On the June 18, 2008 broadcast of MSNBCS's "Verdict with Dan Abrams," Conservative Talk-Show Host, Lars Larson, spoke of Michelle Obama as an ungrateful, lazy and un-fulfilled woman. Unfortunately, the host of the show, Dan Abrams, was unable to take control of the incident or reprimand his guest. Coincidentally, this would not be the first time Dan Abrams has refused to defend a Black Woman being verbally-assaulted on his show: http://youtube.com/watch?v=o45G2actM8I . When would this madness stop?!!! Would Cindy McCain, Hillary Clinton or Laura Bush be treated the same way???!!!!! Black Women are being incessantly assailed by the rhetoric of Chauvinists, without any ramifications. It is incumbent upon us to do what is necessary to protect the integrity of our women:

“Reach for the Stars”
Reach for the stars I am told in a world that has limits
In a world that does not accept me even though I exist in it
To be considered equal, I have to be at least twice as good
Lest that hatred festers again and I am hung from the wood
Do not assume when I am seen that I seek to be like you
I am being the best of me which is my expertise in what I do
My race is part of who I am and not my whole being
Knowing the best of all of me is missed if that’s all one is seeing
Reach for the stars I am told in a world that has limits
In a world that does not accept me even though I exist in it
Do not tie my hands and then expect me to swim
My chances of survival are next to nothing and slim
If I refuse to drown and still some how get there
Affirmative action gets credit or social welfare
I was told as a child that troubles do not always last
The slave mentality is not just part of the past
Reach for the stars I am told in a world that has limits
In a world that does not accept me even though I exist in it
Is it a privilege for blacks to be mixed with other races
Better hair, lighter skin and more beauty in their faces
These are actual statements that I have heard said
Hearing it come from my brothers or sisters is what I dread
When God punished Miriam, her skin was turned white as snow
No representation of innocence, beauty or purity this we know
Reach for the stars I am told in a world that has limits
In a world that does not accept me even though I exist in it
Why can I not be angry and express myself
Without needing counseling or other kinds of help
Until things are really equal and this will be a long time
I will not hold my breath or anything of that kind
Society as a whole looks down on my race
Sometimes behind my back and sometimes in my face
Reach for the stars I am told in a world that has limits
In a world that does not accept me even though I exist in it
