There are two words to describe Wesley Snipes claim and the first one is Bull. The second may be looney, maybe not.

I'm tired of everytime a person of color gets into a legal jam, they cry "racism!". This is NOT the dream that MLK pursued. MLK's belief was that people should "Be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Seems to me, that is exactly what has happened to Mr. Snipes. His character, or lack of it, has gotten him into hot water with the IRS. I'm white, and if I hadn't paid my taxes for years, the IRS would be coming after me too! Mr. Snipes, you're being treated with equality! Your celebrity nor your skin color are being taken into account. It's your unpaid tax dollars that are. In my opinion, if minorities want real equality, they need to stop hiding behind their skin color for all their troubles and realize that when the rest of us have troubles, we work them out the best we can. Convicting a black man for tax evasion is NOT racism. He broke the law, he should pay. Just like the rest of us.

This only keeps the fire burning between the races and is absolutely ludicrous. It is really hard to believe that people are still using the race card.
