Battle of
the Babes

The king of home runs
and the women who
tells others how to
score and advice
thereabouts. I am
here to see who is
the winner if
compared side by
side.

Babe Ruth vs. Dr. Ruth

Who knows more about
scoring?

The Babe had 714 home
runs, so he is no
stranger to going
deep when up to bat,
but the other Ruth
has a book entitled
Dr. Ruth's
Encyclopedia of Sex.
Points: 2 each. This
competition is closer
than Claude Bassett
and Hal Mumme's
current relationship.

Who would you rather
have your back in a
fight?

The Babe walks with a
big stick and buys
cans of whoop ass in
bulk at Sam's. 0n the
other hand. put Dr.
Ruth between you
and your pursuers
and if you have
wheels you could out
run them. The
problem with this is
you look like a dork
no matter what. For
that, no points for Dr.
Ruth. Two for the
Babe (the dead one).

Who has the best
random quote?

Dr. Ruth on her web site
(Internet savvy
equals one bonus
point): "I am willing
to bet there are a
few gaps in your
knowledge, so why
not get a book on
sex and read it cover
to cover."

Babe Ruth: “If I'd tried
for them dinky
singles l could've
batted around .600."

Was Babe talking about
single shots, single
ladies or on the field
of play? The world
may never know. but
with blunt words like
Dr. Ruth's, she earns
the points. Points: 2
+ I 2 3 more for Dr.
Ruth. Who'd have
thunk the sex advice
lady would be doing
better then the Dr. of
Dongs?

Who is the easiest to get
a hold of?

Fifty bucks for a psychic
or a free e-mail to a
web page? I think Dr.
Ruth wins again! With
a total of 7 points,
the old lady with the
cool accent and sex
knowledge beats the
pants off of the only
guy ever to get
women while being
called Babe.

Opening doors: Black History Month is a time to reflect

"Once you understand the

Which is why l’arker encour-
ages everyone to get involved
with the festivities the month of

even become enlightened to some
of the realities. inventions and
contributions oflilack people.

A few that Parker used to il

“All of these cotiie from the

He said. not sounding sur-

know these lllII‘l‘t‘Slllltl facts like
they know who invented the tele-

low perception history created of

black people.

“IV'lainstream culture never
rewarded anyone verbally for
their contributions." he said.

(‘onseqiieiitly. this caused
warped beliefs to develop among
the status quo.

"It is perceived by so maiiy

The origins

Carter 6. Woodson implemented Negro History
Week in 1926, which eventually became Black
History Month in the 1976. Woodson chose F ebru-
ary because it included the birthdays of Frederick
Douglass and Abraham lincoln. The month is meant
to recognize the progress. richness and diversity of
the African American culture.

Though perceived. Parker said there are endless evamples of mines black peo

ple contributed to this culture.

Which is another reason why he believes Itlack History Month has somethinu

insightful to offer everyone.
