      Look no offense, the videos good at all and it has a little bit more about history, but my son is tired from seeing the video all over again by his English teacher

    Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.

    My step daughter had to watch this poem for a school assignment. While I’m watching this and looking at my white step daughter with curlier hair than the woman we are both seeing on the screen, I paused this nonsense halfway through and asked my girl a question…… “ when I ask you to fix your hair , what do you think I mean? She responded, “ to do my hair or make it look nice.” Does my step daughter’s hair make her more or less white because it’s curly? Is my daughter loved less or less attractive because her skin is white and her hair is curly? Is she half oppressed? This poem rhymes but she’s wrong. My step daughter doesn’t need to be “fixed” in the way that this woman describes “fixed” because she was never broken either. I’ve got half Mexican and full Mexican children in my family also and they all know what I mean when I tell them to fix or do their hair. It has absolutely nothing to do with their skin color because each of them is amazing and beautiful!

      your looking at your situation only. It could have been different for the one speaking and therefore it does not mean she is wrong. Her story is her story, just like mine is mine and yours is yours.
