@68–Proudly South African. Please do not call people dumb. Ignorant, yes. Naive, yes but not dumb. I think it’s ignorant that you wrote Chinese people wear Kimonos when in actually it is a Japanese tradition.
And Travis is a great U.S. Ambassador for the HIV/AIDS awareness in South Africa. But I’m going to have to agree with Hassandagreat that not many positives showcase Africa’s true beauty. There are many wealthy and gorgeous places in Africa. Can’t wait to visit.

You know JUDAH I didn’t want to believe what you’ve said about Mandela in previous posts, but my sister who’s currently in RSA just made me realize his prison number (which has been venerated btw) is 46664. If that doesn’t open someone’s eyes I don’t know what will. Numbers are everything to the elite, especially that number which was assigned to him during his sentence. It makes sense now as to why all the celebrities flock to go see him, Lord knows what type of rituals they’re engaging in. Oh and btw the girls in Oprah’s school are getting molested on the regular. The American media outlets just dont cover it.

He’s amazing for doing this and to the people who have an issue with the girls topless, its theyre culture leave them alone and travie is not bad for being there. Hes accepting it, i think it would have been an insult if had told them he couldnt because he of that. And with his tattoos, STFU, This has nothing to do with this goddamn tattoos. And for your info his Gauges (EARS) some african cultures find that acceptable and it seems fit for him being in Africa.
Ps. i love him and everything his does. GCHs will always be one of my favorite bands.

#17 isnt that the whole point of culture people having different beliefs and systems???? It is their custom so asking them to cover up for your sake is insensitive . Why assume that covering up is norm there? It’s not Like Travis was salivating at the girls…geee now if it was R.Kelly going over there…then I would see the alarm.
