E-mail: Whtgirlbeauty2@aol.com 		I like your site but why call it FrenchCreoles.Com if you simply use the Louisiana white coloniers words for the Creole community and call Creoles "Free Blacks." I am a white Louisiana native with some Creole ancestry. I just think that whites and even some blacks have an agenda to make every non-white person into an African. Many of your articles also over plays the slave issue in the Creole community. People will start to get more educated on slave history and realize that many people of color weren't slaves or were not even the children of slaves. People of color also even owned slaves. Creoles never used the term "blac" to described tehmselves but "person of color" was used in La. and slaves didnt even call themselves "blacks" but used the term African but I like your site-I just can't direct anyone to it for reseacrh being that it has too many ref. from authors who have a habit of mixing up Creole with African or "free black"

Admin reply: hello Diane...

You are so right...Yes, not all Creoles of Color are decendents of Slaves nor do all call themselves Black...However, not all of the information you read comes from Our staff...We quite frequently provide portions of articles written by others so individuals can make their own decisions and it would be unethical to alter or change the works of others...If you browse through the site you will find many articles that reference Creoles of Color as Free people and also as slave owners...As a New Orleans Creole I am very well aware of the history and Culture of Our Creole People but on the other hand although Creoles did Originate from Louisiana there are many more that have different backgrounds and were offsprings of Creole slaves...We simply give a unbiased and broader view of the subject matter...

Thanks for logging on...Augustine/Comeaux

E-mail: andrajenee@aol.com 		I like the site...although it says that some of these people are Creole when they're NOT.

Some of them may be "mixed race," but they are NOT "Creole."

It seems as if the people who put the info. on this site just made a list of all the SUCCESSFUL black people that they could think of (esp. the light skinned ones) and placed them in the "Creole" category.

There are a lot of light skinned black people in places like East Feliciana, and trust me...there's nothing "French" about them.

That's where my grandma's family is from.

I don't necessarily agree with some of the other "facts" mentioned on here either.

Thanks.

Admin reply: It was very nice to hear from You and We really do appreciate Your comments, However,as You might know , not everything or every one on his website are Creoles..and your'e absolutely right not all Creoles are light skinned...and it is a bit skewed, however it is the only information that is available on Creole People , so We put what We can find on Our Web site...

We always get complaints from both the Light skinned and dark skinned People...As You may know , Creole is a Culture and not a Racial thing...However, We Creole , just like anyone else seem to gravitate towards one another ...Creoles and Mulatto's basically have the same Racial Mix and aside from our cultural differences We are basically the same...

You may say it is Unfair but We tend to gravitate towards the Creoles We are accustumed with...There are volumns and volumns of information on Black America but very little on Mixed race people, so We present the information so that the World can know that We are here too and that We too helped build America...Again thanks for logging in...

E-mail: rod@gsisolutions.net 		We are in the process of opening a "Creole" restaurant in Foley, AL. Your website has been an inspiration. We believe this area (Mobile & Baldwin County, AL) is a cradle of Creole culture and heritage in the South. We would love to include some of the items on your website in our restaurant. Where do we seek permission?

E-mail: paigediva@excite.com 		All Black Americans are mulattos. Its very rare to find an "unmixed" Negro in this country. However, there are pure African descendents who live along the eastern seaboard, such as Gullahs and Geechies. Am I as equally proud of my White heritage as African? No way.

French Creoles are no better than other Blacks in America. Your ancestors were fucked by the French, mine by British. Please quell the Willie Lynch mentality your website promotes.

Admin reply: Hello
It seems that you are totally ignorant of this world around You..Your use of profanity is indicative of Your Ignorance and disrespectful background...It appears that You aparently have one Hell of a Racist Mentality...No, Not all Africans are Mulattos, Boy what a mental gap...and not all Americans are not the same...It appears that White society has Brain Washed You....Your first step is that you need to pick up a book and read about your own past and then Your intelectual comments will be welcome...
