It could be argued that Wesley Snipes' view of the treatment of people of color in America made him a target of sorts. His claims of lesser treatment were seemingly affirmed after the actor was stopped by a Los Angeles police officer in 1991. The Los Angeles Times reported that Snipes alleged he was racially harassed during a downtown traffic stop.

The police claimed Snipes had stolen the car he was driving. However, it was later reported that the car was actually leased by Snipes' production company and was mistakenly reported. According to the Los Angeles Times, the actor was "forced to lie face down on the pavement, where he was spread-eagled and handcuffed while one officer kneeled on his neck and held a 9-millimeter handgun to his head."

"I'm asking them basically what did I do wrong," Snipes said at the time, "but they wouldn't tell me." Following the incident, which also led to a public press conference attended and supported by fellow black actor Blair Underwood, Snipes career drastically slowed down. 

While Snipes appeared in numerous films throughout the 90s, a majority of them weren't very well-received.
