other deadlier dealings.

Capone was convicted on federal charges of tax evasion in 1931 and sentenced to federal prison; he was released on parole in 1939.

You ain't lying !

That's the thing i don't understand about people like Wesley, Lauren Hill, Fat Joe and Stephen Baldwin. Thinking you can beat the IRS in this day and age is delusional. They should realise that the tax man is gonna come for that ass.

Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon.

What did Wesley say about black women?

This is part of it:

Wesley says he realizes that there are Black women still who get an attitude about Black men with Asian, White or Hispanic women. “I know we’ve all been hurt, and we’re all very wounded,” he says, addressing Black women. “We have to acknowledge that, both male and female, in the Black experience. We’re a wounded people. And we want to possess and we want to own. We don’t want to compromise. We feel like we’ve compromised enough. But in any relationship you have to compromise. There’s no way around it. And I say to Black women also, Brothers who are very, very successful, or who have become somewhat successful, usually it’s been at a great expense, unseen by the camera’s eye….

“He doesn’t want to come home to someone who’s going to be mean and aggravating and unkind and who is going to be `please me, please me.’ He doesn’t want to come home to that. He doesn’t want to come home to have a fight with someone who is supposed to be his helpmate. So it’s very natural that he’s going to turn to some place that’s more compassionate…. You’ve worked hard and you deserve to come home to comforting. And usually a man who has that will appreciate it. Because I’ve never known one cat, all those cats I’ve hung out with and still hang out with, who found something that they really, really like and didn’t go back to it. They all go back. It’s very simple.”

When asked for clarification, Snipes emphasizes that he is not saying that a Black woman can not be that type of woman a man wants to come home to. “Not at all,” he declares. “Absolutely not. That’s the point. I want to come home and I don’t want to argue. I want to be pleasing, but if I ask you to get me a glass of water, you’re going to say, `Them days is over.’ please. Come on,” Wesley says. “A man likes that. I don’t know why. It’s been that way forever. It makes him proud, you know, like when the guys come over and your lady comes out with a tray of food and says `I made this up for you.’ And the guys are like, `Oh man, you’ve got a great woman.’ And the man says, `Yeah, I do.’ A man will appreciate it when you’re kind and when you’re nice.

“For successful women, it’s hard,” he continues, obviously quite comfortable and articulate on the subject of relationships. “The competition is fierce. And if he’s a man of success and power who happens to be handsome, of course you’re not the only one who thinks he’s handsome. But you don’t have to punish him because of that once you get with him. Don’t punish him because somebody else likes him.”

Continuing with his openness, Snipes says he’s had his heart broken more than once, and at times by Black women. “Most definitely. Most definitely,” he says.
