Since switching to this latest template, I haven't taken the opportunity to talk about the random videos you see on the right sidebar. This week's featured video is of the living baseball legend, Mamie "Peanut" Johnson. Taken from the website of the Negro League Baseball Players Association (NLBPA) Born: Sept 27, 1935 Right-handed pitcher Indianapolis Clowns 1953-55 Mamie, who along with Connie Morgan and Toni Stone, was one of three women to play in the Negro leagues.

For the past year or so I have noticed a steep incline in the amount of videos that are being uploaded by our sistahs instructing other Black women from everything from makeup trends to how to sew in a weave. On the home front I can tell you that my wife has spent numerous hours either at the kitchen table or curled up on our bed learning new ways to style her hair or find out the latest trends on hair braiding. Personally I find this trend very interesting because I can see it at some point developing into an ...
Matthew 7:1 is one of the most quoted scriptures in the Bible these days. Even people who do not subscribe to the teachings of the Bible will quickly whip out that passage of scripture and use it as a speed pass to cancel out any criticisms regarding their moral failings. The very Bible that most people today try to dismiss as "out of date", not relative for today, or not to be taken literally is the same Bible these individuals use to deflect criticism of their behavior. Now let's read versus 1 and 2. "Do not judge, or you too will be ...

whoa! whoa!! slow your roll, son. Godzilla? You CAN’T think Godzilla was wack. The way he used to raise up outta the ocean?! Come on. Tell me you didn’t raise up out of the tub like that at least twice. The rest of those cartoons, I’m with you. Especially Jabberjaws, which was Bruce as an extra-effiminate Curly. I hated that jawn. But Godzilla? Godzilla was the truth. And Godzukey? (What I could never figure out was whether Godzukey was Godzilla’s son or nephew or what. Was he going to grow into another Godzilla or was he going to stay that way?)

Godzilla quickly became stupid to me because it lacked the creativity to tell the same story over and over again and still keep me interested. He had no superpowers except for the fire out of his mouth. As far as Godzukey goes, I think he was just a midget.
Jabberjaw–yes, very effeminate!

Hey can anyone help me? I can’t remember the name of the cartoon, but my brother and I used to watch this one cartoon every saturday (faithfully) I remember that the male characters name was Johnny and the female’s name was Cathy (Kathy). I have looked online, but found no leads. If I am not mistakened, I think that they were also black. This cartoon had to come out anywhere between the lte 60’s, 70’s, and early eighties.
