Best thing about being Creole is that we don't go through a new identity phase and terminology like....another ethnicity. The masses still have a hard time understanding what it is and most rarely hear about us, which can be a good thing that keeps us sacred and protected, and not "fetishized"....again, like 'another identity.' And even as a proud Creole, I am also proud to be apart of the black' race.

@@lovelove-pr2yo Now THAT is a damn lie! She has most certainly been attacked for it. She has an unreleased song called "Creole," and that song was so heavily criticized and attacked by the blk community that it never got popular, was never officially released, and wasn't given a fighting chance.. Look up the song on youtube right now, and go to the comment sections. Sooooo many blk people hating the song, and attacking it in the comments. I'll give you another example. When She released her Lemonade album, and specifically the song "Formation," blk people once again criticized and attacked her for mentioning the words "yellow bone" and "Creole." There are even think pieces and articles that have been written with the sole purpose of attacking her for mentioning her Creole heritage in the song, and for some of the imagery in the actual video. Like the other comment pointed out, this is why she is so super pro blk now. She can't mention her Creole heritage without being attacked, so she has to go above and beyond to pander to these wokesters so they won't attack her. Just because YOU never paid attention, doesn't mean it never happened.

"Creole" comes from Portuguese "crioulo" and the term was used to describe the New World born descendants of slaves. When you read lists of slaves of the time those who were born in the Americas, either if it was in Brazil, Cuba, USA or elsewhere were described as "creoles" while enslaved people brought from Africa were usually described by their ethnicity or origin like "Angola", "Congo", "Loango", "Ibo", "Fon" or something else.

They are triracial and not just black. There's a difference between creoles and african americans. African Americans part of the Transatlantic slave trade as a result of British, are dissimilar to creoles of Louisiana, in regards to culture, language, and triracial backgrounds. Creoles of Louisiana are descendants of Haitians, french, Spanish and native american. African Americans are mixed with British, Irish to a small degree, the ones part of the colonies, so to speak. Creoles have a large percentage of European ancestry compared to African Americans. Also, worth mentioning, is that some creoles have little or no African ancestry. Some are french and Spanish only, and others are french or Spanish with Native American ancestry, but no African. To lump creoles and African Americans in the same category, is blatantly false.
