In New Orleans there are two types of Creoles. The Creoles of color who are black with colonial French and Spanish and white with colonial French and Spanish descent. At least that is how I have always thought, being from New Orleans.

@Upcamehill Sounds right to Me, however , Many of the two groups willingly mixed while many did not..At one time there was a three tiered society before the Civil War...In fact many Creoles of Color inherited their wealth from their White Parent and Many earned their wealth from hard work...Not All Creoles were held in Bondage..Many Creoles of Color never experienced Slavery, especially in New Orleans

I think people are confusing being biracial (black and white) with being a Creole. Obama is not Creole, he is mulatto/biracial . Same goes for Vanessa Williams.

[augustinecomeaux]

@AlexPelzerFan nobody said that Obama was Creole...We all know He is Multi Racial..He's on there because at the time this video was cut He was elected President.. Also Venessa williams is on there because she Represents Our Mulatto Heritage even though She is not Creole..Many Creoles are also regarded as Mulattoes Our Heritage is Creole which is Our Culture Our Racial connotation is Mulatto..Anything else You can find fault with ??

For one thing obama is biracial but vanessa williams is from trinandad and tobago. which was taken over by the french and the spanish before the british around the 1800's took it over from franc`e and there are people there that speak creole and spanish and french and poper english-England . they also speak another language called lanc patu`a creole to be specific. I know this to be true because half of my family is from trini and the other half american .

@NYhistorian Correct, she is multiracial, not biracial. Her DNA test revealed she has Welsh and Native American ancestry. Even the a caveman can see that she has features not African in origin. watch?v=sxB7Sc4rwNs.

@AlexPelzerFan Vanessa is not biracial. Both parents are black. There are light skinned black people.
