Video: Beyonce speaking Haitian Creole, Sak Pase?
I have her ON video saying "Sak Pase, Nap Boule"
That's Haitian Creole...
Take a look.
Many times on the Internet people are asking is Beyonce Haitian?
Well... in the video she admits to being "Creole" but what exactly is being Creole?
(video not available)
Like I said on the video, being Haitian is a bloodline, it's like being Italian or Irish, it's a heritage, claim it...
But the dispute over who is of Haitian decent in the United States, and who is not, it goes far beyond the walls of the Bayou... It's much bigger than that... As a matter of fact it expands from the swamps of Louisiana all the way into Canada.
Let me explain.
Most Americans, when they say "Creole", they are referring to the Louisiana Creole culture, The Big Easy, the Cajun cuisine, and not Haitian culture, but they seem to forget that Napoleon Bonaparte sold the Louisiana territory to the United States right after the Haitian war of independence.
Had it not been for Haiti, had it not been for OUR Haitian heroes, nearly one third of what is today the United States of America would be speaking French.
Let me tell you, for the record what Haiti represents to the United States:
There are 14 current U.S. states and two Canadian Provinces that owe a BIG FAT thank you to Haiti because they are part of the Louisiana purchase.

Question:
How did I go from Beyonce to this history lesson?
I don't know...
I guess that's how my brain operates!
My name is Woodring Saint Preux and I said it.
