Peter Noel is an ass. Al Sharpton is an ass! Mark Green is an ass! Freddy Ferrer is an ass!
You know who rocks? Me, thats who! Because I tracked down all the Sean Delonas cartoons cited in the article for your personal enjoyment.
You know who else rocks? Sean Delonas, of course. Heres more Al and Freddy bashing:
One massive blob??
BWWWWAHAAAAAA!!!
Beyond the remarkable talent & humor this cartoonist obviously has?
People from outside the metro-NYC area, who're not familiar with Sharpton?
We're wondering...does Sharpton really have an excess flatulence problem?
"Can anyone think of an actionable nuisance we haven't touched on today?" asks Professor Fried.
"What about black people moving into a neighborhood?" suggests Mark Joseph Green, liberal Democrat of Cornell University and Great Neck, New York.
A thoughtful discussion ensues. Henry Sanders looks at me. We five blacks in fact all look at each other. Our faces betray little. In any case, the privileged young white scholars are oblivious. There are legal arguments to be mustered, pro and con. The discussion of whether or not the mere presence of blacks constitutes an inherent nuisance swirls around the five blacks. We say nothing. We cannot dignify insult with reasoned rebuttal. The choice is between ventilated rage and silence. We choose silence.
Let me defend Mr Green here for a minute.
1. Superciliously droning he may have been, but the professor was addressing a very practical question with respect to what might define of a tort. Any lawyer looking for a potential fee takes seriously the saying, Where there is harm there is a tort. Mr Green threw out an interesting possibility, where the judicial concept of a possible tort (a question involving harm and culpability at an individual level) is at least superficially inconsistent with a legislature's expression of a popular desire to correct a social injustice. All the more interesting because it would be titillating in the "liberal" legal community.
2. Green could have asked, "What about white crackers who put couches on their porches moving into a neighborhood?" Maybe in Georgia that might have immediately started the class thinking, but in Harvard the concept of couches on the porch would first have to be explained and then justified as not simply being a completely unrealistic hypothetical.
3. That the five black said nothing suggests either that they had no inkling of the practical importance of the discussion (i.e., tort actions = $$, not necessarily justice), or that they were so emotionally disoriented by the provocative framing of the question that they were unable to think on their feet. In any case, they did not demonstrate that day what it takes to be an efficient shark, er, attorney.
Avoid Al Sharpton like the black sores that form on your skin when you're infected with cutaneous Anthrax
Sounds to me like the Green people took lessons in trashy campaign tactics straight from the NAACP.
Notice how any election not won by the candidate supported by the radical black faction is now "tainted"?
