Response To Denii Claims







              When it comes to mixed races, Tannenbaum had a very open mind to it. As Denii Rincon claimed in her blog,“Tannenbaum’s notion that slavery will never truly end unless there is mixing of the races is wrong” (Rincon). Denii Rincon describes how only because people have mixed children doesn’t necessarily mean slavery will end. Rincon explains how she believes that a well-educated establishment would help end slavery and can one day end it. She goes on to describe her own experience on being in a mixed cultural environment. She tells her reader about all the different races she grew up around which helped her be accepting towards other races. As she continues to tell readers about her experiences with other races she mentions how Tannenbaum would have been pleased which means in certain aspects Rincon agrees with him. The only agreement that seems to be shared by Rincon and Tannenbaum is the positive attitude regarding mixed races. Denii Rincon goes on to tell her idea by stating “will learn to accept other races as a part of the United States if they are simply exposed to other races as children in a positive way”(Rincon).  Denii idea is if people were to be more exposed to other races at an earlier age then acceptance of different races and cultures would be accepted.  I agree with Denii Rincon claim and ideas for mixed races. She has very valid points and even has a personal understanding because of her exposure to different races and cultures. She ends with telling her readers that being well informed and educated about other cultures is the key to abolish slavery.
