Also, as I am a born Cruzian, I can honestly say a Cruzian accent is different from a Thomian accent. Not too different, but different. Also, growing up in a mostly Lucian household, we also speak creole (or we just call it patois). @ItzStillaMyth is right about everyone who speaks creole is not Haitian or from Haiti.

@afroboy18 I hear it all the time too and I've only been here for like a year!! At some point I just started asking, "So what am I then? White?" People here just think black is used to describe African Americans.

I'm African-American/creole. I speak Spanish. My husband is from La Plaine, Dominica. When he was 14, he moved to St. Thomas, V.I. before he came to Houston at 26. So his accent is a mix of two islands, but he sounds more thomian. People gotta be schupid to think that all west indians are from Jamaica. We've been married 3 yrs and I understand everything he says. My fam and friends need a translator though. I find myself naturally speaking like him. 340 reppin'! Yuh dun kno.
