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.
My dad and mom warned me about white women. They’d say you go to jail or get killled and my feelings would get hurt. They were and are right. They also warned me about gray eyed black women. Lol. They said don’t trust em. I also have a beautiful per today’s standards a cousin with blue eyes and blonde hair. I’m darker and most think I’m Dominican. Im a proud person who is a black man in America.
I have a friend who ALWAYS use to tell me that I’m so cute to be dark and her mom used to tell me that too and she still says it sometimes. I haven’t talked to her in a couple of months but I said next time I talk to her I’m gonna tell her she’s cute to be light skinned. It’s awful that we have people our own race who act like they do. I’m proud of who I am and wouldn’t change anything about it
I blame Caucasians for people with brown and black skin tripping on the lightness or darkness of skin color. It should not matter, but we live in a complicated world due to racism.
That's right!!! ..they love speaking subtly to darker ppl like that!... Tell them you sort of tame in society/manners & at the table to be part neander..my ancestors taught well🤣!Thts no friend btw!
I am a 45 year old female from New Orleans and my Aunt told me that back then people had what was called the “ PAPER BAG TEST”. You could not bring someone home if they were darker than a brown paper bag. Just heartbreaking to think about that.
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!

Did she say anything about white creole. They may have only recently started accepting what they would call black creole. If they were free during slavery they were called Gens de couleur libres . However like everything black people will take racism and use it against each other.
@@orange300-ct8fc Yes but there are light Creoles and dark creoles and sometimes they are called that way.. "white creole, black creole" Like Tina Knowles, she would be a white creole "light skinned" versus my fam who is creole but tend to be on the darker side.

I was actually advised against incest. Several of the matriarchs in my family to NEVER date anyone in Louisiana because we are probably related. I believed them and never dated anyone from Louisiana, where I was born. What she is saying makes total sense considering the economics of that time.
Bruh prob half the ppl in the US originate from some type of shared bloodline. Bro blood thins through time it dilutes mixed etc... by the time you are 20 gen in the amount of DNA you actually get from 20 gens ago is damn near non existent. JS That would be somewhere upwards of 500 600 700 yrs. considering most Americans die before 100.
I remember a girl from Louisiana telling me her kids came out cute because her and her hubbie arent related. I had no idea why she said that. Now i do. 😅
@HighKicks2yaTeef lol! Yep. I was telling her how cute her kids were and she said "Mine came out cute because me and (dads name) aren't related." I was looking at her like "well I hope not". She said "I'm serious" 😆 😂
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.

I'm 75 years old - when I was a young woman my grandmother told me that a light-skinned boy I liked probably would not introduce me to his family because I wasn't light enough for them (keeping the color in the family). I have seen many people do this - not out of love, but they wanted to keep the yella line going.
Its so sad. That sort of logic is rooted in deep fear and a f'd up sense of love because any children born dark skin wouldn't have the best treatment and it would break the illusion of them not being black or the illusion of them being better than their darker skin counter part. Very sad.
@@stacycushinberry oh please are this creole arabs or black see why pure breed races avoid mixing They wanted ro keep the light skin to make up for being weak hybrids who turn against black ppl honestly creole should stay away from blacks if they not black becoz being black is being dark most cases
My father is a white passing creole and my mom is a deeply melanated black woman. He made a conscious decision to leave his home town of Opelousas to go to Baton Rouge to meet a woman because it was only creoles around and he said he wasn't attracted to that. To much of a risk to end up with distant cousins.

I was pushed to get into a relationship with a white girl in high school because none of the girls lighter than me wanted to talk to me because I was dark skin.. my mom lift me up as a youngster and let me know you can't stop being black.. when I went outside of Louisiana I got some of the prettiest women..

You got, or acquired, women, like any fungible Things ya Get. And prettiness... valuing humans just on the basis of their embodiment. What does that sound like to you.
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.
That is correct because there were free people of color, white, black, and mixed idegineous who were considered Creole because they were born in the so-called new world. The racial and colorism aspect is baked into everything because of them folks.
Statistically, highly educated blacks are prime targets for racial discrimination. So you could still argue that she represents the black elite. You can only be elite within the context of your socioeconomic regime. If educated blacks are hated and actively oppressed, then uneducated ones are more elite by comparison.
I was in the Marine Corps with a man like that. They wanted to keep the money in the family so the cousins had to be with each other and marry each other or get kicked out of the family Fortune. He didn’t agree and joined the military to get away from it all. Then his brother married the last female cousin and he lost his inheritance.
I am of Creole heritage and agree with what Phil said about my cousins strongly desiring only wanting to mate with and having light-skinned children. A lot were cousins marrying cousins. They wouldn't date anyone darker than them.
Watch 'The Feast of All Saints". A lot of these women during slavery were concubines of white men. How they got that complexion is nothing to be proud of.
Not true! Being a LaLwizyàna Kréyòlité is a regional ethnic group in Louisiana, and it's our culture too!! We are Black-American LaLwizyàna Kréyòlité people of Louisiana. LaLwizyàna Kréyòlité isn't a so-called: 'Race, it's a regional Black ethnic group in Louisiana.
She’s speaking to the acceptance of privilege along class and race lines imposed upon them by their enslaver. I mean if that’s a badge of honor for you, okay.
My grandmother used to say Creole people were stir-crazy cuz they mixed within themselves. They were strange because many of them mixed within a family or other Creole communities and THEY was mixing within themselves. So that's a bunch of stir crazy people😂😂😂
French colonies always had a mulatto class in their caste system. Which was a middle class between whites and blacks. So yes they saw black ppl beneath them. But it was part of preserving a social/financial class as well
My mom's family stuck to only marrying other Creole and mixed folk back in the day. I never understood how it went back for so many generations. But my great grandmother put a stop to it and completely rejected the Creole identity and identified as Black.
Interesting so did mine! Or maybe her family separated because we use no idea what happened to all of them! She had like 8 brothers and sisters on the 1910 census and 1920 census.
How is that better? You basically said she rejected her actual heritage and just started to identify with the part that was the lowest on the totem pole. Which is a very post 1960’s marxist thing to do.
The issue I have with some Creoles is that they want to be white passing and become part of WS society😒. Some Creoles think they’re White until they’re inevitably reminded they’re not.
Facts. And that generally goes for some light skinned people. Flirt with WS until they get a rude awakening. Black people always accept them back though.
But a lot of them are white. Someone with 75% Caucasian DNA or more should be considered white. If someone has to ask you what race you are etc... are you really black? Sick of people barely black benefitting from being black when its convenient for them.
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...
You missing the point that's a love-hate relationship they love them cause they can do the white man biding and hate them cause of their black genes. Therefore, they are weponise against us
You say that loud! How the hell does a lighter color mean that you are beautiful? That is just damn stupid - Every women that I have ever know ( I am from the UK ) with dark skin has a beautiful texture and 9/10 times is far more beautiful than ANYONE else, blacks need to wake the F,,,,k up before it is too late! or is it too late?
Because Creoles being under the French colony had more agency, the same can be said to a degree about the Gullah Geechees in Spanish colonies and the coloreds in the British colonies until White Supremacy kicked into full gear.
she still suffering from negropean curse, with the unnatural blonde hair and shes halfway drag queen looking. The blonde hair black women in my family here in Texas is dark and natural.
The world isn't that much different. Now it's deemed a "preference". From Louisiana, I grew up with one Creole sister and one biracial sister (both half-sisters). 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.
I believe her. I’ve heard of this and believe it went beyond Louisiana and specifically in states like Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Virginia (DC) amongst light skin Blacks. You ever been around a “black” family and everybody, from grandma, auntie, uncles, 2nd cousins etc, is light skin with a certain aesthetic (light eyes, hair type)? Yeeeah, best believe they are being selective.
Yes, I've seen them in Virginia when I went Virginia Beach. Their form of light skin is not even healthy looking not mention the genetic issues they tend to have. I've also had patients like that. So sad.

My grandfather is from Louisiana but he wasnt with that. He used to always talk about how beautiful and extremely crazy creole women were due to incest. Remember in Harlem Nights Redd Foxx said that line about Creole women, "uh oh, that creole b**ch".
Started off with excuses like everybody does when they want you to accept what was done. "It was a different time" means "we didn't have the strength to do anything better or different".
I don't care how she tried to spin it it's incest and it's cultish. I understand the cause and effect that created the creole community but they took it further to preserve their "race" knowing they were the most despised and desirable depending upon the situation and circumstances. Nothing has changed, however I hope the incestuous nature of the culture has.
It's all so sad how divided humanity is 😢. I hope someday we can all just be people and everyone can just have their space in society. Not getting treated badly for having a skin colour that is different.

My sister was invited to a party and she noticed that everyone was her complexion aka light bright damn near white and she started asking questions about why everyone was fair skinned. They told her about the brown paper bag test. She was shocked that it was true when I told her years before she was invited to that party.

Creole born, raised and proudly speak the language & all, however, some of my fellow brothers & sisters in our specific enclave of the community have a sickness of the mind & heart, what they also don’t realize is that we’re all descended from the the BLACKEST of the Haitians, tough reality right? Some can’t cope, but creole is a very broad scope, with many variations, some exotic, there’s plenty who have dark coal like skin, straight textured hair with blue or green eyes, I’m pretty sure there’s folks in the comments who have seen this, and there are some with the whitest of white skin, but also has the most nappy hair you’ve ever seen, sometimes bright red🤢 too. But imo, what should be preserved is the culture & language, outside of that, we’re all black🤷🏽♂️
@@adamblack6867 no I’m not, most our black lineage came from free Haitians & other parts of the Caribbean such as Cuba who came to the US in the 19th century. “Creole” is an amalgam of cultures, mainly French & African, but Native American & Iberian Spaniards as well, there ARE some who speak Spanish & because of the Catholic Church, the much older ones in the community such as my grandmother who’s 105, can speak Latin, as some of the churches back then were only conducted in the language. No offense to you but I know my lineage and history and I don’t like people telling me what I am or where I come from, that weren’t raised in the the culture. I’m jus happy that there are at-least some of us in the community that know where our people come from.
You all are so damn ignorant amongst yourselves. I hope more mixed Black/White/Mulatto WAKES UP and sees the disrespect and rightly decides to go their own damn way. There’s enough of them (thanks to BM getting with Miss Ann!🤣) Most of the greatest freedom fighters in “Black” history were NOT black they were Mulatto - including Frederick.

I’m a 70’s baby and my grandparents are not from the south but from Central America Honduras 🇭🇳! My grandpa who we called Poncho would tell me to stay outta of the sun because I would get to black, but he would never tell my sister this. My grandmother when taking us to stores as we road the bus would hear Hispanic people say in Spanish “what she doin w those N-- children” and my grandma would let’em have it in Spanish right back checking their behinds w the quickness. My grandparents looked more Hispanic Indian so I stood out like a sore thumb. But to hear my grandmother let people have it in Spanish and the look on their face as they tried to figure out how she knew what they said was priceless. I was so confused growing up, my moms had different hair, fam looked different, strong accents and most spoke Spanish but only when needed or to defend themselves from other Hispanic/Central Americans bcus we were with them. It’s just crazy and hopefully things can improve because truly they have only improved a little
And most of the DMV don’t even know who those people are. The monoracial Black Society don’t allow mulattos to run business of monoracial indigenous. That is insane.
I just read about them and all of the "Wesorts" families (not sure but I think the term is offensive nowadays, but there is nothing else to call the group) most of their descendants broke free and refreshed their genes though. The black community used to shame people for marrying into that family
I heard of families like this in Mississippi my mom told me this goes far beyond the paper bag test. Don’t know why she look freaky weird. No harm intended I just have a spirit of discernment that’s strong in I see something in her😢. Blessings to all. You find out too late that the darker the berry the deeper the root is a Blessing. If you knew it would blow your mind that lineage means more then you could ever understand🤯 👼🏾👼🏿. The same skin they made to be your sin.
I grew up in Louisiana and everything you guys said are true. Those creoles did not date dark skin people. Most of them looked similar. The Cane River Creole region in Louisiana is notorious for that.
Have you ever heard of the paper bag rule? Man oh man working at the railroad and hearing me talk about thar while growing up in Louisiana is absolutely absurd. Those folks made up all kind of rules to perserve their evil.
Don't forget, our ancestors are watching anyone who claims to be Black, but has a dislike of an unmixed Black complexion. The greatest civilizations in human history, were created by unmixed African/Black people who were dark-brown to jet-Black in complexion... Kush, Nubia, Kemetic/Egypt, Sumer, Harappa, Etruscan, Crete, Olmec and many more. Today's love of light skin is the clearest example of our Worldwide defeat by the non-Black people of this planet.
@@tanya8131971 Black people were on the Island of Crete and in mainland Greece, long before white people arrived not only in the Mediterranean , but in Europe. White people originated in Central Asia, not Europe. They didn't arrive in those areas until well after 1,400 bc, and only copied the civilizations already created by Afrikan/Black people.
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.
In 2023 we are still dealing with self hating people in this community?!? Why we give too much attention to these light skinned people? Black people with darker skinned tones are so powerfull. We should start to upflitting ourselves and our people. Darker skinned people are so so lucky and blessed!
We not a real group because it's no actual percentage and light skin or darker is all ppl mean saying blk. What blk community 😂, if I lived in a full dark (85%+African ethnicities) so called blk community, I would be in a casket by now 😂
She is correct. ALthough alot of those light-skinned clubs were for lights-skinned blacks, dark-skinned blacks could join too as long as they had status and wealth.
My grandma came from the darkest & created the "eyes".yet her story never waivered!!!!!!!!! The children were light dark with eyes you couldn't believe 💯
Creole is a lot more than light skin, and there are French Creoles from Louisiana, to the Caribbean and South America, and they aren’t high yellow either.
She also didn’t mention that if any of them was born of a darker hue would be looked down on and what they looked down on is who we would call dark skin and she fits that mold. Tina Knowels yes Beyoncé mother color was the acceptable shade.
I’m Creole right here in Lafayette, Louisiana. We are black bro. The only difference is the culture. We speak English/French and listen to Zydeco music and do a lot of trail rides and festivals. We vary in every color don’t get it twisted. Laissez Les bon temps rouler
d'ac·cord, tres bien. Great music. Majority of my island are what would be afro creoles . I am from a creolized culture in the Caribbean. We have the banjo, violin, djembe drums and flute in the traditional music.
People hear what they want to hear. It’s never positive when someone calls any group “those people.¨ Although we come in all shades, too many people get fixated on eye and skin color. Creole is our culture; it´s not our race.
Im from New Orleans and just spoke of this on yesterday with my 14yr old. Because they loved us in private and created children whose features were mixed, there was now a group of individuals who also felt left out. Not dark enough to be Negro and not light enough to be White. For them this was somehow a one up. Due to the decreased melanin they also somehow felt Superior to people of color who had darker skin. Yes the too owned slaves. Its also a fact that they attempt to preserve the complexion by not procreating with darker skin blacks. Uts also a fact that many also dislike themselves because truth is you got that way because Master was sleeping with your ancestors mostly by force or in secret and there is no honor in that.
@@xmoreno3366Not discounting what u said but not all relationships between white and blacks were from rape, majority was but some were consenting. My great grandmother even inherited multiple properties from her white father. Now she was an extremely colourist person though.
I’m from Gulfport Ms and I can confirm this is true . Got some friends who almost all look the same they are creole. They kept it in the family. BUT they all love dark skinned guys 😂 and they all love my skin color they love to call me chocolate. But they are some beautiful people. But once again they kept it in the family to have it that way
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.

I am a 45 year old female from New Orleans and my Aunt told me that back then people had what was called the “ PAPER BAG TEST”. You could not bring someone home if they were darker than a brown paper bag. Just heartbreaking to think about that.
Back in the mid- late '90s they were still holding paper bag tests. Just to get into bars and nightclubs.
I heard that, too🎉
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!

Y’all might not like this, Tina Beyoncé is a product of “keeping it in the family”.
Say what?
I been knew that.
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.

With all due reapect but you sound colorist. It seems you only wanted light skin girls, but you couldn't have them, so you went white. Typical.
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.
That is correct because there were free people of color, white, black, and mixed idegineous who were considered Creole because they were born in the so-called new world. The racial and colorism aspect is baked into everything because of them folks.
Thank you for explaining the origin of what Creole meant or means.

I agree. Beyonce is the same way. She sounds uneducated to say the least.
Statistically, highly educated blacks are prime targets for racial discrimination. So you could still argue that she represents the black elite. You can only be elite within the context of your socioeconomic regime. If educated blacks are hated and actively oppressed, then uneducated ones are more elite by comparison.

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...

The world isn't that much different. Now it's deemed a "preference". From Louisiana, I grew up with one Creole sister and one biracial sister (both half-sisters). 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.

Yep. I guarantee that she thinks she is better than Black people and specifically Black women.
Not colorism, just self hatred. When did we black americans start saying "colorism"?
@@fire418Your question is a joke, right?
@@josephinebournes8212 None of our black scholars ever called this behavior colorism, they just referred to it as self hatred. The word "colorism" was created by and pushed an immigrant female.
@@fire418 we are mixed race. Please tell me what did creoles do that would indicate self hatred ?
I’m from Louisiana and most people there know this. She is not saying that her family committed incest but that is exactly how far people of certain color or folks who felt like they were creole as they call it to maintain the color in the family. Let me just say this though, everyone in Louisiana who claim to be creole is not creole lol. Just because your skin is lighter don’t make you creole just because you want to be creole lol.
im from north louisiana and she is saying her family did INCEST mess..... to keep that light skin in
But it was incest my g
I too believe it's Incest.
No matter how you slice it, they are the seed of Esau and black women. It's that simple. They celebrate the Esau mix and try to breed out Jacob. This is what they are proud of.
Exactly!! That's how I see it too..
FACTS!
She is very beautiful and she is very correct! I’m from Baton Rouge and went to Southern University, a HBCU. The creoles are the beloved ones on Black campuses.
As a southern university graduate I agree.
And black people love anything that sounds about right
I see why, she got it going on. That creole sista is fine af

Creole born, raised and proudly speak the language & all, however, some of my fellow brothers & sisters in our specific enclave of the community have a sickness of the mind & heart, what they also don’t realize is that we’re all descended from the the BLACKEST of the Haitians, tough reality right? Some can’t cope, but creole is a very broad scope, with many variations, some exotic, there’s plenty who have dark coal like skin, straight textured hair with blue or green eyes, I’m pretty sure there’s folks in the comments who have seen this, and there are some with the whitest of white skin, but also has the most nappy hair you’ve ever seen, sometimes bright red🤢 too. But imo, what should be preserved is the culture & language, outside of that, we’re all black🤷🏽♂️
I think yall bunch idiot... cuz yall black no matter how u sugar coat it.. what do u mean by dark coal lightskin? u mean a darkskin person? D*mb a$$es
Your confusing American creoles with Haitians .
@@adamblack6867 no I’m not, most our black lineage came from free Haitians & other parts of the Caribbean such as Cuba who came to the US in the 19th century. “Creole” is an amalgam of cultures, mainly French & African, but Native American & Iberian Spaniards as well, there ARE some who speak Spanish & because of the Catholic Church, the much older ones in the community such as my grandmother who’s 105, can speak Latin, as some of the churches back then were only conducted in the language. No offense to you but I know my lineage and history and I don’t like people telling me what I am or where I come from, that weren’t raised in the the culture. I’m jus happy that there are at-least some of us in the community that know where our people come from.
I’m not even going to argue with you, all you need to do is pick up a book.
@Lemurai
Lol what are you talking about?
We aren’t talking about Haitians we are taking about Louisiana natives
Lol. As she sit there trying to look like Ms. ANN😂
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
You all are so damn ignorant amongst yourselves. I hope more mixed Black/White/Mulatto WAKES UP and sees the disrespect and rightly decides to go their own damn way. There’s enough of them (thanks to BM getting with Miss Ann!🤣)
Most of the greatest freedom fighters in “Black” history were NOT black they were Mulatto - including Frederick. Douglass, John Horse, Marie Laveau (Creole yasss) and list goes on TOO long. You will claim the mixed when it’s convenient and discard them when they don’t tap to your song and play your game. Some of y’all can be just as terrible as WS. I pray for an awakening and let us all find some peace.
B/W is NOT BLACK so if she’s looking like Miss Ann, it’s because she has her in there!! Wow
Well I like to keep my family in a darker shin spectrum so we can enjoy being at the beach for long periods of time without a sunburn on our body
Um ok girl
U sound ignorant af.lighter people don't burn either

Creole is culture not a skin tone
I’m a 70’s baby and my grandparents are not from the south but from Central America Honduras 🇭🇳! My grandpa who we called Poncho would tell me to stay outta of the sun because I would get to black, but he would never tell my sister this. My grandmother when taking us to stores as we road the bus would hear Hispanic people say in Spanish “what she doin w those N-- children” and my grandma would let’em have it in Spanish right back checking their behinds w the quickness. My grandparents looked more Hispanic Indian so I stood out like a sore thumb. But to hear my grandmother let people have it in Spanish and the look on their face as they tried to figure out how she knew what they said was priceless. I was so confused growing up, my moms had different hair, fam looked different, strong accents and most spoke Spanish but only when needed or to defend themselves from other Hispanic/Central Americans bcus we were with them. It’s just crazy and hopefully things can improve because truly they have only improved a little
wow , I'm sofry for what you went throught, it's terrible
They remind me of the Proctor family in Bowie, MD. In order to maintain that light skin complexion they intermarried hence why they r crazy AF
And most of the DMV don’t even know who those people are. The monoracial Black Society don’t allow mulattos to run business of monoracial indigenous. That is insane.
I just read about them and all of the "Wesorts" families (not sure but I think the term is offensive nowadays, but there is nothing else to call the group) most of their descendants broke free and refreshed their genes though. The black community used to shame people for marrying into that family
I'm from MD and know about the Proctor's. I think they are in Charles County too
@@indianprincess8219 and a lot of them are not wrapped too tight 🧠 and I'm from MD too
@@sssssssss111 Absolutely.
I heard of families like this in Mississippi my mom told me this goes far beyond the paper bag test. Don’t know why she look freaky weird. No harm intended I just have a spirit of discernment that’s strong in I see something in her😢. Blessings to all. You find out too late that the darker the berry the deeper the root is a Blessing. If you knew it would blow your mind that lineage means more then you could ever understand🤯 👼🏾👼🏿. The same skin they made to be your sin.
Demonic
She scares me.
Yes like viper with eyes creepy me out that don't f your family 🤨
I’m glad UUUU said it. That evil White part of her is shining through.
SHE HAS ON A LOT OF MAKE-UP TOO.
This is disturbing to say the least and these these people are proud of it 🤦🏿♂️
When i lived in Louisiana, they were called "high yella"
I grew up in Louisiana and everything you guys said are true. Those creoles did not date dark skin people. Most of them looked similar. The Cane River Creole region in Louisiana is notorious for that.
Racism: the remixed version of
Have you ever heard of the paper bag rule? Man oh man working at the railroad and hearing me talk about thar while growing up in Louisiana is absolutely absurd. Those folks made up all kind of rules to perserve their evil.
Don't forget, our ancestors are watching anyone who claims to be Black, but has a dislike of an unmixed Black complexion. The greatest civilizations in human history, were created by unmixed African/Black people who were dark-brown to jet-Black in complexion... Kush, Nubia, Kemetic/Egypt, Sumer, Harappa, Etruscan, Crete, Olmec and many more. Today's love of light skin is the clearest example of our Worldwide defeat by the non-Black people of this planet.
Why is Crete on the list? Crete is in Greece.
@@tanya8131971 Black people were on the Island of Crete and in mainland Greece, long before white people arrived not only in the Mediterranean , but in Europe. White people originated in Central Asia, not Europe. They didn't arrive in those areas until well after 1,400 bc, and only copied the civilizations already created by Afrikan/Black people.
@@tanya8131971Blacks made the scene ALL OVER the Mediterranean. That's why people of Mediterranean heritage can get Sickle Cell....
All Facts.....
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.
Wow, this is so deep rooted in our community streamed from Willie Lynch 😢
In 2023 we are still dealing with self hating people in this community?!? Why we give too much attention to these light skinned people? Black people with darker skinned tones are so powerfull. We should start to upflitting ourselves and our people. Darker skinned people are so so lucky and blessed!
We not a real group because it's no actual percentage and light skin or darker is all ppl mean saying blk. What blk community 😂, if I lived in a full dark (85%+African ethnicities) so called blk community, I would be in a casket by now 😂
She is correct. ALthough alot of those light-skinned clubs were for lights-skinned blacks, dark-skinned blacks could join too as long as they had status and wealth.
My grandma came from the darkest & created the "eyes".yet her story never waivered!!!!!!!!! The children were light dark with eyes you couldn't believe 💯
Word were they hazel ??
Exactly I have plenty of relatives including grandchildren who fit this description.
do you want a cookie 🍪 ?
I don’t understand the comment at all 🤔
Creole is a lot more than light skin, and there are French Creoles from Louisiana, to the Caribbean and South America, and they aren’t high yellow either.
😆😆😆😆😆Duh my brother,their ain't nothing special about Creoles whether in U.S or elsewhere mixed a born from selective breeding practices....
Creole is not a skin color...
French creoles are white s o what are you saying lol
She also didn’t mention that if any of them was born of a darker hue would be looked down on and what they looked down on is who we would call dark skin and she fits that mold. Tina Knowels yes Beyoncé mother color was the acceptable shade.
Yes, sometimes two creole people would have a brown child and they suffered.
What u said is true in most places when most of the family members are lighter. The darker members are treated slightly differently.
I’m Creole right here in Lafayette, Louisiana. We are black bro. The only difference is the culture. We speak English/French and listen to Zydeco music and do a lot of trail rides and festivals. We vary in every color don’t get it twisted. Laissez Les bon temps rouler
Drake said people in New Orleans said he looked like a Creole ninja but he’s just a T.O ninja
d'ac·cord, tres bien. Great music. Majority of my island are what would be afro creoles . I am from a creolized culture in the Caribbean. We have the banjo, violin, djembe drums and flute in the traditional music.
Who your people? I’ve got lots of family there. Both parents Creole.

People hear what they want to hear. It’s never positive when someone calls any group “those people.¨ Although we come in all shades, too many people get fixated on eye and skin color. Creole is our culture; it´s not our race.
So what are your race just asking
I love this guy he really tells it like it is
2:10 It was like a Kardashian dating a high school basketball coach. This woman is not serious 😂
Im from New Orleans and just spoke of this on yesterday with my 14yr old. Because they loved us in private and created children whose features were mixed, there was now a group of individuals who also felt left out. Not dark enough to be Negro and not light enough to be White. For them this was somehow a one up. Due to the decreased melanin they also somehow felt Superior to people of color who had darker skin. Yes the too owned slaves. Its also a fact that they attempt to preserve the complexion by not procreating with darker skin blacks. Uts also a fact that many also dislike themselves because truth is you got that way because Master was sleeping with your ancestors mostly by force or in secret and there is no honor in that.
sleeping??? nothing to be proud beacuse it was just pain
R@PE from both white men and women it was SAD 😢 dark time
@@xmoreno3366Not discounting what u said but not all relationships between white and blacks were from rape, majority was but some were consenting. My great grandmother even inherited multiple properties from her white father. Now she was an extremely colourist person though.
I’m from Gulfport Ms and I can confirm this is true . Got some friends who almost all look the same they are creole. They kept it in the family. BUT they all love dark skinned guys 😂 and they all love my skin color they love to call me chocolate. But they are some beautiful people. But once again they kept it in the family to have it that way
Now Thats the kicker in our U.S FBA culture alot or most red bone or Yella sisters have Milk Chocolate or Dark Brown husband's....
We are all beautiful!!light skin and dark skin women❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am creole and I'm from Louisiana I am proud of my culture 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Look at this woman, she could be a closer representation of what Cleopatra would actually look like than Wonder Woman.
She looks like an average brown skin Black woman. Lol
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.
This lady is so beautiful. Mixed race people rock
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.
