    The real reason for the creole being created is because the French and Spanish would claim their mullato offspring fully. That's were their wealth and education came from in comparison to other blacks. After slavery that gave them a comparative advantage over most slaves and mullatos who came from plantations ran by the English. In fact the English was most afraid of a separate mullato class emerging, which is why they staunchly enforced the one drop rule after gaining control of French and Spanish territories 💯!

      The English coloreds, and mulatto petitioned to be considered White or grandfathered into being White when the British colonies where adopting White Supremacy policies by taking freedmen land, imposing new laws on Indians and Black's, and making slavery hereditary and lifelong.

    Ok
    She’s right. My dad could pass for white. My dads people were wealthy and are wealthy. He fell in love with my mom who’s skin was of a way darker hue. My moms history comes from Alavert and GA plantations. My dads family didn’t like that. They’re totally brainwashed and have hate. No difference than those folks.They disowned my dad. I still can’t find my dads people to this day. So not only do we have everyone else hating us, we hate ourselves is my point here. Willie Lynch shyt.

      They also had the fine toothed comb test, too. If your hair wasn’t straight enough to glide through a fine toothed comb, you were excluded. It’s a sad predicament these people have subjected themselves to. The colorism is just an extension of self hate created by slavery just to humiliate and further divide us and create shame and hatred. I’m so glad to be away from this mindset that exists throughout Louisiana. Let them wallow in their insecurities, ignorance, and false sense of superiority if that’s what they wish to do. I’d rather live far away from this ignorance!

      Beyoncé in the last 10 yrs has started to behave like she was reared to. An anomaly. Black Americans have to stop allowing anomalies to represent monoracial monoethnic interest. Beyoncé behaves very pompously toward Black America. Take note of that. She even did it very subversively to the monoracial Aborigine, Kelly Rowland. When ever she released a project or single, Beyoncé attempts to steal spotlight. When she is the more talented and genuine of the two. She has also done this with younger Black American lady acts younger whom she doesn’t want to *pass the torch* to. This is why Janet is regarded of more respect. I believe she has something to do with blocking artist like Normani Kordei’s solo career as well as facets of Ari Lennox and new acts. It’s sick.

    Creole is a culture and Creoles can be of any color. There is a misconception that all Creoles were/are mixed or light skin. Creole was the term used in Africa for the mixed race children born to African women and Portuguese expats on the African continent. With the era of the Transatlantic Salve Trade, the term Creole then meant born in the New World. It applied to both New World born Caucasians and Africans. Over time the term mistakenly become associated with Caucasian Creoles and Mixed race Creoles and Creoles of mainly African descent were sidelined. Creole food is over 90% African (now many dishes have been appropriated and called Cajun), the language is a mix of French and Africanisms along with traces of Spanish and other languages, the traditional religion is Catholic but a blend of African spirituality were/are also practiced by some.

    All features that the white despises is found in the creole physically just like any other Black person of African origin. The creole, in the eyes of whites, has darker skin, wider nose (in some cases) kinky or curly hair (in many cases) curvaseous bodies (not a flat booty) and better skin tone. So, it becomes quite confusing when Black people desire and wish to be creole when the creole is not accepted either and treated in many cases as badly as any Black person. Colorism is dangerous...

I also grew up with aunts (papa was a rolling stone) of Creole descendants. I was usually the only one with my complexion in spaces when I spent time with their families. I was never made to feel less directly by them but when we were out in the world I learned that there were going to be things that I would be denied access to. Those experiences mirror what it has been like having white girlfriends just a little more subtle. Some people, places, and things are not for us and that is a blessing when you truly know your worth. Rejection be saving lives.

    There was no inbreeding in French Colonial Louisiana among Louisiana Creoles because the Creole Heritage Societies maintained strict records of who was related to whom. Under French rule in the Pre-Louisiana Purchase territory, and especially New Orleans, French Creoles had birth certificates, containing the names of the mother and father, at a time when Black American slaves and poor whites did not.
    The phrase "keeping it in the family" did not originate with any sort of incest or inbreeding. Even today, there are non-Creole people, of all ethnicies who do not consider a 7th cousins to be an immediate family relative.

    Look at this woman, she could be a closer representation of what Cleopatra would actually look like than Wonder Woman.

    Im a Louisiana Creole from Cane River. I can say it is Rumored that this is true! I was told growing up that some of my relatives from the river keep it in the family to keep the skin light. I haven’t witnessed it myself though.

    Creole here👋🏾: We also can't really have this conversation without talking about Plaçage. Many times black and indigenous blood was bred out of us.
    These systems that resembled concubinage would result in children from their White Plaçageès that were either Passe Blanc or close to it. Often this was done multi-generationally. So you'd have a quadroon (1/4 black), octoroon (1/8 black), mulâtre (1/2 white)or on occasion a griffe (1/4 white) , producing children with a white men. That said, eventually some were indistinguishable from whites (bc genetically speaking, some of them were).
    also most gens de couleur were NOT "rich" bur many did have assets and generational WEALTH. That's an important distinction to make.
    I also can't stress this enough that Creole has more to do with culture than ethnic makeup. As evidence of my photo LOL clearly we're not all green-eyed with a neon complexion.

    I take offense to this! You need to stop causing division. We know we’ve had issues with colorism, featurism and texturism in our community. It’s not right, I was told growing up by people outside of my family, that I was a waste of light skin, because my hair was so nappy. I don’t hold anger for those people for that, I understand that they were conditioned to believe that. Being light skinned with green blue gray eyes doesn’t make you egotastic, it doesn’t make you evil, we’re not something to avoid, envy, or despise. Stop doing that! People with issues in regards to these subjects were taught to believe that way. Stop implying that we’re all that way. We come from families with various beautiful shades of brown, eyes, skin, and various textures of hair. Stop implying that we’re the odd one out and something to be cautious about! I can’t speak for everyone else, but I’ve suffered extreme trauma in this country simply because I’m black. Trauma that has took me my entire 60 years of living to learn to live with, and learn to love who I am. I take great offense to this, what you’re implying. Stop it!

    I grew up in this environment. My grandmother would always have something to say if I was interested in someone that was what she calls too dark. That’s how they were in Louisiana. She would tell me dark men would cause me harm and they hate your kind.

    Good movie to watch made from the novel of Ann Rice, is named "Feasts of All Saints." This is a movie about how many Creoles lived. Creoles are dark skin and light skin. They were free but yet not free.
