This video was filled with flaws. A lot of these people did not have french creole roots in Louisiana(Joan Bennet, Alexandre Dumas, etc). Furthermore, the video was very narrow being that it only focused on accomplished white & very fair mulatto creoles and ignored everyone in between.

@perfectochico It appears Your response is filled with flaws.Joan Bennett is the Great Grand Daughter of Morris W Morris a member of the Louisiana Native Guard & a Mixed Race Creole. Alexandre Dumas also has strong Louisiana Roots as His Ancestors Were Haitian Creoles who migrated to France. I put on My videos whats out there & it's not about skin Color. I suggest You do a bit More in depth Reading on Your Creole History. I didn't make this Video for You to Criticize it but to enjoy it

you can be black and creole, creole has no specific race

jean baptist pointe du sable was born in haiti his father in france so he isnt a louisiana creole neither is alexandre petion because he is haitian too and so is alexandre dumas he is of haitian descent as well so who ever made this needs to get their facts straight

History is wonderful!!!!!

Thank you for listening, I hope we can talk about it again. That way we work together to enlighten people about the culture of both of our people.

@augustinecomeaux You don't have to say that Creoles are mixed race only, but by showing nothing but mixed race people all the time whenever Creole is referred to will make force it so on people ignorant to what a Creole is. If you type in "definition of Creole" it points to Whites of the New World. That is why it is slowly evolving in New Orleans to be anyone or anything Native to New Orleans. That includes all of us. That way, no one will be exclusive to Creole. It is happening as we speak.

@augustinecomeaux I also trace mine to Monsieur Pierre Dupre' of Royal St. in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I will not our identity be stolen. French Creole is our identity. Creole of Color is yours. I respect yours and acknowledge yours, please do the same for mine. The French Creole society of New Orleans have been putting together pamphlets to send to people in the New Orleans metro area to alert them of their Creole heritage, so it will not be lost or as you said "forgotten".
