[@ManeAttractionsinBowieMd]

Great videos keep it up:)

[@CVNHOUSTON]

Nice video sir.

[@kingech_B15]

you not alone

[@augustinecomeaux]

Creoles are Racially and ethnically mixed .Creoles are part Black, White, Indian Spanish and French just to name a few.Race is not a defining characteristic of being a Creole.Creole is a Culture not a Race.We come from Louisiana and have Our own Culture.some still speak Creole and We all kind of eat the same food,Gumbo,Jambalaya,Shrimp Creole,enjoy Zydeco music and have strong Catholic religious roots..but that may not always be the case.more importantly we have strong family ties in Louisiana

[@Mxyzptlk562]

My family is also from Louisiana as well...mostly around New Orleans, Shreveport and Baton Rouge. Yes, you are correct that many Creoles of Color did come from Haiti after the revolution there. However, there were also a large Creole of Color population in Louisiana before the mass migration from Haiti as well. Also don't forget that the Louisiana Territory belonged to the French and Spanish until 1803. French was widely spoken there too.

[@maceioninjutsu]

im proud to be creole, but im still black

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez Slaves brought to Louisiana were already Creole speaking.You are forgetting that White Creoles adopted this word from Creole Slaves.I am also a Louisiana Creole & I've been hearing this myth put out by "George Washington Cable "& believe Me it's far from the truth. All My life I've been hearing People who know very little about Us or Our Culture claim that We don't exist & are by products of Other Cultures.Enough is enough.It's Time We Creoles took control of Our Culture

[@TheMIZBEAUTY1]

i am half creole asian and african

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez Chicago was settled by A Haitian Creole and for Your info, It too was a French possession.My Louisiana Ancestors go back to the 18th Century long before the Spanish took possession of Louisiana My ancestors are veterans of the Battle of New Orleans & All of Them live throughout the State of Louisiana .Many left Because Your Ancestors chased them away with their Racist ways. I'm a Louisiana Raised in Chicago. I live in New Orleans in Gentilly and also California..So what !!

[@og-greenmachine8623]

HATIANS are only Creole because they were owned by Louisiana Creoles The sons and daughters of French planters who owned them and had them to work growing sugar cane They are “Kreyol” NOT Creole

[@og-greenmachine8623]

The French planters came from France and were single men that left their women at home they were lonely they had no women so when they saw the slave ships came in they pick the prettiest African slaves and immediately made them wives that’s where Louisiana Creole people came from!!!!! those AFRICAN FREE WOMEN owned the other slaves in many cases that slave woman that was wed to a white FRENCHMAN? when he died would inherit his slaves and ran his plantation and African women actually ran slaves. learn your goddamn history!!!

[@MarabouKreyol]

To all of you, stop fighting. Creole does not refer to color. It is the mixture of any Colored with a European. It is a mixture or different races like Native American, African, European and nowadays we have Chiney who are Asian Creole. Let say any one who can trace 2 of these races can call him/herself creole or mulatto as it used to be called. The word creole was mostly for the descent of Slaves borns in the Antilles (French Caribbean). At the end, though, Jesus knows no color!

[@Fuzzbabby]

Im creole by the way

[@augustinecomeaux]

@smartkitty991 I'm a bit con fused..Not all Creoles come from Haiti..We are Louisiana Creoles and My Grandparents speak Louisiana Creole, which is similar to Haitian Creole..Some of Our Ancestors come from Haiti...Augustine, My name is Haitian If You remember, during the Haitian Revolution in 1804 over 20,000 Haitian Free People of Color, Blacks and Whites fled to New Orleans and Cuba..Creoles are World wide, in fact We are the Oldest Minorities in the America's. We are proud of Our Heritage

[@honeegrrl]

I'm black and my entire family is different races because of interracial marrying my family. Every time I go to my family reunion, I ask my mom, am I from this family? LOL

[@LostTribeShorti]

alphalllum>>I totally agree

[@sidittygal]

@ckfastback As my family always put in. In Northern Lousiana, if you were to ride the bus during segregation, where would you end up sitting? With the black people. Almost ALL african americans are mixed, creole is not a completely separate race, and the only reason it was ever considered such was to create a racial hierarchy to enforce old antiquated self hatred such as paper bag tests.

[@augustinecomeaux]

I'm the Guy and those words are mine. I didn't know that I could throw my voice...Ha Ha

[@Mxyzptlk562]

It depends. Your statement itself has been the mantra for years because there has long been and still is a tendency to admit European and Native ancestry and ignore or omit the African ancestry. My family is from Louisiana and I grew up a part of LA where there were a lot of Creoles who also originally came from Louisiana. Obvious to anyone who has been around them, Creoles range in color from dark complete to almost white. However to say they are mostly one of over the other is inaccurate.

[@LostTribeShorti]

MXYZptlk562.. TRU TRUE.. Never denied that.. You r correct. Cest ca!

[@LostTribeShorti]

TomZero> Well it soley DEPENDS ON THE PERCENTAGE of African blood. Iam french creole/haitian and i don't look caucasian or indian really. i have Native american blood. I look black mostly but my mom is very fair skinned. There are alot of creoles who are brown-skinned and have ethnic hair>like me.. MOST CREOLEs I know definetely have OBVIOUS african blood. So don't try to downplay the african ancestry. Personally from a AA CREOLE's point of view i feel like your statement is'nt completely true

[@tianglade]

Go Creole/Saints won the superbowl...

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez I have no idea just where You got all this Mumbo jumbo from but I'm amazed. .Creoles was a name given to the first Born African slaves in the New World.Creole is a Mixture of African & French & is spoken in Louisiana, Haiti ,Africa,throughout the New World,on the Islands off the Coast of Africa & in South America.Many Louisiana White Creoles also speak Creole which they learned from the Slaves Who were considered Creoles way before The Spanish took possession of Louisiana

[@l9ois]

Is the guy who made this video the guy talking

[@maceioninjutsu]

you must have every creole person in the louisiana, wow lmao.

[@maceioninjutsu]

asians and blacks

[@augustinecomeaux]

@moneylover202

[@smartkitty991]

@augustinecomeaux Yeah, duh, I know! As I mentioned earlier, i'm haitian too! i come from a long line of black hatians, and three fourths of my family ARE from haiti, Fyi! i'm not saying there aren't any creoles in louisana. i was just asking! i'm just as proud as you are to be haitian! don't be getting confused.

[@lotusboy24]

@IslenoGutierrez If ur reffering to CREOLE, u forgot African American. The people u are refering to are cajuns, theres a difference, Im a creole myself, born & raised in Louisiana, & so was my ancestors, so I know what I'm talkin about. & u cant realy on google for all of ur info, u must 4got, google is full of bloggers who think they know what they talkin bout. Take it from a real creole like da one in this video and me, we know our culture and racial background betta than da google bloggers.

[@smartkitty991]

@augustinecomeaux okay, so are you really creole? ou est un haitian? because let me tell you something... i'm creole too. i'm know haitian creole too. is your family from haiti?huh? i'm not trying to be hostile, i'm just asking.

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez Good for You .You know Your Own History but not Ours.I don't care where You got Your Info from It is a reflection of You & Your Family's point of View & nothing else..You show me Some documentation and I'll be tickled pink, in the meantime I suggest You learn more about the Creole Culture before You start making assumptions. Creoles have been mixing With Whites & Native Americans from day one .are You telling Me that The White Mixture of French does not count for anything

[@augustinecomeaux]

sorry you got it half right...Creole is a Culture and a Language....Ah... but Mixed Race Creoles are a Racial Minority..they are neither White nor Black..

[@maceioninjutsu]

also may I include "if you look black means your black, so if you look white means your white? lmao... "contradictory" so if your latino and look black means your not latino (culture)for ex. lyod (dominican) from murder inc, sammie sosa, stacy dash, marlin santana, wycleff (french) which is latin, etc. dude you have a-lot to learn. by the way you have more light and dark skin stating that they are creole vs white; black people accept whites as if that makes us look better, whites dont accept

[@moneylover202]

Hey come on insted of making a video on KZbin which is a good start if you really want us Creoles to be reconized then do something host a creole march protest yell Obama what our people did for this country presevere our language write beyonce a letter she's rich

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez Creoles are White Black & Mixed Race.Go Wikipedia it.You've been reading these Racist orientated Dictionaries for Too long.It's time You thought for Yourself.It Is Well documented that the First Creoles were Mixed Race & Black . Creole in Spanish means to Create.I'm a Louisiana Creole as well &m I don't need anyone else telling Me what I am & Just Who I should Be.Nice Try.Stop trying to dis associate Us.Creoles are World Wide not just in Louisiana.Do Your Ancestors speak Creole?

[@augustinecomeaux]

O.K. of Course there are Creoles throughout the louisiana Purchase Territory and there are Creoles throughout the 50 states And ????... You're right Canray, Bois Sec and Amede Probably did not Listen to Zydeco ,although they Created the Style and there are over three million Creoles throughout the U.S. and I'm sure not every one of them like Zydeco, so whats Your point ?

[@maceioninjutsu]

last one, if you travelled then you know us creole look different and have different complexions, belize,panama,jamaica,vi,trinadad,hatti,dominican republic and dominica, new orleans,grenada,nasa,bermuda,gerenada to name a few per say. I know for a fact you dont know what the hell your talking about. remember creole is a culture like latino is, so you could a be chinesse creole or latino so I'm assuming that you have just found out about being creole from your parents, YANKEE BWAYY

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez Why should I go to Loyola University to research this Lady.She's no authority on Free Persons of Color and she's certainly not a Creole of Color..For that matter she is neither a Historian She Writes novels so It's a moot issue.. Maybe You should pick up a Creole Book and get the other picture perhaps You can learn something about Other..The Real world is not Exclusively reserved for Whites

[@augustinecomeaux]

Are You for real.To say the least.White Creoles came to Us We didn't come to You.It's called" Whitey in the wood pile"The City of Chicago Officially acknowledges Jean Baptiste Point du Sable as their First Citizen.& He was a Haitian Creole.Just what are You thinking ?Creoles accompanied the Conquistadors into the New World.They were part of Spain's Moorish influence.Try reading the true History not this Racist B.S.You learned in School.Some Creoles Are Racist as well.Racist come in all Colors

[@augustinecomeaux]

I don't lie to strangers.I kind of suspect that If You are from Louisiana You would know more about Your people that you say..We are proud Louisiana Creoles & if it wasn't for the Racist attitudes You & others like You constantly display We would still be in Louisiana today.I'm a proud resident of California and New Orleans with businesses & Homes in both places.Have You ever been anywhere else Because it sounds like You are very ignorant of Your surroundings, other Peoples & culture

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez Who Cares What Kate Cholin says...She speaks for Your community not Ours lets stop this negativity ..She's speaks for The European not the Multi Racial Creoles Who were not even given the time of day in Ante Bellum Louisiana..Again stop throwing this sort of thing up in Our Faces listen to the truth and not someone who glorifies White Creoles..Do You really know anything about the Creole of Color other that what You hear others say ??

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez .Many Creoles Were never Slaves.They Built the French Quarters and Brought their Skills from Africa.You Might tell Your source of Info to stop reading outdated Racist Dictionaries.Creoles Are not anyone Who says He is.It's insulting & very Politically Incorrect.Creole is a Bonified Culture and is not an off spring of the French or the White Spanish People It's a combination of the three.Please Please Please pick Up a Book instead of listening to what other People tell You

[@augustinecomeaux]

How can You no longer be a Creole ... Did You ex communicate Us..You need to move on dopy

[@augustinecomeaux]

Creoles don't all reside in Louisiana..There are over 30 million Creoles world wide wake up Stupid

[@augustinecomeaux]

Mr Know it all.You seem to have all the answers for someone that has probably not gone more than a few blocks from Your house.You obviously haven't been paying attention to the Video.I've been around for 60 years and You sound quite hostile.You don't know where I've been nor do You seem to know what You're talking about.I also live the Creole life in New Orleans.What's with the Race issue? seem you have a problem with peoples complexion. frankly, who care what you think cause its all negative.

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez Just Why are You trying to discredit Creoles and Their Culture when You know absolutely nothing about their History.It is well Documented that the Original Creoles Were African a Word Borrowed by the White Europeans .I've been studying Our Peoples History for over 20 years& I know You don't have a clue as to Who or What is a Creole.The only thing coming from Your mouth is that Creoles Come in all colors but not in all Nationalities. We may be Mixed with them all but that's it

[@augustinecomeaux]

You sound like a Racist to Me..Your hatred is a sign of Your own insecurities...Stop hating and get a life.Sorry I don't fit Your mould

[@augustinecomeaux]

@IslenoGutierrez Creoles are White Black & Mixed Race.Go Wikipedia it.You've been reading these Racist orientated Dictionaries for Too long.It's time You thought for Yourself.It Is Well documented that the First Creoles were Mixed Race & Black .
