Incroyable Monsieur Thibodeaux !!!! Intelligence, ouverture d'esprit.... Je lui souhaite une immense audience parmi la communauté francophone partout dans le monde. J'espère qu'un jour on pourra le voir en France.

My mom is an immigrant from Bosnia. She was raised in Germany and met my dad when he was stationed in Germany and he brought her back. I grew up with Bosnian spoken in the house, my mom implemented German and I still speak a LOT of German and English. My dad's family was French speaking so they also poured that onto me (luckily) and I am now relearning French, its been years since my grandparents passed away in 2003 and what's surprising to me is that I remember so much of it and it has been a breeze. My dad's roots came to Louisiana directly from Quebec after many generations of being Quebecois... I'm not sure which route to define myself? I'm definitely Bosnian in culture, identity and speak it daily with my mom.
My family are French-Spanish on my daddys side, going back to Bienville and his Casset girls, Gabrielle Savry and Phillip Saucier down through Ramon Lizana my maiden name. I am a proud Creole.
Well the Loving case is what made it no longer illegal to intermarry in Virginia. So, not quite the same. Clearly that wasn't a thing y'all had to worry about.
@@LukeMornings What about the third category... Coonass?? sorry, couldnt resist.. If you truly read history of how the Creole immigrants were brought into Louisiana, without trying to make it a racist statement as it seems it becomes too often, you will see the difference pretty clearly.. it is NOT about skin color and not sure why that was a focal point. Creole influences came from some Acadians settling in the Caribbean at first and then coming to New Orleans later. Creole French was also spoken by slaves brought to North America from Haiti and the Lesser Antilles by plantation owners. The blending of the Creole and Acadians (Cajuns) was natural because the majority of Acadians/Cajuns were NOT slave owners, and were also picking cotton and farming. My ancestors, including my Mom and Dad, grew up in sharecropper homes, farming, picking cotton, etc... He is correct by saying that there was no skin color division back then, however, you need to go back to the migration of the different people from France, Acadie, Haiti, etc into Louisiana to see how truly blended the area is... lets stick to the facts on where everyone immigrated from and stop trying to re-write history and make it about skin color... I will always be Cajun and you can put dat in the bank podnah!!!
Bravo à Jourdan, j'espère le voir un jour au Québec!
Vive les cajuns, vive les acadiens, et surtout, vive le Québec LIBRE!
It is about time someone tells the truth. Thank you, brother!

Powerful and Straightforward! Bien Merci

I took 4 years of French in highschool I have forgotten the most of it I love the idea of the songs. Such a solid idea.
UA-cam is filled with free resources for learning. Good luck in your journey.

Damn that was great!

C’est drôle parce que j’ai des ancêtres Thibodaux 😂, donc nous sommes peut être vraiment cousins Jourdan 😅
Moi aussi! Pierre Thibodeau et Jeanne Theriot. Olivier, Jean, Charles, etc...
I thought Cajuns never put tomatoes in their gumbo but Creoles do, like you sometimes see tomatoes in gumbo in New Orleans which is a Creole culture.
It is so much more important that tomatoes! 🤩

My ancestors came from Acadie,does that mean we are Cajuns?
There is a cultural difference between Cajun and creole
Please explain it.
and there's a difference between the regular french louisiana and the cajuns

Is it because of the non creole blacks whose culture the creoles assimilated into
Only insofar as there is a difference between Americans and African-Americans. One is a category of the other.
Love the interview but wish there was some push back on some of his points. Allons!
Which points?
Ben sur!...that is definitely a thread through all of Acadie...the love of debate!
Lâche pas la patate 🥔
