What happened with him?


He used to be a fairly big star, then he dropped off the radar. Now, he has resurfaced with a pretty bad reputation.

WESLEY SNIPES' career ended because of his FOOLISH remarks about black women. There is a whole thread here on it! Wesley was the GO TO black man in Hollywood and for the BW demographic UNTIL his Ebony interview! His career was in the toilet BEFORE the IRS judgment and jailtime! In fact, he was the first black actor I can remember being canceled for showing disrespect towards his core audience (black women).

So what the hell happened?

According to Snipes’ former employee, Snipes’ ego got the better of him. When he was an up-and-coming actor, Snipes befriended guys like Harrelson and Caruso who helped him get work. But as he grew more and more successful, Snipes surrounded himself with an entourage of yes-men.

There’s no delicate way to put this, but race was clearly a factor. Coming up, Snipes was told point blank that he was “too dark” to be a movie star. Studios weren’t shy about comparing his skin tone unfavorably with that of Denzel Washington. And then of course there was the incident in which Snipes was pulled over for driving while black. If Snipes had to deal with those kind of issues on his way up, you can bet he dealt with them on his way back down as well.

Some have speculated that Snipes, who very openly professed to a preference for Asian women over women of his own race, alienated himself from the black community as well.

In an interview with Ebony magazine, Snipes offended many readers with comments that repeatedly reinforced negative stereotypes about black women. When the article ran, Snipes began receiving hate mail and even death threats.

But the nail in Snipes’ movie star coffin has to be the tax issue and his resulting incarceration. Although Snipes is now a free man, he hasn’t starred

I copied all of the following after doing some hardcore research after typing the magical words in a well known search engine "Wesley snipes conspiracy " . Because I know celebrities don't go to jail unless they pissed off the elites....

Some interesting details about Wesley Snipes:

1. Father retired from United States Air Force Reserve's 315AW Charleston Air Force Base April 1998 with the rank of MSGT.

2. Connected to the Georgia-based black nationalist cult, the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors, an apocalyptic organization that preaches a ripped-from-the-X Files mélange of UFO lore, Egyptian mythology, Afrocentrism, and conspiracy theory.

3. 5th degree black belt in Shotokan karate and expert in few forms of Kung Fu.

4. Attended LaGuardia's High School of Performing Arts and S.U.N.Y. Purchase College.

5. Converted to Islam in 1985. Broke with it years later and described the experience as "a temporary lifeline that had served its purpose".

6. According to a Nuwaubian spokesperson, in May 2000, he purchased a 257 acres land adjacent to the Nuwaubian compound for use as a military training camp for the "Royal Guard of Amen-Ra.". Words of Putnam County sheriff Howard Sills about the subject: "The last thing I needed was a damn school for mercenaries right next to the Nuwaubians."

7. Highly educated and literate in the Sun Tzu's war manual "The Art of War".

8. Refers to himself as "a young prince from a long line of royalty." (ILLUMINATI bloodline???)

9. Owned an apartment nearby the World Trade Center and happened to be delayed at the gym, when the towers where hit on 9-11.

10. According to his godmother, Sylvia Jordan, he was the whistleblower of a financial ponzi scheme back in 2007, but the Florida Grand Jury kept ignoring his collaboration with NYC District Attorney?s and IRS agents.

Snipes is not being held in jail for mere tax evasion. He's obviously being regarded as homeland security threat, due his involvement with Nuwaubian cult-militia, which also supports a national movement for fighting the US IR system.
He's not a crook, nor even an ordinary guy with average IQ. It seems that, below the media radar, he's being treated as a domestic terrorist of luxury.

Not mention his odd and strong friendship with Woody Harrelson, whose father Charles Harrelson was a CIA MK-Ultra asset, hired killer and one of the backup gunmen "three tramps" in the murder's scene of JFK.

Maybe there's more about Snipes. I couldn't find any record about his father in the USAF. One thing is for sure: He's not in the slammer, ONLY for tax evasion

Well, he cheated the IRS out of millions and claimed he wasn't an American citizen as a defense. He was a big fish, and the government made an example out of him. Same as Willie Nelson.

reply

So bucktoof1978, are you saying that there is a conspiracy against Wesley Snipes? Is that why he spent time in prison? Because if that is what you are saying, I wonder if there is a conspiracy against Ronald Isley and Willie Nelson also? I ask because they spent time in prison for the same thing.

reply

And you really did take that serious?
