Decryptor:

The AK-47 is the most easiest gun to handle by even a 6 yr old kid who is given proper training. it is not as complex as you think. That's why it is a choice for child soldiers in Sierra Leone


You think Grandma Bobby Johnson can handle this recoil?

AK's are popular child soldier weapons not cos its easy to handle per se, but cos its the cheapest weapon available on the black market to war zones especially africa.

I guess Black women didn't change much in the world?

Objectively speaking....I would say Black American women were instrumental too in changing history.

An iconic photo of a black american lady attending an 'all white' school in Arkansas in light of de-segregation laws during the civil rights movement:

tivta: I have just one question to all you feminist. Are there any female inventors? I mean even 'ordinary' comb and g-string that women use a lot was invented by a man. For once I would like to see what a woman has invented to change history besides all this talk of FIRST woman to do this or do that. Its just too stale if you ask me.

50calibre: The British don't play with their tea, the easiest way to a British man's heart (I mean a typical white British) is through his cup of tea or should I say cuppa tea.

Tea is to the British what kolanuts is to the ABOKkIS.

I'm guessing this granny never actually fired that weapon, the recoil of an AK-47 is enough to throw her several feet backwards.

with that gun, she's more of a danger to herself than the intruder she's trying to fight off grin
Fixed!
BTW, These women to me didn't change anything in history.

nonxo007: These women have changed history forever by being strong, brave, and human, regardless of society’s expectations for them.

The above list is incomplete without Mary Slessor and Funmilayo Ransome Kuti. Mary Slessor was the one who stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria. If not for her, people like Psquare wouldn't have been Nigeria.

If she got arrested for indecency wearing this, I wonder what they would do with today's indecency? Kill the lady??

What of Rosa Parks?
What of Mary Slessor?

IMO, I think you should have put the picture of these women in place of the tea drinking woman and the homosexual boy's mother.
