Wait what? They're going to start deporting the Cajuns from Louisiana? WTF!?


P.S. The only difference between Creoles and Cajuns is their skin color.

I guess we'll see if it's true or not....

Cajuns are Creole, but Creole are not necessarily Cajun.

Adding this in here:

Seeking Creole speaking guard contractor for migrant detention facility in checks notes Gitmo.

Story goes on to say it’s not migrants caught in Texas, so it would be nabbing people at sea totally not like a band of pirates.

Cajuns are Creole, but Creole are not necessarily Cajun.

Not by today's definition.

South Louisiana’s reputation as Cajun Country may seem as natural and inevitable as Spanish moss on a live oak tree, but it's actually a fairly recent phenomenon, the latest twist in a long story about Creole identity and United States race relations. When photographers Douglas Baz and Charles H. Traub spent six months in South Louisiana in the mid-1970s, creating the work now on view in THNOC’s new exhibition Cajun Document, the region was only just beginning to be known as Cajun Country. For two centuries, “Creole” had been the dominant term used to describe the region’s people and culture; Cajuns existed, but prior to the 1960s they did not self-identify as such in large numbers. For Cajuns were—and are—a subset of Louisiana Creoles. Today, common understanding holds that Cajuns are white and Creoles are Black or mixed race; Creoles are from New Orleans, while Cajuns populate the rural parts of South Louisiana. In fact, the two cultures are far more related—historically, geographically, and genealogically—than most people realize.

What’s the Difference Between Cajun and Creole—Or Is There One?

The answers are tied up in race, class, language, and, of course, history.

They're all Acadians, enslaved West Africans, Houma, Chitimacha, Choctaw, German immigrants, Canadian trappers, French and Spanish settler descendants.

Keep in mind I was growing up there in the middle of all that happening. I graduated high school at Menard in 77.

I don't see how the "common understanding" disagrees with my statement (notably a simplification).

The Chitimachas, Houmas and Choctaws disagree.

ETA: Also the latecomers, the Tunica and Biloxi.

In this context, I think it's rather more relevant that they're looking for someone speaking the official language of Haiti (and also the second most widely-spoken language in Cuba, come to that) to work at a migrant detention centre on Guantanamo Bay than what people in Florida or Louisiana speak or are called.

This dude's fans are outraged he was dumped from the National Council on the Arts. Well, that's always outraged about something anyway.

Biden pisses me off with crap like this. Who the hell is he protecting, and why? What kind of identifiable harm can come from a video that's almost 60 years old now? The original celluloid is probably rotted by now. I bet the identifiable harm is that the Illuminati takes the president aside their first day in office, and show them the assassination from a different angle, just like Bill Hicks described.

White House delays release of JFK assassination files "to protect against identifiable harm"

President Biden said the delay was "necessary" and "outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure."

He makes an interesting point.

Also, I don't think many here are thinking Biden's presidency ended after the VA results came in. It'll end when JFK Jr. shows up on Thanksgiving Day with free turkeys for all!

EDIT: MOAR...

So its finally infrastructure week!

And Maureen Dowd, as usual, hasn't a clue.
My parents used to get the New York Times. I enjoyed the Sunday magazine section, particularly the puzzles, but I never could bring myself to pay for the drivel they publish to get it, and it's only gotten worse.
