E-mail: janellemanuel@gmail.com 		I love this website! I have always been proud to say I am French Creole. People often say Creole is a culture and not a race...I guess until it is decided otherwise , I will continue to check all the boxes that apply to me or just OTHER

E-mail: ljoo@yahoo.com 		Looking over the site, I find this emphasis on being mixed bizarre, considering that the earliest creoles were pure European and pure African and that pretty much all of us have mixed over the past 400 years. The concept of mulatto is somewhat more American than Louisianan, because here even predominantly African individuals were not necessarily 'negro'; there were categories for different degrees of admixture. Though we are mixed, Creole has always been about culture, not color, hair texture, or degree of admixture. It is about having deep roots in pre-American Louisiana - Creole identity is what distinguished those born in Louisiana from Americans of every shade. We are Creole, not mulatto - mulattos are a people whose entire 'separate' identity is based on being mixed or part white, but whose culture is Anglo-Saxon, no different from any other Americans white and black alike. I agree, though, that we, like the Cajuns, the Gullah too, represent a distinct culture in American society and should be recognized as such.

Admin reply: About your comments... regarding Mulattos vs Creoles...True, Creole culture is Quite Different than the culture of Our Mulatto cousins, However the Racial Mix is very similar and for 200 years up until the 1920s we were All identified as Mulattos...The Word Creoles has always been used to denote people of African descent ,that were first born in the New World Colonies.Our Cultural background is a mix of Latin/ French where as Our Mulatto Cousins have more of a Anglo/European cultural background... Haitians are Black and they are Creoles.East Indian People are not White nor are they European ,but, they are part of the Arayan Race (White)..There is no doubt that We all share a Common African Heritage..Since the beginning of Mankind there has been Race mixing way before there was a Louisiana..To think Creoles started inter- mixing only in the Americas' is quite far fetched...so, yes We are Related...The Culture is the only thing that holds us apart.. Again being Creole is having a common Culture and thats where the difference starts

E-mail: triduece65@yahoo.com 		I love this site. My Grandparents had to leave Louisiana in the 1920,s and my grandfather could never return to the land he loved. This gives me so much culture and memories of them. They moved to Chicago and them settled in southwest Michigan. The pictures look so much like my relatives. And I so miss hearing the elders speak the Creole language.
