Jasmine Huerta

Jasmines blog "A Mixed Race" was very interesting and very true. Jasmine claims is Tannenbaum, no matter how racist he is approves "black" and "white" people having children. It is the only way the "Negros" ever belong in a white mans society. This book was written around the time of the civil war so that is to be expected from Tannenbaum. But Now I wonder in our generation will these stereotypes, not just in the black community but for every race, ever go away. Will there be a day where all people won't look at each other by skin color or by race. Just look at each other as people. what do you think?
I also agree that Tannenbaum was very descriptive on how he feels about the mixing of "Whites" and "Blacks". It felt like as our teacher would say that he was a bit of a "creep" while writing this. He fantasizes about a Black women who owns her own slaves. It's a bit "raunchy" which was how i described it in my blog.
However Jasmine also claims "When black women had this choice, it was a downfall either way whether working in the fields and possibly getting raped or live in a house with a white man just satisfy his every sexual desire and serve him in anything else" (Huerta 2nd Paragraph) is a interesting. For some women they had no choice but to be the mistress or it was hard labor. This is what Tannenbaum approves? Now matter how they have children wether its love or rape the ends justify the means.
"A Mixed Race"is a good blog but can use a bit more evidence. You definitely got a good claim should use this claim in your first essay but use more of the book to support. "The Biological transmutation from one race toward another, the new type of beauty, the new race was being evolved every" (tannenbaum 121) is a great quote to use for this claim. all of page 121 and on is great evidence for your claim
