One Love To Our First Black Republic. HAITI

This is valuable history that every mixed race child needs to see. Somewhere in the world we had a place in society as a Group & not a sore thumb sticking out. I wish I learned this as a child so I wouldn’t have felt so isolated growing up.

Hello there black and Cuba here my grandma told me that my great great aunt and my great great uncle was from cuba and they settled in Louisiana i am glad she told me god rest her soul

My 3rd Great Grandfather owned a cafitieria In St Domingue and transferred the deed to his Niece and nephew, then fled to New Orleans. From there he boarded a ship to Mayaguez PR.I got this from official documents, and not from family members.

Free black Indian same thing lotta Cap in this video All of a sudden we got free blacks when the story we were told was all blacks come from slavery There is a Barry Sanders spin move happening here and that is one hell of a spin move

Like seriously! Why do I detect a hint of pride about Creoles owning slaves on plantations while having the same privileges as a White society? As an individual with Creole ancestors, I find this part of history disturbing. No thought of how the enslaved Africans would feel being enslaved by mixed Black people. To walk around free in society while having slaves for acceptance, as if enslaved Africans' lives were unimportant, is disgusting. However, it's a problem when someone discusses Creoles, African Americans, or mixed African Americans that had slaves on plantations. We always focus on the White slave owners and merchants, as if they stole 12 million to 12.8 million Africans shipped across the Atlantic over 400 years. The history of the brown paper bag tests in clubs and other parts of society. Checking people at the door of clubs to see if they passed the brown paper bag test is an embarrassing part of Creole history. What about the dark skin Creoles born in the same families with light skin relatives who were not treated fairly? No one ever talks about this part of Creole history. No matter how mixed you are, the one-drop rule in the past should have opened many people's eyes regarding the hatred of African ancestry. So let's not forget about the part of history that should be addressed because people went to their graves hurting because of it. And don't come for me. I am the same person who believes colorism goes both ways. Also, I am tired of seeing Creoles and mixed-race people brag on social media that their ancestors owned slaves. It's nothing to be proud of.

Thank you for sharing the truth. USA would not be the USA it is today if it wasnt for the Haitian Revolution that forced France to sell the entire state of Louisiana to the US. After the Haitian revolution, 1/3 of Haitians immigrated to New Orleans and being more educated from the land they came from and they played a major part in what the culture of New Orleans is today. Most of the free blacks in New Orleans were Haitians who left Saint Domingue and some of them were actually wealthy. This is why in the battle for New Orleans, the first time Americans came to the land, they were confused as this was the first time they saw Elite blacks mixed with French white living and breathing together... then we all know what happened,..they had to F#$ it up..smh!!!

💯✔✔.

Rape not liaison

Nobody was born slave

Columbus hehe

There goes their slave theory, everyone who didn't own slaves were in reality a slave. People of color is a bullshit call, we all are of color, the African is the only people that changes their identity every commercial after these messages

Some of my grandparents came from St. Domingue to Louisiana.

How do devote one minute to the Haitian revolution and only speak about one person?

My family, the Martels, came from there. They mixed and married with different groups.

Please pass this information with the BLM MOVEMENT

Time to explore the Spanish roots of the cerole mix and many studied French, only to become more acceptable.

French expelled Acadians to Louisiana so they spoke French

I THOUGHT “CREOLES” is a culture not a race !

Tomorrow the June 19 come out celebrate our freedom!!

Actually i have no idea where this black slave story came from but the 13 colonies were ruled by das Noble Schwarze oligarchs (Blacks) and 90% of the slaves were Farm Peasants (Whites, Ploughers). The words Creoles, Blacks, Sorte, Multi-Racials, Mother, Aboriginies, and Indiens are all the same damn words in different Indo languages. Black and Creoles are the same damn words.

These were NOT African traditions, those people were the descendants of the Huguenots from Spain and France!!! Who were Refugees from the 1492 Catholic/Christians religious reformation. They were Black Jews & Moors ...Not Africans!!! Stop referring to all “black” people as Africans!!! Are all whites people of the same ethnic/tribal background? No!!

Creole is about culture and social status. It's about maintaining a certain social class and culture. Now, more social class than culture.

THE MIXTURE OF THE AFRO AND TAINO / ARRAWAK INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WAS BECAUSE OF THEIR SHARED IDEALS AND ARTS DANCE MUSIC AND CREATIONS BENIN IS THE BEST IN CRAFT WORK OF ALL KINDS

IT WAS ALL GOOD UNTIL THE ENGLISH CHANGED IT.

The Creole and Cajun languages are some of the most less known outside of Louisiana And Mississippi as well as East Texas and parts of Alabama and places outside The USA like Haiti, Jamaica, Bahamas, And Dominica

I am a descendant of Free People of Color. With the help of DNA, court documentation and hours of research, I have researched my family ancestry in order from: East Africa (L3e1e haplogroup) Gabon (Mozingo family) Island of Haiti (1500) Grand Coteau, Louisiana (1600)? Jamestown, Virginia (1600) Joseph Mingo - ancestor (1640) Charles County, Mayland (1702) Madison County, Kentucky (1790) Southern, Ohio (1800)

This is too crazy... I'm a descendant of mainly Free People of Color from VA, MD, KY & OH. I'm sure their were a few slaves in there but mainly free and or Indentured Servants which IMO are slaves. We can trace family connections back to the 1600s. I also believe my family to be from East Africa. My mother haplogroup is L3e1e (East Africa) her brother's DNA reviled 1% Ethiopian and 1% Middle Eastern and another brother showed 1% Native American. My father's haplogroup is E-m4254 (East Africa) and his great grandfather wrote on his 1917 Draft Card "Ethiopian" as his race. Nonetheless, I'm somewhat confused because, I recently discovered somehow, I have roots to early Haiti before 1800? While during my ancestry research, I also noticed, I have a fairly decent connection to Grand Coteau, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana... by way of Port Tobacco, Charles County Mayland or vice versa? We do know my earliest known ancestor was a mixed Indigenous Indian and African male from Virginia. As a child he was captured during the Anglo-Indian War in 1600s and taken to Port Tobacco to be a Indentured servant for Governor William Stone. Eventually he married a white Indentured servant Welsh woman whom they had children. Those children had children with the master Stone bloodline. So because of my mixed race background it's very hard for me to figure out who's who. Today my family on average is 60% African and 40% European with Native American. So, I'm asking you for your help... does anyone else have this type of ancestral connection?

America hates to acknowledge the status of the creole. It is encouraging to see a black man acknowledge that there was this other tier of society that racists, black and white have tried to diminish in America since Jim Crow laws. It is not reasonable to say that a rich Creole would have the same social standing as a field slave because of some African heritage. It makes being African a lesser status for no more reason than genetics which is the essence of racism.

I notice this topic is only covered by either black or white people. Talk about cultural appropriation and not understanding anything about it.

I’m so happy I’m not a mixed person. Mixed people seem so confused. I know where my people came from in Africa too.

I was born in Haiti and dislike the term they used in the documentary to describe the rape of black women from my country. It wasn't a liaison , it was rape pure and simple

This is fascinating to me because I want to learn more about my background because my dad is Afro Haitian and my mom who is also Afro Haitian has Dominican, Louisiana Creole[ African, French, English ] and Native American.

My ancestors came from St. Domingue and migrated to Louisiana. Judge A.B. Martel, a well known judge in LA History is my great-great-great grandfather. He married a white woman and then later my grandmother, a creole woman.

The village stone BLooDs Los Angeles CREOLES of color / Native-french Ckreoles MaIfa! B5RN MafIa VILLage St5ne BLIvD GANG!

Very cool culture.

My great great great grandmother was creole Indian the story goes she had hair so long she sat on it she had 21 kids a lot of her children ran away to get away from slavery ran up north I've never met these people a day in my life but it started in new Orleans

You use the word "Black" too loosely. The "Creoles-of-Color" were primarily light-skinned, "mixed-race" mulattos.

This was all new info to me.

Interesting

Brass ankle definition is - one of a group of people of mixed white, Indian, and African ancestry in South Carolina.

And yes news flash HAITIAN AND DOMINICANS LIVED TOGETHER AND PROSPERED FOR 20 STRONG YRS

THE FRENCH MADE THE HATIANS PAY BACK ALL THE MONEY THE FRENCH LOST IN LOSING THE GREAT WAR( HATIAN/ DOMINICAN INDEPENDENCE) THIS IS WHY HAITI IS STILL POOR THEYVE BEEN PAYING THAT MONEY BACK FOR OVER 100YRS FINALLY PAID OFF IN 1922. BUT NO ONE ( WHITE WORLD POWERS ) REFUSED TO DO BUSINESS WITH 🇭🇹. VIVE ST DOMINGUE

LET US NOT FORGET THE FRENCH HAD DONE PLENTY OF ATROCITIES IN THE COLONIES AS WELL AS IN MAINLAND AFRICA . IN NEW ORLEANS WHITES MADE SURE EVEN CREOLES KNEW THEIR TRUE PLACES

Haiti the only people in world history to free themselves from slavery... MENTION THAT SHIT
