Oprah and Others Got Served

Oprah WinfreyA whole host of celebrities have been subpoenaed for a racial profiling case that is going to occur in a Michigan Federal Court. The case, which is said to begin around September 22, has plenty of A-Listers heading to Detroit. The case was filed by Jerome Almon, who has a beef against Canadian officials.

According to TMZ, the reason for the beef is that Almon claims that Canadian officials look to black rappers as the cause for gangs and gun violence in Vancouver and Toronto. Almon claims that for this reason, black rappers are often held at the border. Almon is the CEO of MurderCap Records.

The list of celebrities include Oprah, Condie, Snoop Dogg, DMX, Eminem, Kobe Bryant, Paris Hilton, Tom Sizemore, Martha Stewart, Diddy, Jenna Jameson, Jay Z, 50 Cent, Heidi Fleiss, Spike Lee, and others. Almon let TMZ know that the white celebrities were called to show the hypocritical nature of the Canadian policies that are in place towards rappers.

After all, some of the white celebrities on the list have worse records than some rappers, yet when they head to Canada the red carpet is rolled out!

    Firstly I’m from Detroit and I’ve seen this guy he goes to the library everyday to do his work from the net for hours and he lives off his Vetern’s pension I’ve been told, strange for a guy that is meant to be some big CEO of a record company that no one knows off.

    Secondly if you google: www.murdercaprecords.com you’ll find he has no site, bit odd don’t you think! Instead you’ll find that name has been bought by someone that sells sites LOL

    Thirdly no A-list celebrity will turn up and support this Z-list no-one that they don’t know. Why should Oprah or Paris Hilton care about some guy like Jerome Almon quite frankly he better be careful in dragging these high profile powerful people into his suit as they could come after him and well for someone that can’t afford internet at home can’t see how he could afford to fight them!

    Well he may not have a criminal record but it’s down on record he was arrested twice and that his ex filed a suit against him and well if you were banned out of Canada then you must have done something! And well a country can do what they like. Well and if this PR stunt falls on it’s face well he will jus have to go back to the local Detroit Library ha ha…
