Growing up, I was always taught that until I walk a mile in another person's shoes, I should not assume I know more than them about what they experience. To me, any white person complaining about what Michelle Obama said in that speech is doing just that, assuming they know more than black people about what black people experience in this world. That is wrong on every level. The graphics you posted illustrate that very well. If only the people who need to see them would open their eyes and see them.
