Thank you for this! My great grand parents spoke creole and it stopped with them and left a huge hole in my ancestry. I’m from Houston and am used to seeing creole people who are different shades. 😊
Hey! I’m in Houston as well I just moved here tho. I’m glad my video could resonate with you as there’s a lot of confusing videos out here on what Louisiana Creole is lol🫶🏾
@@DaCreoleVlog true, I thought it was only French and African now it’s got me wondering 🤔 my fathers side is white and my papa once told me he was German and Irish descent and grand mom said she’s French and Native American, they migrated from Shreveport over here! So maybe both sides was Creole!
At some point speaking our language was forbidden. They wouldn't let us speak it in school and some parents/grandparents decided to stop teaching the children altogether because it was frowned on. They told my maw maw that my mama couldn't go to school unless she spoke English. We'd hear it when the adults were speaking and didn't want the kids to know what or who they was talking about. But we always knew the names and cuss words 😂. I can speak and understand some but it always fills me with joy to see some the younger generations keeping our language and culture alive. Learn all you can from your elders. It may not seem important when you're young, but you'll appreciate it so much when you get older. It will give you a better understanding and pride of who you are. Blessings to you and your family. Love from New Orleans ⚜💕
Louisiana Creole here. There was a video on TikTok, a light-skinned multigenerational Creole and she was defending her skin color. It triggered me so much. And this video explained what she was saying.
@@deellaboe437 yea I know her personally the way they did her was so unnecessary. We creoles are diverse we can be black or mixed raced like her or white or indigenous
@DaCreoleVlog Job well done on explaining us Louisiana Creoles. The misconception is us Louisiana Creoles are light skin. No were not we come in many different shades cause mixed with so many different things. Im from Lake Charles, Louisiana my last name is Cormier. With the last name like Cormier my ancestry is all over the place. Again, excellent video much love sis.😊
I’m of all of the bloodlines and lineages you mentioned!!! I love this. I’m Nigerian, Senegalese, Congolese, Cameroonian, Ghanaian, and Malian. I’m of the Bantu Black Sub Saharan African tribes in terms of my Black bloodlines. Location wise … been here since Colonial Louisiana and one full Black ancestor was my great grandmother who was a free person of color and came here from Haiti. To post Colonial Louisiana but prior to 1921 when we truly went under Anglo American law. My European bloodlines and lineages are Latin European … Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian. My Native American is Choctaw. The Choctaw tribe did migrate here from Mexico though. It’s ethnically Mexican indigenous. I am part White European as well. Bloodline and lineages that consist of Scott’s Irish, Irish, and German. I’m also a tenth Anglo. English, Welsh, and Norwegian. The Anglo is minimal though. ❤️❤️❤️ We are an Afro - Latin ethnic group as Louisiana Creoles of Color! Being that we are Sub Saharan African and Latin European. Mostly. Most Creoles of Color are of different variations of Sub Saharan African lineage and Latin European as well as Native American Indigenous blood. ❤️❤️❤️ There are Louisiana Creoles that are not admixed at all and are 100% Black though. There are White Louisiana Creoles that are a mixture of White and Latin European too. ❤️❤️❤️ I love to see another Louisiana Creole that actually knows the history and knows what they’re talking about. We are the descendants of Colonial Louisiana. Period.
My family on both parents side is Louisiana Creole , New Orleans specifically. My grandma looked like a Native American but she always claimed to be an African American lol I always viewed Louisianan Creole / New Orleans Creole to be a sub group of African American people
I mean there’s nothing wrong with that at all everyone identifies differently I know sum that say African American and some that only say Louisiana creole both are fine but as far as historically it’s actually its own ethnic group 🫶🏾🫶🏾
@@carrington2949 I never once said that race and ethnicity are the same . We were talking about how people identify ETHNICALLY. So ethnically I am Louisiana Creole and racially I’m black so I’m a black Louisiana Creole … African American is not a race it’s an ethnicity same with Louisiana Creole it’s an ethnic group ..
@@DaCreoleVlog I never stated that you literally said the words. I merely called out the distinction. The US census has it listed as race with the category of black/African American. In the context of this country, it is not really an ethnic groups as predetermined by what ethnicity is defined to be as there is no common descent. The tribes are from everywhere. Even then there is no pure African blood. Even culturally the people differ as to foods and practices within regions. The idea of calling African Americans an ethnic group has become a practice within the diaspora. That is not really correct by anthropological and sociological standards for the word ethnicity. In other words- black people from other parts of the world just started doing it. 🙄
@@carrington2949 I get it but it’s seen as an ethnic group and I’m not going to tell people who do consider themselves African American that they’re not a ethnic group me personally I identify as racially black but not ethnically African American I identify as ethnically Louisiana Creole we have a deep history and culture I know other black ppl who don’t identify as ethnically aa like some Gullah geechee some melungeon some Afro Romani people etc people tend to assume that just because our family are from the United States that mean we ware ethnically African American lpl
Omg this was so SPOT ON! People are OBSESSED with speaking on us and think they can tell us who we are 😂 Thanks for standing up and setting the record straight. & thanks for the shout out ❤ I hadn’t posted in a minute because this space is soooo draining. Do you mind if I post a reaction to some of this? I get extra bombarded when I try to even hint at Louisiana Creole NOT being a sub category of African American because they assume I’m coming from a racial standpoint and just don’t want to be “black” but they’re so ignorant because I never deny my African heritage. I always try to reassure people that it’s not my “blackness” or “Africannness” that I’m running from. I’m just quite literally of a whole other ethnicity but that doesn’t negate my racial composition. Whether you call me Creole or African American, that’s not going to stop me from being racially half white lol. So I just want to show that it’s not just mixed Creoles saying we aren’t African American because we don’t want to be seen as black. Any REAL Creole of any racial background understands that we are our own ethnic group regardless of whatever our race is and being Creole does not exempt us from blackness if we are indeed black/mixed with black. They act like if we don’t say we’re African American then we’re not saying we’re black as if African Americans are the only black people. Again, great job!! ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️

I often use Afro Creole, for several reasons. 1. I'm from New Orleans 7th Ward. HARDHEAD 4 LIFE. 2. New Orleans as a port city thrived because of the Transatlantic slave trade which transported bought sold and traded thousands of enslaved peoples from West, Central and Southeastern Africa. 3. Nearly a 100 different African ethnicities and places of origin are documented to be shipped and sold to the nearby plantations. 4. The main ethnographic groups are the Bambara,Makwa, Hausa, Yoruba, Fon, BaCongo, BaLouba Ngolo, Igbo, Kanga, Chamba, Ashanti, Fanti, Coramanti, Mandinka, etc. 5. They are in my DNA predominantly. 6. My Mitochondrial and Y Chromosomal DNA lineages are the Temne of Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and Bissa of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫. 7. My Ancestors who been here since the 1700s, are of many (French, English, Irish Native) but I chose to recognize and reclaim my African ancestry more. 8. New Orleans is the most northern Caribbean city with the most African influenced culture and retention that I participate in daily. 9. CONGO SQUARE is foundation for our heritage, traditions, rituals, and customs that we see throughout the African Diaspora. A place of an African amalgamation.

@@Danielle-ck6ms my family is creole as well and I am black. I’m not sure what you learned but there is plenty of misinformation about Louisiana creoles. Cajuns are creoles, which I assume is what you’re talking about. The only reason they decided to name themselves Cajun was because of the new laws of segregation that was being forced upon in Louisiana. The state was a melting pot..a culture. Calling yourself creole was basically calling yourself a negro back in those days, so they separated by sticking with white people, lighter skinned people that could pass or mullattos that could pass as white. This is when you see the shift of Creoles vs. Cajuns. My family is from Baton Rouge, I’m a REAL creole and I’m sensitive about my s**t. You don’t have to accept this but there is plenty of historical facts and research that supports this claim.
@@HonneyHill Nah, that's not correct, like at all, I can tell even over the internet that you don't come from a creole family.

Baby black and white are statuses not race. Race is a social construct and we as a people can’t seem to comprehend this. Africans American was invented in 1988 by Jesse Jackson. Ethnicity is another made up social construct. Nationality is what we all have or should have. These race tactic used to divide us. It’s one human race, many nations .

I’m truly a Louisiana Creole (St. Landry and Avoyelles Creole mix) in every sense of the word; I’m literally of every single genetic ethnic group you mentioned and more lol. I used to be afraid to put anything other than Blk because I didn’t want to make it seem that I don’t accept my Blackness. I had to shake that off that notion; I have a significant degree of admixture so only checking Blk was ignoring the many other ancestors of mine like my Native American maternal grandmother (Natchez Nation) and etc. (which is disrespectful/dismissive in my opinion).

@@tiasmith6089 Louisiana shares ties with Haiti as far as New Orleans the biggest differences between is the basic history .

We do share the practice of voodoo they have Haitian voodoo we have Louisiana voodoo and we sort of share the catholic religion ofc . So yes we have a connection and we have minor differences based off of the way both places ended up in history

You really not making any sense. You say y'all come from The Atlantic Slave trade but yet say you not African American. And you lying if you say that in New Orleans so-called black people don't acknowledge their American Indian heritage. I've been there and seen for myself.
African American is an ethnic group not a race.. the race would be black…. For example black Dominicansbirm in the USA also come from the Atlantic slave trade but their ETHNICITY would not be African American . Their race would be black their ethnicity would be Dominican and their nationality would be American … it’s important to understand the difference between race and ethnicity.. same way if a African person come from Africa their race would be black yes but their ETHNICITY would not be African American their ethnicity would be whichever cultural group they came from in Africa such as Yoruba Igbo ewe Fulani etc and their nationality would be whichever country they hold citizenship… not ever blacks person who has roots from the slave trade ethnicity is African American lol …same as melungeons aren’t African American ethnically they are MELUNGEON even tho their race may still be black
And New Orleans people honor American Indians by doing the Mardi Gras Indian customs during Mardi Gras however if you know the diffuse you would know that’s not them saying they are American Indian lmaooo it’s simple,y as custom done during Mardi Gras

Great job on the video! The definition has certainly evolved over time. In this day & age some would like to expand the definition to be more inclusive. Some believe we look have to look like a multi-ethnic Pepsi-Cola ad. When you look at census records you can see how the people were classified. Native Americans and Filipinos were a distinct category apart from Creole. Some people were not classified at all. To go back to the Filipinos they were called Manilamen which is an identity apart from Creole. It's important not to conflate Creole with Louisianan.
I said they COULD identify as Creole simply bc Creole is anybody regardless of race whose family was in Louisiana prior to 1803. A lot of the Filipinos mixed in with the islenos aka Spanish creoles of St. Bernard parish in Louisiana so some consider themselves creoles and yes some don’t which is fine … however if they only identify as Filipino. Because the definition of who is Louisiana Creole has changed over the centuries we can’t really say they aren’t Louisiana creoles simply bc by definition of what historians agree Louisiana croele to be today they fit the definition. Now had they come after the 1800s then no they would be be under the umbrella of Louisiana Creole.
People get creole and the rest of the black population in Louisiana confused. That's where the "creoles are native American" come from. Because there are infact black natives in Louisiana.
@@princeyehudah4805the Mardi Gras Indians are black people they aren’t native lol the Mardi Gras Indian is a custom that been done during Mardi Gras a long time it’s not them saying they are actually Native American 🤦🏽♀️
Them trying to say all Louisiana creoles are native Americans is ridiculous it erases those of us whom are the descendants of the African slaves brought to Louisiana
I’m sorry if I missed this in the video, but can Louisiana Creoles also have Hispanic / Caribbean ties? Were there any ties between places like Puerto Rico / Cuba and Louisiana during the slave trade?
That's exactly what a Louisiana Creole is. They are Franco, Hispanic, and Italiano. For goodness sake it's the French that coined the term Latin America. Lousiana and Puerto Rico were both territories in the same century. Creole is not the original word nor is exclusive to Louisiana. The original word came from the Portuguese/Spanish Crioulo /Criollo and was first used in Cape Verde. Later the French adopted it (French translation Creole). French was the language of diplomacy so later the English adopted from the French and started wrongly applying to people they considered less than them. Most terms Anglos adopted from Latin culture like negro/noir (black), mulatto, Mestizo (English Mustee).
Both of my Parents are Louisiana French Creole. Some of the things you have said is simply not true. I’m not going to debate but misinformation continues to convolute the already complex narrative. My Grandmother was an activist for our culture.

Good video but I'll share my thoughts. Louisiana Creole isn't "an" ethnic group because there are different cultures amongst Creoles. Creoles in Pointe Coupée DO NOT have the same culture as Black Creoles in New Orleans. Cajun aren't a "Sub" group of Louisiana Creoles, Cajuns are their own group with a specific history that makes them "Cajun" A lot of Black Creoles who descend from slave infact have ties to the 13 colonies because a lot of slaves were brought in from there during the Spanish period and after 1808 many came in and enslaved on Créole plantations and mixed with the Créole slaves. Case in point, Fats Domino ancestry is mixed of Créole Blacks and American Blacks.
@@ListwaLanyap1760 Louisiana Creole is indeed a ethnic group if you look up the definition of ethnicity it fits and the USA census is also trying to recognize us as a ethnic group by telling us to write it in on the census .. and Cajuns are Creole a fellow Cajun Jordan thibodeaux whom shares history on the Cajun culture even said so they are creoles because there history goes back to colonial Louisiana and Louisiana creoles are people who ancestry goes back to Louisiana prior to 1803 in colonial times so by that definition they are also creoles we having the saying all Cajuns are creoles but not all creoles are Cajun for a reason … ethnicity means A term that refers to the social and cultural characteristics, backgrounds, or experiences shared by a group of people so Louisiana creoles is in fact a ethnic groups scholars agree on this
@@ListwaLanyap1760 and yes as I said in the video some creoles do in fact have African American lineage/ancestry however not all do and that’s fine . The fact still remains that Louisiana creoles and African American are 2 separate ethnic groups even tho a person can have both . Even African American CULTURE is not monolithic it’s different depending on the area AA culture in California us different than AA culture in Georgia etc same with Louisiana creoles as you mentioned Pt coupee would not have the same culture as New Orleans however both are still Louisiana creoles. Louisiana creoles have subgroups just like the islenos aka Spanish creoles are a sub group of Louisiana creoles they have a different culture and language but are still under the umbrella of Louisiana creoles 🫶🏾
@@DaCreoleVlog When I said it not "an" ethnic group I meant that it's not a "singular" ethnic group even though people try to make it seem that way. If you consider Cajuns and Isleños as Louisiana Creoles then there no way that these are the ethnic group because they have completely different origins, completely different histories, completely different customs, completely different languages, different foods, different music and the only thing they really share is typically being Catholic. Though people try to separate Black Louisiana Creoles from African Americans so badly yet these people have the same origins, same histories, sometimes are the same families that were just separated by plantation owners who spoke different languages, in Louisiana Black Creoles and African Americans share can share more in common than Black Creoles and White Creoles... because many African Americans are Catholic, many were mono lingual Creole or French speakers also and some of their families still speak Creole
@@ListwaLanyap1760 Cajuns creoles and islenos do not have completely different cultures and languages lol they share the Louisiana creole culture and we all have intermarried with each other many Cajuns have intermarried with creoles over time . And ok same can be said for African Americans, yoruba, Mandinka, Dominicans etc we all have the same origins however yet we’re considered different ethnic groups still lol. There are Cajun families who, only speak Louisiana creole and there are quote on quote creoles families that only speak Cajun French/ Louisiana French so it’s not completely languages and cultures lol. The islenos have also intermarried with creoles as well. So if that’s the case black creoles are similar to African Americans, Yoruba, ewe, Igbo, Cajuns, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Jamaicans etc right however nobody will call a black Dominican ethnically African American even tho we share the African lineage right ? Why is that ? Because we are 2 separate ethnic groups regardless. So while I understand your stance African American and Louisiana creole are not the same ethnic group same way black Caribbeans are not African even tho slaves were traded back and forth between the USA and the caribbean🤷🏽♀️
@@ListwaLanyap1760 and also only a minority of African Americans were catholic the MAJORITY were Protestant Baptist etc. and there are little to no African American families whom were monolingual Creole or French speakers unless they descended from Louisiana creoles slaves in the Americans unless you are speaking in the Gullah geechee people of South Carolina and Georgia who speak a English based creoles not a French based one like in Louisiana. In the USA you cannot go to Florida, New York, Chicago, Tennessee etc and find African American families whom historically spoke Louisiana creole or Louisiana French unless someone on their lineage came from the Louisiana parts so therefore there’s still a cultural difference between African Americans and la creoles and a linguistic one same as there’s a cultural difference between a Yoruba person and a African American even tho we come from there you still can’t call a African American person ETHNICALLY Yoruba today because they are not
Creole is a mixed with black, native, french, and spanish or a mix of any of those mentioned. What she is describing is like a European born in African. Their ethnicity is Afrikan, but they are white. Let's be real. Lol.
Creoles are not all “mixed” lmaoo there are creoles in Africa as well the Sierra Leone creoles they are not mixed and yet still Creole.. check your history the father of Cajun/Creole music améde Ardoin looked very much like me he spoke the Creole language and came from a Creole family yet was not “mixed” or racially ambiguous he was a BLACK man if you walked past him you would never think this is a “mixed” or “biracial” man you would easily see he was black yet he is literally one of the best Cajun/Creole singers from lousiana to ever exist
A lot of Louisiana Creole don’t have any Spanish ancestry as Spain only ruled Louisiana for 40 years and not all mixed in with the Spanish people ! The Spanish Creole groups that’s have Spanish admixture are the “islenos” look them up . The rest of us are either completely African ancestry from the slaves brought to Louisiana or completely European like German, Italian , Scottish, French as the German and other Europeans did immigrate to colonial Louisiana as well that’s why we have the German coast .

@@DaCreoleVlog a lot of people in Sierra Leone and Liberia actually came from America and was sent their by the American Colonization Society. You need to do more research.
There is no such thing as an Afro-Creole or White-Creole. A Creole is a Creole and as long as you identify yourself as a Creole you are basically embracing your African, European and Native American blood. But good video agree with some of the things you said.
Recently there’s been a rise in people identifying as Afro Creole or black Creole to acknowledge that we come from the Africans brought to Louisiana. There are some people who don’t not whom are white creoles and there are others whom are racial ambiguous such as Tina Knowles you can clearly tell she has admixture.

The creole "flag" didn't even exist before 1987. Also you're reading off of google about your own culture and mentioning white Creoles like we all as "African Americans" don't live among white culture or have in the past. So to say "whites can be Creoles" without any context is equivalent to calling blacks English without absolutely no context or to call whites descendant of slaves. Its 2 completely different situations. Leave history to the scholars.
Go looom up Christophe Landry he has a phd he works for ancestry dna and is a fellow Creole and he would even tell you a Louisiana creole is ANYONE regardless of RACE who can trace their ancestors to COLONIAL Louisiana prior to 1803. That includes white people their are race creoles in Louisiana because their families date back to the 1700s in Louisiana such as the mayeux family go look them up before you speak on it I live the culture I grew up in the culture and around the families black , white and mixed race that have been here for centuries and way before 1803 when America took over. Families such as the dauzat, mayeux, carmouche, michot, rabalais, Lacour have been here and are not just black families they are lol Creole families in Louisiana whom include black white and mixed race people to say Louisiana creoles are on,y black is again ridiculous bc it literally just means your family been here in Louisiana since before American bought it
@@DaCreoleVlog Creoles are mostly mixed black people at the most, the white people you're talking about are the minority, the fact that everyone barely see any non blacks and you have to activately search for them shows this. The French did a number on some of you from Louisiana to have this mentality. Regardless of how long they date back, the flag was created that late for a reason, also it isn't a good look. There's no white people on this planet who celebrate the black side of themselves and represent it on their flag.

No, they weren't black, there was nobody in my family that looked black because they were mixed with a LOT of French. As my grandma said, "We didn't associate with the whites, and we didn't associate with the blacks."
@@Danielle-ck6msyour grandmother was colorist then because if your actually do your research on Louisiana croeles you will see that there are surviving painting of dark skinned croeles in the 1700s-1800s even in New Orleans lol. You cannot just tell somebody they aren’t Creole because they came out darker skinned ! So you would tell a light skinned Creole woman who produced a darker skinned baby that she’s Creole but her baby is not because the baby is darker skinned ? Please answer that because that makes no sense if your parents is Creole your also CREOLE wth
@@DaCreoleVlog She wasn't colorist, she was just actually creole. I don't need to do research, I knew about being creole from my family, it's in my blood ..That's why I think that I can tell somebody if they're creole or not, I came from a creole grandma from an old creole family that was recognized as creole wayyyy before the internet. Btw, I said nothing about skin color, however to be frank any dark skinned creoles look middle eastern, they don't even look as black as an Ethiopian. Anyway hon, no one is going to mistake you for a creole even if they squint, you're a pretty young black lady and that is good enough. Black culture has touched the world, creole culture hasn't...think about that.

@@thelinnfamily2020 Creole is not a race. She literally explained how it works. Anyone whose ancestors were born in the French colony of Louisiana prior to 1803 is Creole. There were fully black Africans being born in the Louisiana colony. They were Creole speaking citizens of French Louisiana aka Creole. Louisiana was literally a foreign country. It was not America. Creole was basically the same thing as saying “Louisianian.” The same way there are fully/predominantly black Dominicans who are culturally different from African Americans despite sharing African heritage is the same way Creole works. A black Creole in 1800 would’ve been NOTHING like an African American despite them both being racially black. They wouldn’t have even spoken the same language as oneanother. Same as a black Dominican. 3 people who are racially black but from 3 distinct cultures. The reason people think of mixed people when they think of Creoles is because the French & Spanish mixed much more freely with the Africans in Louisiana than the British did in America so you’d see far more mixed Creoles than mixed Americans so they started associating Creoles with their large mixed population because that wasn’t normal for Americans to see but these are not the only Creoles. Whether she has admixture or not has nothing to do with the fact that both sides of her family have been in Louisiana since it was a French colony.

@@Affluentauspiciousgoddess6 maybe so if their ancestry stretches back to before 1803 then yea
At some point speaking our language was forbidden. They wouldn't let us speak it in school and some parents/grandparents decided to stop teaching the children altogether because it was frowned on. They told my maw maw that my mama couldn't go to school unless she spoke English. We'd hear it when the adults were speaking and didn't want the kids to know what or who they was talking about. But we always knew the names and cuss words 😂. I can speak and understand some but it always fills me with joy to see some the younger generations keeping our language and culture alive. Learn all you can from your elders. It may not seem important when you're young, but you'll appreciate it so much when you get older. It will give you a better understanding and pride of who you are.

I’m of the Bantu Black Sub Saharan African tribes in terms of my Black bloodlines. Location wise … been here since Colonial Louisiana and one full Black ancestor was my great grandmother who was a free person of color and came here from Haiti. To post Colonial Louisiana but prior to 1921 when we truly went under Anglo American law. My European bloodlines and lineages are Latin European … Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian. My Native American is Choctaw. The Choctaw tribe did migrate here from Mexico though. It’s ethnically Mexican indigenous. I am part White European as well. Bloodline and lineages that consist of Scott’s Irish, Irish, and German. I’m also a tenth Anglo. English, Welsh, and Norwegian. The Anglo is minimal though. ❤️❤️❤️ We are an Afro - Latin ethnic group as Louisiana Creoles of Color! Being that we are Sub Saharan African and Latin European. Mostly. Most Creoles of Color are of different variations of Sub Saharan African lineage and Latin European as well as Native American Indigenous blood. ❤️❤️❤️ There are Louisiana Creoles that are not admixed at all and are 100% Black though. There are White Louisiana Creoles that are a mixture of White and Latin European too. ❤️❤️❤️ I love to see another Louisiana Creole that actually knows the history and knows what they’re talking about.

@@DaCreoleVlogEthnicity is not the same as race though. You can be of an ethnic group and still be racially something different.
@@carrington2949 I never once said that race and ethnicity are the same . We were talking about how people identify ETHNICALLY. So ethnically I am Louisiana Creole and racially I’m black so I’m a black Louisiana Creole … African American is not a race it’s an ethnicity same with Louisiana Creole it’s an ethnic group ..
@@DaCreoleVlog I never stated that you literally said the words. I merely called out the distinction. The US census has it listed as race with the category of black/African American. In the context of this country, it is not really an ethnic groups as predetermined by what ethnicity is defined to be as there is no common descent. The tribes are from everywhere. Even then there is no pure African blood. Even culturally the people differ as to foods and practices within regions. The idea of calling African Americans an ethnic group has become a practice within the diaspora. That is not really correct by anthropological and sociological standards for the word ethnicity. In other words- black people from other parts of the world just started doing it. 🙄
@@carrington2949 I get it but it’s seen as an ethnic group and I’m not going to tell people who do consider themselves African American that they’re not a ethnic group me personally I identify as racially black but not ethnically African American I identify as ethnically Louisiana Creole we have a deep history and culture I know other black ppl who don’t identify as ethnically aa like some Gullah geechee some melungeon some Afro Romani people etc people tend to assume that just because our family are from the United States that mean we ware ethnically African American lpl

Do you mind if I post a reaction to some of this? I get extra bombarded when I try to even hint at Louisiana Creole NOT being a sub category of African American because they assume I’m coming from a racial standpoint and just don’t want to be “black” but they’re so ignorant because I never deny my African heritage. I always try to reassure people that it’s not my “blackness” or “Africannness” that I’m running from. I’m just quite literally of a whole other ethnicity but that doesn’t negate my racial composition. Whether you call me Creole or African American, that’s not going to stop me from being racially half white lol. So I just want to show that it’s not just mixed Creoles saying we aren’t African American because we don’t want to be seen as black. Any REAL Creole of any racial background understands that we are our own ethnic group regardless of whatever our race is and being Creole does not exempt us from blackness if we are indeed black/mixed with black. They act like if we don’t say we’re African American then we’re not saying we’re black as if African Americans are the only black people. Again, great job!! ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️

I often use Afro Creole, for several reasons. 1. I'm from New Orleans 7th Ward. HARDHEAD 4 LIFE. 2. New Orleans as a port city thrived because of the Transatlantic slave trade which transported bought sold and traded thousands of enslaved peoples from West, Central and Southeastern Africa. 3. Nearly a 100 different African ethnicities and places of origin are documented to be shipped and sold to the nearby plantations. 4. The main ethnographic groups are the Bambara,Makwa, Hausa, Yoruba, Fon, BaCongo, BaLouba Ngolo, Igbo, Kanga, Chamba, Ashanti, Fanti, Coramanti, Mandinka, etc. 5. They are in my DNA predominantly. 6. My Mitochondrial and Y Chromosomal DNA lineages are the Temne of Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and Bissa of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫. 7. My Ancestors who been here since the 1700s, are of many (French, English, Irish Native) but I chose to recognize and reclaim my African ancestry more. 8. New Orleans is the most northern Caribbean city with the most African influenced culture and retention that I participate in daily. 9. CONGO SQUARE is foundation for our heritage, traditions, rituals, and customs that we see throughout the African Diaspora. A place of an African amalgamation.

Cajuns are creoles, which I assume is what you’re talking about. The only reason they decided to name themselves Cajun was because of the new laws of segregation that was being forced upon in Louisiana. The state was a melting pot..a culture. Calling yourself creole was basically calling yourself a negro back in those days, so they separated by sticking with white people, lighter skinned people that could pass or mullattos that could pass as white. This is when you see the shift of Creoles vs. Cajuns. My family is from Baton Rouge, I’m a REAL creole and I’m sensitive about my s**t.

African American is an ethnic group not a race.. the race would be black…. For example black Dominicansbirm in the USA also come from the Atlantic slave trade but their ETHNICITY would not be African American . Their race would be black their ethnicity would be Dominican and their nationality would be American … it’s important to understand the difference between race and ethnicity.. same way if a African person come from Africa their race would be black yes but their ETHNICITY would not be African American their ethnicity would be whichever cultural group they came from in Africa such as Yoruba Igbo ewe Fulani etc and their nationality would be whichever country they hold citizenship… not ever blacks person who has roots from the slave trade ethnicity is African American lol …same as melungeons aren’t African American ethnically they are MELUNGEON even tho their race may still be black

Great job on the video! The definition has certainly evolved over time. In this day & age some would like to expand the definition to be more inclusive. Some believe we look have to look like a multi-ethnic Pepsi-Cola ad. When you look at census records you can see how the people were classified. Native Americans and Filipinos were a distinct category apart from Creole. Some people were not classified at all. To go back to the Filipinos they were called Manilamen which is an identity apart from Creole. It's important not to conflate Creole with Louisianan.
I said they COULD identify as Creole simply bc Creole is anybody regardless of race whose family was in Louisiana prior to 1803. A lot of the Filipinos mixed in with the islenos aka Spanish creoles of St. Bernard parish in Louisiana so some consider themselves creoles and yes some don’t which is fine … however if they only identify as Filipino. Because the definition of who is Louisiana Creole has changed over the centuries we can’t really say they aren’t Louisiana creoles simply bc by definition of what historians agree Louisiana croele to be today they fit the definition. Now had they come after the 1800s then no they would be be under the umbrella of Louisiana Creole.

@@DaCreoleVlog ok, because supposedly one of my great great grandparents was Creole and Puerto Rican and involved in slavery. That’s why I asked
@@maestrosavage1359it’s very very possible !
Yes
That's exactly what a Louisiana Creole is. They are Franco, Hispanic, and Italiano. For goodness sake it's the French that coined the term Latin America. Lousiana and Puerto Rico were both territories in the same century. Creole is not the original word nor is exclusive to Louisiana. The original word came from the Portuguese/Spanish Crioulo /Criollo and was first used in Cape Verde. Later the French adopted it (French translation Creole). French was the language of diplomacy so later the English adopted from the French and started wrongly applying to people they considered less than them. Most terms Anglos adopted from Latin culture like negro/noir (black), mulatto, Mestizo (English Mustee).
Both of my Parents are Louisiana French Creole. Some of the things you have said is simply not true. I’m not going to debate but misinformation continues to convolute the already complex narrative. My Grandmother was an activist for our culture.
Both of my parents come from Louisiana Creole descent especially on my mothers side . Everything I said can be Confirmed by historians within the community .
she said nothing but facts.
@@DaCreoleVlog You are very much a black person from the south and that in itself is something to be proud of. You don't need to be creole to be okay. Black is good enough.
@@Danielle-ck6msI’m very much a black person of Louisiana Creole dewy my family has been in Louisiana a long time before America even bought the territory YOU don’t need to try to bring other people down because your insecure because I know exactly where I come from down to where my AFRICAN ancestors who came to Louisiana originally came from . I’m not ashamed of anything about myself I’m a BLACK Louisiana Creole my RACE is BLACK my ETHNICITY is LOUISIANA CREOLE my NATIONALITY is AMERICAN get over it . If I was lighter skinned with green eyes etc you wouldn’t feel the need to say what you said you really believe somebody can’t be apart of a certain ETHNIC group if they look a certain way which is weird and inaccurate because when it comes to ETHNIC groups which goes hand and hand with CULTURE you don’t have to be a certain race or look a certain way
@@DaCreoleVlog Oh honey, believe me, I'm quite secure. So secure that I only claim the races and cultures in my blood and that I grew up with. You're not insecure? Then why are you trying to cosplay as a group of people who are nothing like you? I mean, like at all. Yes creoles look a certain way just like you as a black, west African descended person look a certain way. No girl you can't be part of it if you're not from it. Can a fish claim to be a tiger because they both have stripes? If you had your same features with light skin and green eyes I would not think that you were creole and I've said that. You keep bringing up skin color so obviously it's an issue with you, hence you coming on RUclips cosplaying creole. You are black and even if you spoke French no one would think that you're creole, they'd think that you're Haitian or from Ghana. Honestly, all you're doing is googling creole history and associating yourself with it. You're talking like a total outsider looking in.
We got over 30 million new immigrate in America y'all keep playing y'all gonna end up being just a little separate tribe of colours
I think we should all just stop caring so much about race, nationality etc…our race and where we are from is ONLY a part of who we are … when I meet people I don’t care where they are from or what they look like or what their culture is…I care more about what’s in a persons heart and how they conduct themselves like morals, principles and values than any skin color, what religion they practice or where they grew up
I never really understood the African title, could you speak a little on that part?
@@dannyboi4357 what do you mean the African title? As in how some Louisianans descend exclusively from the Africans brought to Louisiana ?
@@DaCreoleVlog yes partially. But a step further for instance would be Alfonso the african as they call him, would be from Gaul, portugese or africa. Are black louisiana crole that or are they different? forgive me for the silly question. it just a little convoluted when europe would be lets say 15 nations and Black would be 1 term African. I hope me question makes sense.
@@dannyboi4357 we say Africa because we don’t exactly know specifically where in Africa we come from we simply know it’s west and central Africa regions
@@DaCreoleVlog ok understandable. Is it safe to say what we call the "Atlantic slave trade" and the Asiento de Negros are the same?
I often use Afro Creole, for several reasons. 1. I'm from New Orleans 7th Ward. HARDHEAD 4 LIFE. New Orleans as a port city thrived because of the Transatlantic slave trade transported which bought sold and traded enslaved peoples from West, Central and Southeastern Africa. 3. Nearly a 100 African ethnicities and places of origin are documented to be shipped and sold to the nearby plantations. 4. The main ethnographic groups are the Bambara,Makwa, Hausa, Yoruba, Fon, BaCongo, BaLouba Ngolo, Igbo, Kanga, Chamba, Ashanti, Fanti, Coramanti, Mandinka, etc. 5. They are in my DNA predominantly. 6. My Mitochondrial and Y Chromosomal DNA lineage are the Temne of Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and Bissa of Burkina Faso 🇧🇫. 7. My Ancestors who been here since the 1700s, are of many but I chose to recognize and reclaim my African ancestry.
Where the Romani and Afro Romanis here at❓
@@KAH-7 you can find them in Saint Martin parish in Louisiana. The romani slaves that Spain sent to lousiana mixed with African slaves and created the Afro Romani population in Louisiana. Also can be found in California and few other places 🫶🏾 they are sometimes pejoratively called “Gypsies” however the proper term is Romani
Good video but I'll share my thoughts.
Louisiana Creole isn't "an" ethnic group because there are different cultures amongst Creoles.
Creoles in Pointe Coupée DO NOT have the same culture as Black Creoles in New Orleans.
Cajun aren't a "Sub" group of Louisiana Creoles, Cajuns are their own group with a specific history that makes them "Cajun"
A lot of Black Creoles who descend from slave infact have ties to the 13 colonies because a lot of slaves were brought in from there during the Spanish period and after 1808 many came in and enslaved on Créole plantations and mixed with the Créole slaves. Case in point, Fats Domino ancestry is mixed of Créole Blacks and American Blacks.
@@ListwaLanyap1760 Louisiana Creole is indeed a ethnic group if you look up the definition of ethnicity it fits and the USA census is also trying to recognize us as a ethnic group by telling us to write it in on the census .. and Cajuns are Creole a fellow Cajun Jordan thibodeaux whom shares history on the Cajun culture even said so they are creoles because there history goes back to colonial Louisiana and Louisiana creoles are people who ancestry goes back to Louisiana prior to 1803 in colonial times so by that definition they are also creoles we having the saying all Cajuns are creoles but not all creoles are Cajun for a reason … ethnicity means A term that refers to the social and cultural characteristics, backgrounds, or experiences shared by a group of people so Louisiana creoles is in fact a ethnic groups scholars agree on this
@@ListwaLanyap1760 and yes as I said in the video some creoles do in fact have African American lineage/ancestry however not all do and that’s fine . The fact still remains that Louisiana creoles and African American are 2 separate ethnic groups even tho a person can have both . Even African American CULTURE is not monolithic it’s different depending on the area AA culture in California us different than AA culture in Georgia etc same with Louisiana creoles as you mentioned Pt coupee would not have the same culture as New Orleans however both are still Louisiana creoles. Louisiana creoles have subgroups just like the islenos aka Spanish creoles are a sub group of Louisiana creoles they have a different culture and language but are still under the umbrella of Louisiana creoles 🫶🏾
@@DaCreoleVlog
When I said it not "an" ethnic group I meant that it's not a "singular" ethnic group even though people try to make it seem that way. If you consider Cajuns and Isleños as Louisiana Creoles then there no way that these are the ethnic group because they have completely different origins, completely different histories, completely different customs, completely different languages, different foods, different music and the only thing they really share is typically being Catholic.
Though people try to separate Black Louisiana Creoles from African Americans so badly yet these people have the same origins, same histories, sometimes are the same families that were just separated by plantation owners who spoke different languages, in Louisiana Black Creoles and African Americans share can share more in common than Black Creoles and White Creoles... because many African Americans are Catholic, many were mono lingual Creole or French speakers also and some of their families still speak Creole
@@ListwaLanyap1760 Cajuns creoles and islenos do not have completely different cultures and languages lol they share the Louisiana creole culture and we all have intermarried with each other many Cajuns have intermarried with creoles over time . And ok same can be said for African Americans, yoruba, Mandinka, Dominicans etc we all have the same origins however yet we’re considered different ethnic groups still lol. There are Cajun families who, only speak Louisiana creole and there are quote on quote creoles families that only speak Cajun French/ Louisiana French so it’s not completely languages and cultures lol. The islenos have also intermarried with creoles as well. So if that’s the case black creoles are similar to African Americans, Yoruba, ewe, Igbo, Cajuns, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Jamaicans etc right however nobody will call a black Dominican ethnically African American even tho we share the African lineage right ? Why is that ? Because we are 2 separate ethnic groups regardless. So while I understand your stance African American and Louisiana creole are not the same ethnic group same way black Caribbeans are not African even tho slaves were traded back and forth between the USA and the caribbean🤷🏽♀️
@@ListwaLanyap1760 and also only a minority of African Americans were catholic the MAJORITY were Protestant Baptist etc. and there are little to no African American families whom were monolingual Creole or French speakers unless they descended from Louisiana creoles slaves in the Americans unless you are speaking in the Gullah geechee people of South Carolina and Georgia who speak a English based creoles not a French based one like in Louisiana. In the USA you cannot go to Florida, New York, Chicago, Tennessee etc and find African American families whom historically spoke Louisiana creole or Louisiana French unless someone on their lineage came from the Louisiana parts so therefore there’s still a cultural difference between African Americans and la creoles and a linguistic one same as there’s a cultural difference between a Yoruba person and a African American even tho we come from there you still can’t call a African American person ETHNICALLY Yoruba today because they are not
Creole is a mixed with black, native, french, and spanish or a mix of any of those mentioned. What she is describing is like a European born in African. Their ethnicity is Afrikan, but they are white. Let's be real. Lol.
Creoles are not all “mixed” lmaoo there are creoles in Africa as well the Sierra Leone creoles they are not mixed and yet still Creole.. check your history the father of Cajun/Creole music améde Ardoin looked very much like me he spoke the Creole language and came from a Creole family yet was not “mixed” or racially ambiguous he was a BLACK man if you walked past him you would never think this is a “mixed” or “biracial” man you would easily see he was black yet he is literally one of the best Cajun/Creole singers from lousiana to ever exist
A lot of Louisiana Creole don’t have any Spanish ancestry as Spain only ruled Louisiana for 40 years and not all mixed in with the Spanish people ! The Spanish Creole groups that’s have Spanish admixture are the “islenos” look them up . The rest of us are either completely African ancestry from the slaves brought to Louisiana or completely European like German, Italian , Scottish, French as the German and other Europeans did immigrate to colonial Louisiana as well that’s why we have the German coast . Or some are a mixed of all 3 African, European and native
@@DaCreoleVlogI do Portugese
Im african, french, candian and portugese ancestry. Also Beyonce anf I share a decendant. A great grandfather
@@DaCreoleVlog a lot of people in Sierra Leone and Liberia actually came from America and was sent their by the American Colonization Society. You need to do more research.
There is no such thing as an Afro-Creole or White-Creole. A Creole is a Creole and as long as you identify yourself as a Creole you are basically embracing your African, European and Native American blood. But good video agree with some of the things you said.
Recently there’s been a rise in people identifying as Afro Creole or black Creole to acknowledge that we come from the Africans brought to Louisiana. There are some people who don’t not whom are white creoles and there are others whom are racial ambiguous such as Tina Knowles you can clearly tell she has admixture. We are creoles yes but we just use the Afro in front of it or say black creoles just to give praise to our African ancestors since everyone seems lot think a Creole person is suppose to be only like a lightskin green eyed quadroon only
@DaCreoleVlog When it comes to light-skinned people they could just identify as Creole and nobody say nothing that’s just making it sound like to me for us Creoles who are a darker complexion aren’t meant to be Creole
@@DaCreoleVlog and by saying your a “Creole” you basically saying you come from the Africans brought to Louisiana anyway you don’t have to identify as a “Afro-Creole” people are already going to know because of your complexion
@@TheCreoleGentleman yes true nobody questions lighter skinned creoles but when it comes to those of us who are darker we get shunned crazy bc I’ve literally had somebody tell me my mother was Creole my grandparents my sister but that I’m not Creole because I’m the darkest one that is crazy to me lol
@@TheCreoleGentleman nah I say it because people think that when you say your Creole that your disconnecting yourself from anything black or African when for me that’s not the case that’s just my heritage, culture etc
The creole "flag" didn't even exist before 1987. Also you're reading off of google about your own culture and mentioning white Creoles like we all as "African Americans" don't live among white culture or have in the past. So to say "whites can be Creoles" without any context is equivalent to calling blacks English without absolutely no context or to call whites descendant of slaves. Its 2 completely different situations. Leave history to the scholars.
Go looom up Christophe Landry he has a phd he works for ancestry dna and is a fellow Creole and he would even tell you a Louisiana creole is ANYONE regardless of RACE who can trace their ancestors to COLONIAL Louisiana prior to 1803. That includes white people their are race creoles in Louisiana because their families date back to the 1700s in Louisiana such as the mayeux family go look them up before you speak on it I live the culture I grew up in the culture and around the families black , white and mixed race that have been here for centuries and way before 1803 when America took over. Families such as the dauzat, mayeux, carmouche, michot, rabalais, Lacour have been here and are not just black families they are lol Creole families in Louisiana whom include black white and mixed race people to say Louisiana creoles are on,y black is again ridiculous bc it literally just means your family been here in Louisiana since before American bought it
@@DaCreoleVlog Creoles are mostly mixed black people at the most, the white people you're talking about are the minority, the fact that everyone barely see any non blacks and you have to activately search for them shows this. The French did a number on some of you from Louisiana to have this mentality. Regardless of how long they date back, the flag was created that late for a reason, also it isn't a good look. There's no white people on this planet who celebrate the black side of themselves and represent it on their flag.

@@Elias_Truth dang
creels are black w alittle French
No, they weren't black, there was nobody in my family that looked black because they were mixed with a LOT of French. As my grandma said, "We didn't associate with the whites, and we didn't associate with the blacks."
Creoles are Creoles.
@@Danielle-ck6msyour grandmother was colorist then because if your actually do your research on Louisiana croeles you will see that there are surviving painting of dark skinned croeles in the 1700s-1800s even in New Orleans lol. You cannot just tell somebody they aren’t Creole because they came out darker skinned ! So you would tell a light skinned Creole woman who produced a darker skinned baby that she’s Creole but her baby is not because the baby is darker skinned ? Please answer that because that makes no sense if your parents is Creole your also CREOLE wth
@@DaCreoleVlog She wasn't colorist, she was just actually creole. I don't need to do research, I knew about being creole from my family, it's in my blood ..That's why I think that I can tell somebody if they're creole or not, I came from a creole grandma from an old creole family that was recognized as creole wayyyy before the internet. Btw, I said nothing about skin color, however to be frank any dark skinned creoles look middle eastern, they don't even look as black as an Ethiopian. Anyway hon, no one is going to mistake you for a creole even if they squint, you're a pretty young black lady and that is good enough. Black culture has touched the world, creole culture hasn't...think about that.

@@Toont-r3z not all creoles are mixed breeds ! Do look “mixed breed” to you !? .. and yet I still form from a long line of Creoles in Louisiana.

Love Louisiana ppl have a Creole culture nobody has Creole DNA Creole is man made there is no DNA scientific proof to say a man made name has DNA especially when they came from another part of the world now Iam from new Iberia Louisiana my DNA test said I was African my ethnicity is bantu not African American etc and 14% European which comes from France and Scotland I have 0 indigenous no Asian also with a Creole culture
I never said there Creole dna lol. I explained the difference between race and ethnicity… and I think I did my GENETIC COMMUNITIES on my ancestry dna test say LOUISIANA CREOLES and early Louisiana Acadians so I’m not sure where your getting the creole dna thing from I clearly said black creoles are descendants of AFRICAN slaves brought to Louisiana from what would be the senegambian and Malian region of west Africa lol…. And look up what a ETHNICITY is we are a group of people who share the same customs language culture etc … Louisiana Creole is its own ethnic group in the United States same as African American is same as Cajun is a ethnic group and we are able to write that in on then USA census record as we’ve been encouraged to do please look up Louisiana Creole as ethnic group on the census lol
Are you claiming to be 86 percent Bantu? If so that’s extremely rare because most of the Africans sent there were from West Africa

African American just like she said❓
Creole isn’t a race. It’s heritage.
@@thelinnfamily2020 Creole is not a race.
She literally explained how it works. Anyone whose ancestors were born in the French colony of Louisiana prior to 1803 is Creole. There were fully black Africans being born in the Louisiana colony. They were Creole speaking citizens of French Louisiana aka Creole. Louisiana was literally a foreign country. It was not America. Creole was basically the same thing as saying “Louisianian.” The same way there are fully/predominantly black Dominicans who are culturally different from African Americans despite sharing African heritage is the same way Creole works. A black Creole in 1800 would’ve been NOTHING like an African American despite them both being racially black. They wouldn’t have even spoken the same language as oneanother. Same as a black Dominican. 3 people who are racially black but from 3 distinct cultures. The reason people think of mixed people when they think of Creoles is because the French & Spanish mixed much more freely with the Africans in Louisiana than the British did in America so you’d see far more mixed Creoles than mixed Americans so they started associating Creoles with their large mixed population because that wasn’t normal for Americans to see but these are not the only Creoles. Whether she has admixture or not has nothing to do with the fact that both sides of her family have been in Louisiana since it was a French colony.
