He obviously gave them money for the photo. Doubt he would risk contracting AIDS by paying for sex. No offense though, he’s still an ass.

contracting AIDS? actually it is the girls who are in risk of getting AIDS from him. there are many people like these who get all sorts of sexually transmitted diseases from visitors. not to mention their tradition being ruined by “help” in the form of money, cloth, etc.
why did he give them money? maybe he thought he was helping them. i don’t think he was paying for sex as it is very unlikely that the girls know about prostituition.

cool stuff

what a douche

its really cool.
i think he gave money because they were poor and didn’t have enough money.

I think he did not give them money.In Africa it is always a pleasure to welcome a stranger.African don’t do things for money first.
What is being poor?Not having a car?A house like those who think they are high above human beings?
Instead of speaking about being poor I will focus on being rich,which is being ready to serve and respecting each other instead of judging who is lower or higher or poor or rich.
I’m not racist but white people do really have something wrong against Africa.They denied the first human being was from Africa,they said Africa had no civilisation before even the inhabitants of Egypt was not black(so they want us to believe that white men once lived in Africa).Then the Great Lie came with the Evolution Theory to say that we started by being a fish in a water then an animal then a monkey and finally a human being…Try please to respect each race with its culture and belief.Judge not,because the best knowledge is to recognize you know nothing,if you think you know more,so create your own world where things will look the way you like them to..

to sobga - ive been to africa and most africans do not like visitors taking their picture because often they get nothing for it while the photographer gets money from postcards or sells the images on stock photo websites, etc. they will almost always ask for money for a photo with them. africa is poor and yes they are by nature usually very welcoming people but that does not change the fact that they need money and will do things for it.

You got me wrong.Africans are poor because you compare them with your kind of civilization.
You judge Africa on the basis of Occidental civilization.Hunting money at all cost.The hell no.
Our main goals is not money and if today we ask for it,the bill I see in the hand of those young beautiful girls is nothing in front of what that guy harvested from that picture.
The money they got is not what is going to feed them for the whole year or forever.It is just a symbol,a sign that now,we are not going to let you do think for grant or for fun a earning money from us.

I like your argumentation.But if ever you got a question about Africa,do not hesitate…

So Emmanuel, there’s only one culture in Africa and you are the expert on it? Last I heard Africa is made up of more than 50 countries, with even more cultures.
You aren’t an expert on every single African culture, and you don’t know the people in the picture, so stop pretending you have any valid insight.

“Judge not,because the best knowledge is to recognize you know nothing”

Coming from someone who is acting like he knows everything…brilliant.

So, in your arguement you mention Evolution being the “Great Lie”, then spout some drivel that would make one assume you’re a bible thumping type.

Where did the bible claim that God started it all in Africa? Just curious. You call the science that the theory of evolution uses a lie but it was the same science that dated the first human coming from Africa.

Other than that, this site needs spellcheck.

She is probably upset because though she needs the money, she must accept the fact that white people only see people as pedophiles if their own children are the victims. The girl in the picture has breasts like a 12 year old. She may be poor but not stupid.

This white guy is an asshole.
The women in the picture are in their natural environment, nothing unusual for them here. This stupid moron white fag gave them money in order to have a picture with them. What a f***g loser !

I was born african in Africa.

Western culture is blind with ethnocentrism.They judge people with their own standards.Which is a shame.Today I live in USA.What I see is people are not informed about other country or culture.They just swallow what the news tell them.

I insist not everybody does things for money.Those girls are naturally happy to welcome a foreigners.Like in my village it is always was a great moment when one or more foreigners came to us:hospitality is Africa.That is why Western Civilization took everything and called africans naives.

But things that are new today can become old tomorrow.Nothing human last forever in a high standard,except those who like the statu quo.

For those girls in picture.I wonder if the really know the value of the currency they get in hands.
Did you see their bust?Naturally beautiful and weel shaped.

Imagine them in your clothes and make up:Alek Wek will shake.

Try your best to understand people and things in their environment,not according to yours.

Not everybody got that sense of judgement.

…i mean its not like he was playing with his wang, dude just took a pic with some local girls.
