What did I say to you before, mi panita? Are you in Cuba or Miami? I said that most Cubans in Miami were white, but that only 20% of people in Cuba were white.

¿Entiendes?

Yes, I know you said that, but the facts proved otherwise. In other words, you were wrong.

OK........I know both her and O'Brien.

In Malveaux (who has an identical twin sister), all of those categories overlap.

Creoles are black/Latin/French people from Louisiana. Their ancestors, in most cases, are a combination of Afro-Caribbean (chiefly from Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic), African American in some cases, French and Spanish. There are also many, especially in rural Louisiana, who are almost as purely African as Haitians, and the language they speak is mutually intelligible with Haitian Creole.

Outside of Louisiana, Creoles are simply considered African American. In Latin America, they are mulatto. So, yes, these "other African Americans," as they have been described, are a very interesting black subculture here in the USA.

Yeah, that's some of that twisted b.s. you also hear from Jenna Jameson........

"It's OK for me to be a disgusting slutty pincushion who will do unspeakably degrading things at the drop of a hat for money, but I'll be damned if I do it with a black man."

Sorry. I'm not wrong. Ask some of your "white" Cuban friends why you've never met their grandparents or even seen pictures. Then ask yourself why so many Cubans have three-story houses...........

Yes, I suppose they would overlap since Creoles are mixed to begin with. She looks French to be honest with you.

She defines the word 'melting pot'. Some say that the days of the melting pot are over, and the days of 'fruit salad' are here.

I have met their grandparents. They usually live with them or across the street. I don't think I know anyone with a three story house though.

Quadroon, octoroon? I'm sure that's probably what's going on there.

Or Hexadecaroon. But in America those terms are meaningless, because almost all African Americans have some white in them. Technically you can't be quadroon unless you are quarter pure sub-saharan African, which US blacks are not.

And not one "kiss" between them. Understandable for that time period. But today?? Not acceptable.
