While eating inside a restaurant in Senegal, this one poor fellow from the streets kept coming in and asking us for money and food. He came in several times, and finally without much being said, he ended up sitting beside my friend and eating right along with us, the food off of our plates. He was a little persistent and eventually he was welcomed to join.
Now imagine this in a nice American restaurant. A stranger coming in off the street to join you at your side at lunch, and even eating from off of your plate. You would never find that in America, yet such things are actually common in that part of Africa.
This speaks to the openness to strangers that exists in Africa, and also the intense sharing that goes on between people in the region.

You are a weird mutherfucker. You claim that there is such intense sharing and openness, then proceed to show us that it took the bum a bunch of times before you fools would let him eat with you. He should have been fed right off the jump if everyone was so down. If everyone in Africa was so sharing he would'nt be a fuckin bum would he?
Here's how it really played out. the bum saw you for what you are...a mark. He is smart enough to realize that any white fool in a shirt that would fit baggy on Jabba the hutt is quite confused about his identity. He then would come to the correct conclusion that you are in fact full of white guilt, and he knew he could punk your silly as for a fuckin sammich. And you try and justify it by saying you were being open and sharing....get the fuck out of here with that shit. Do you let strangers sit next to you and eat off your plate often?? Let me guess the answer to that one.

I was just pointing out that it's a false stereotypes that blacks in Africa are slaving away working hard all day long in Africa.

Of course, if they are poor then it's on me. If it's time for dinner, they are eating on me, and that's okay with me. But my first trip I went there I wasn't staying on my own, and I was treated as a guest staying in other people's homes, and they cleaned and cooked for me and took me around all for free, as their guest. They even slept out on couches and rearranged furniture to move to other rooms in the house just to give me my own bed/and bedrooms on my first trip. It's part of Muslim etiquette that exists all over the Muslim world where Muslims live and travel.
So it just depends on what your setup is there. If you want to be on your own like I was my second and third trip, and if you are hanging with people who don't have much; then there's nothing wrong with doing things for other people. I spent plenty of money on others my second and third trip; and obviously if they were ripping me off and mistreating me then I why would I have gone back and done the same thing on my third trip, and now looking forward to a fourth trip? Think logically.
But I promise you if I wanted to I know I could spend a whole month there staying with people as a guest and they would take care of everything for me according to Muslim etiquette's and customs, as was the case on my first trip there in 2007.
