@Justinthe Comments because that's what they try to make the darker Creoles believe and it's just like the slave master mentality. My Mother is high yellow creole, her Mother, her Grandfather half white and I'm dark and beautiful, but I'm definitely creole, my daddy is just dark skinned. So who do you believe?

I know!!!!!! Love that ! We come in many different colors

I come from a big Louisiana creole family of Vacharie La. I was raised in New Orleans. Great grandparents didn’t pass on the creole language to my mother generation because back then it wasn’t “cool” to be mixed race. They wanted my mama generation to blend in with the monoracial black kids at school. But imma learn it because that’s my heritage and teach my kids. I can’t believe Louisiana creole language is dying.

We are inclined to automatically associate Louisianian Creole with mixed race people, but many if not most were of predominantly African ancestry, just like the other Creoles who populate Antilles. In Louisiana, it seems that the less mixed populations were largely omitted from many of the records, and this may be the source of this misconception. No disrespect, but Creole is not a racial category, it is ethno-linguistic. Whether mixed or less mixed, Creoles are Creoles. I'm not of your people, but I am Haitian and I can tell you that emphasising mixed vs mostly African ancestry has done a lot of damage to our people and our culture. In terms of our customs, and this is something that our people both share, there is a very profound "Africanity" that underpins them even though the surface appears to be European in origin. This is very much the situation in many Latin American countries/nations to this day. Tout moun Kreyòl gen dwa rete Kreyòl. M'espere ke ou pral sere lyen ac kilti zansèt paw' ankò epi ke ou ka finalman kenbe lang paw' tou.

I'm from the Caribbean. My father, maternal grandmother and my mother in law all know/knew Creole. However it is the patois which originated from Martinique. But there are some similar words found in the Louisianan creole. They never taught their children because the language was seen as a backward one which belonged to uneducated people.

I think it's so weird when people think if you're Creole your light skin and I was like no Creole is a culture My family is Creole half black french ancestors Yes a lot of us are of a lighter complexion but some of us are brown, and only my family who still lives in Louisiana still speaks Creole all the ones that came to Texas don't speak that way anymore. And that's just my daddy's side most of my family are ledet, LeBlanc, babineaux and thibodaux. I kind of wish my ancestors fled to Canada I wouldn't have mind on being born in Canada. But no they spread across Texas and Louisiana Mexico and Puerto Rico, My bloodline on my mama's side only exists because of Choctaw man (My great great grandpa) decided he was going to 🍇 a black woman in rural Texas 😅 horrible but I wouldn't exist if it didn't happen.

I believe Creole is a language and is just as 'pure' as Cajun, European and Canadian French. I don't see it as a lesser form of French.

Cajun is a dialect of French. Kouri Vini is a distinct language (not a dialect), but with French vocabulary as its primary lexifier. This fact has only been appreciated fairly recently; however, it's interesting to hear how this language was classified in the past as opposed to what we know now.
