By now you might have heard that Wesley Snipes is currently on trial for tax evasion charges. If not, well, then you just don’t appreciate the Blade movies, which means you have no taste in movies. Well, with the exception of the third Blade movie. That one just sucked donkey balls. Here’s your Wesley Snipes on Trial update (cue theme music!): Snipes wants the court to move his trial out of central Florida because he believes it’s too racist. No, really. Here: “In a motion filed Monday in U.S. District Court, Snipes’ lawyer argued that the U.S. Attorney’s Office willfully selected the Marion County seat of Ocala because prosecutors “deliberately chose the most racially discriminatory venue available to the government with the best possibility of an all-white Southern jury where Snipes has never resided.” See? Now you can add Florida to the group of people out to get Wesley Snipes because he’s just too cool for them to handle.
But wait, there’s more!
The motion, which seeks to have the charges dismissed or the trial moved to New York, describes the area as “a hotbed of Klan activity where the Klan adopted highways to commemorate the Klan and the Confederate flag flies over government property.”
You know, for a guy who has starred in a dozen action movies and once had his own bodyguard training camp, Wesley Snipes sure is acting uber lame lately.
