Peer Blog Response

Paul Jairam
ENG 103

Agreeing to disagree as well as insinuating in the response is what Nico Colomer did here greatly. The response wasn’t directly revolving around a quote but it revolved more around the matter of the quote as well as some contradictory matters that Tannenbaum was talking about. Colomer described a questionable matter that African Americans have been given recognition only for their work but not as a human being. The text states that, "an American, a white man with a black face", implicates the only sort of recognition an African has mainly received just because of their work as slaves, which clearly explains the point of my statements as well as Colomer’s (Tannenbaum 41). Elaborating more on the point within the writing, she states interesting theories that explain the negativity it plays upon the life of minority people in America in this present day. All this negativity has created obstacles, as well as shunned the dreams of people. With all that being said, I highly agree with everything that Colomer has stated because of the pure fact that the history of America shuns many and discourages them in life. The justification that was made only to make such a cruel matter get by unanswered for, is exactly what downplays our human nature, and that is part of Colomer’s response and how she elaborates in a more personal thought matter. Just as she states that most people find this country to be hopeless is exactly a preying matter that has been going on for years as to how racial superiority still has an ignorant hold on the minds of racial white Americans.
