There's no equivalency, so your phrasing is completely senseless.<br /><br /> I think you're actually pretty smart, so I can't understand why you resent the struggles of black people and news reporting about it. If you don't like international news, and you don't want to know what's going on in the world, nobody is forcing you to read about it.
