GOATS??
I am going to buy a nigerian dwarf goat soon. I was wondering if anybody knew of a website that tells you everything you need to know about these species such as: what food to feed them, how much food a day, where to house them, do they get along well with other pets(dogs), can they live in the house, are they dirty, what diseases can they get, how can you detect these diseases, what vet do you take them to, can they be house trained etc. Basically, I need a website that has all the information I am asking for and maybe more. Several websites would be fine too.

It has nothing to do with oppression? Discovered this on an archaelogical dig in Togo and Benin?
Rap/ hip hop may seem like a new music phenomenon but it is not. It started in West Africa centuries ago, in the regions of Togo and Benin. In these regions, there is a tribe of people where the men look very young and EVERY LAST WOMAN looks really old (like over 80 yrs old, and to show wrinkles on dark skin is very hard to do) But anyway, the women look so old because at the age of 13 they are sold into concubinage, start having kids, and build the homes, gather the food, and raise the children. The man does absolutely NOTHING. The men lie around and eat, talk, and play music. And the women do all the work.
In my opinion, this is a tradition that has been carried over from Togo and Benin.
During the Transatlantic slave trade, many of the people who were sold came from Togo and Benin. These people populated the U.S. Slaves also came from Nigeria. But they were sent to Brazil, Europe, and other places. Nigerians typically do not like Rap, and the descendants of Nigerians in other countries ALL OVER THE WORLD do not like the message or beat of rap or hip hop music. Neither do other people from other African nations.
But many people of Togolese and Benin descent do. That is why Rap is only popular in the U.S.A. It is not just a modern day cultural phenomenon. It is a passed on, generational thing.
If you don’t believe me ask any person from Nigeria, Morocco, Egypt, Ethiopia, or Somalia (or anywhere else) and see if they dislike rap. 9 times out of 9, they will say that they hate it.
They usually prefer Ethiopian influenced music such as Old Gospel music (it sounds like “Man of Constant Sorrow” from O Brother Where art thou.), blues, jazz, or something with wind , percussions and string instruments (like harps, violins, or pianos). That is the kind of music most Africans who are not from Togo and Benin like.
Rap and hip hop have spread from Togo and Benin, much like Voodoo and Hoodoo.

Does anyone know an organization online where I can forward the hundreds of nigerian scam letters I get weekly?
I heard on NPR the other day about a group who were scamming the scammers by using the contact info they sent, and saying they had money to donate to them if they would set up a mission or charity in their area. The scammers would then be advised to hop a plane to Belize or something, and be put through the same torture that they inflict on others, like endless instructions and no payoff, destinations where they were to meet someone who never shows up, etc. No food no water, no money. Anyway, I am asking because I get tired of this trash showing up in my inbox, and would like a way to forward these to anyone who is investigating the origins of the emails.
thanks

What do you think about this?
If you went to a Mexican restuarant that made all mexican dishes but was run by all white and black people and no mexicans worked there, would it still be Mexican food?
OR
Say u ordered chinese food from a place that uve never been to, and when its delivered to u some black dude gives u ur food and theres nothing to justify that a Chinese person actually cooked the food, Is it still Chinese.
Or
Ur at ur friends house who is white and his parents make dinner and they have an Nigerian dish. Even though its called Nigerian is it really Nigerian?
I think that the answer to all of these questions is no.
WHAT DO U THINK???

New goat owner. list items necessary before bringing kids home?
I recently moved into my first home in Pearl River La. We have 1.5 acres, and are quite the animal lovers with 3 adopted rat terriers and a cat. We have always liked goats, and been interested in providing our own dairy products for our small family. Now that we have some land this has become a real possibility. With research done we have decided to purchase two Nigerian Dwarf Doelings to begin.
Aside from toys, shelter fence and food what supplies would you consider mandatory to all new goat owners bringing home their first kids? And what if anything can you buy little by little as they are growing. Keep in mind we will not be breeding them until they are 1 year old.

What do you think of Christian missions that tell natives to wear clothing?
In Christian missions, it’s often customary to teach native people to wear western style clothing and to cover their bodies. Doesn’t this bring to mind the story of Adam and Eve, where Satan tells Eve to eat the “fruit of knowledge”, after which she and Adam become ashamed of their nakedness?
I’m not talking about the many good deeds Christian missionaries do, such as providing food and clothing for people who are hungry and exposed. I’m talking about instances, such as in the Nigerian missions, where native people were taught to wear clothing instead of going naked as was their tradition, and the South American missions where woman were taught to cover their breasts.
