I'm surprised that Vincent Danzicourt (Philippe Ferronaire's brother-in-law) bothered to avenge Marie's rape since his sister was vexed abt Philippe's other family. Anne Bella's distress must have pricked his conscience, even though there isn't scene abt that. Guess I have to read the book for further insight.
I had no idea that Bianca Lawson (aka Maya in Pretty Little Liars) was in this show. Her role as Anna Bella is fanastic. Based on this show, she will definitely make a better mother than Cecile, who's mentally stuck in her delusions of 'grandeur'. Had Cecile been kinder to Lisette, this wicked incident with Marie would have been avoided.
This is why as a creole woman I take no pride in the european blood that I have. How can I and how is it something to be proud of?? I only recognize the african, indian, and spanish blood that I have seeing as though they never made it a point to make anyone feel less than human. I'm a person of principle and I simply can't honor this.
@ScottLoyed youre seriously showing your ass right note...it only seems like everything has to be"black this black that"..to you bc you are white and the only time you even have to think about your ethnicity is when someone brings up the fact they you are white and not other everyday instancesthey you will never understand how it seriously affects things as little as how people interact worth you...
The guy who plays Marcel OVERACTS. He hadn't matured as an actor yet. What is up with all the different accents? If they were from St Domingue, they would have at least had the same accents for chrissakes. It is like the freakin tower of babel on this movie set. Shame. Could have been done a lot better. Dommage. Comme on dit en France. lmao
@lunargoddess2002 its so true the dialogue is there but the accents are weird!!!! One minute hes speaking french then hes speaking afro american english
@BlazinTrinidad you've a big ass nose too kid, the boy you had as your pic before has a bigger nose than marcel and so does the girl who you have as your pic now, so why you be trippin big nose?
Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Aw dang right in between the eyes. And why would Annabella's consort risk his life to kill the guys who raped Marie? Annabella was smart not becoming like Marcel's mama saves her and the baby the pain.
@D22queen - Family honor, Marie was the daughter or Philippe, and Phillipe was his brother-in-law. Since her father was dead & couldn't defend her honor it was his duty. Marcel couldn't because it was forbidden for a black man to attack a white one.
To leave the attack un-avenged would have brought dis-homor to Bon Tempe
@ScottLoyed but how would anyone know that Marie was Phillipe's daughter it's not like he ever acknowledged it? I mean look what he did to Marcle his "son" when he came to his house.
@D22queen - You need to read the book or better understand the concept of plasage to know why. Philipe's relationship with Cecile and his children was well known in New Oleans. The brother-in-law had full knowledge of it as well. Even the wife on the plantation was aware.
There was a very strict code of conduct regarding the situation. Sort of like the "don't ask, don't tell' in today's military. When Marcelle went to Bon Tempe he crossed a line that was never to be crossed.
@D22queen - If you like what you're seeing here, read the book. It goes a bit more into detail. The system wasn't all bad. A great many women led privelidged lives that would have been out of their reach otherwise. Also, for the wealthy planters like Philippe, marriages were often arranged for business and family reasons, with little or no love involved. The quadroons who entered into the contracts were usually loved by the men who' supported them
@ScottLoyed IT WAS ALL BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the fact that they could only be treated LIKE SEMI-humans and have SOME of the same trinkets that white females had by WHORING & playing concubines to white men is EXACTLY THE PROBLEM! That a system was CREATED & MAINTAINED by racist white people to ensure that a non-white female could only be treated like a shell of a white woman by laying under a white man & VOLUNTEERING FOR RAPE! no 1 gives damn if wm & ww loved ea. other in their marriages!
@EbonyNewsChannel -To EbonyNewsChannel-@EbonyNewsChannel -LOL, You certainly are a tiresome thing aren't you ? You call me racist, yet you define yourself as a "Black" woman. Not a woman, or an American woman but a Black, African-American woman.
Until your people start blending into the mainstream society you are never going to get anywhere. Everything has to be Black this or black that. Whenever someone mentions or points that your you scream "Racist!" (IS Bill Cosby a racist?)
@ScottLoyed The only THING here is you.. LOOK AT ALL THE TELLING WHITE SUPREMACIST DRIVEL you addressed me with; "Its obvious you didn't benefit from the United NEGRO college fund". "You are a..THING", then all the variations of classifications WHITE SUPREMACISTS have attributed to non-white people, then the usual, "your people..blend in to mainstream ( racist/white supremacist) society) Yaaawn-- when white people keep talking the Racism will ALWAYS SHOW- that we can count on! SUSPECTED RACIST!
@ScottLoyed The Quadroons that entered into the "contracts" did so because their other choice was to starve or be whored out to various white men for rape! HARDLY A GOD DAMNED choice and as far as their JOHNS "loving them" - get out of her with that garbage!! How many militias of these white Johns created armies to end the system of Racism ( White Supremacy) so that these women could be treated like humans & their bastard offspring too? NO the CIVIL WAR WAS NOT for freeing the slaves.
You are just proving my point. You can't even post a comment without using profanity. Learn some capitalization and punctuation then get back to me when you've better educated yourself. Obviously you are not one who took advantage of the United Negro College fund.
@ScottLoyed again.. WHAT WAS YOUR POINT? hmmm? You Couldn't counter what I said with a LOGICAL response to the information, but instead you went with the straw man stupidity.. (sigh) GOD DAMNED is not profane as you seem to thin k it is in your IGNORANCE! There is NO DIETY NAMED "GOD" and damned means condemned- apparently YOU flunked elementary. "LEARN SOME CAPITALIZATION.." blah, blah and BLAH! This is not a term paper & you just gave me MORE reason than I already had to suspect that ..
So there's no diety named "God?" I'm sure you'll fine several milion who will disagree with you on that one.
Go ahead, post your racist drivel all you want. Address it to and at me if you like, but I find you tired, boring & unintelligent so I'll be ignoring you from here.
@ScottLoyed To those less IGNORANT than you are, there are plenty of deities AND NOT ONE OF THEM IS NAMED 'GOD".. Muslims know better, Jews don't have a deity NAMED "GOD" - Even the most ill informed "Christians" use "Jesus" when replacing the Holy One of the Ysraelites with a living creature as a substitute .. sighh.. more idiotic drivel. Your willingness to IGNORE information does indeed make you IGNORANT- bathe in it. I really don't care. The only Racist are WHITE SUPREMACISTS! :{
@ScottLoyed YOU ARE A RACIST ( WHITE SUPREMACIST)! I have been reading your lil' commentary on these videos, speaking as if this repugnant abuse of and mistreatment of non-white females was something that wasn't too bad and should be understood "because of the times" and all the usual white supremacist rhetoric.
I was already pretty sure..but then here you come with the United Negro College Fund stupidity! NO IDIOT, I PAID FOR MY OWN SCHOOLING- & it wasn't at a "NEGRO" COLLEGE. RACIST SUSPECT!
@ScottLoyed Equating that to love is like claiming that pedophiles love their victims because they housed them or bought them things. It is simply maintaining the victim for future use and pleasure by the rapist. Same way people feed and barn the animals that they make us of.
it was a situation of perpetrators and victims. not love- not in a system of non-justice and incorrectness.
@ScottLoyed Right, the plantations were out in the country and the whites pretended not to be aware of what happened in the city. But essentially as previously stated, this family were just glorified slaves per se, but everything was a business arrangement and any transactions went thru the local attorney/notary. He had all the relationships on file, their names where registered in the local parish/church when they were born.
I'm surprised that Vincent Danzicourt (Philippe Ferronaire's brother-in-law) bothered to avenge Marie's rape since his sister was vexed abt Philippe's other family.
