Beyoncé reveals she is 'descended from a slaveowner' and MORE!

[Hulu]

Married? She's probably embellishing. It was pretty unusual. Slave owners usually knocked up many of their female slaves.

Bitch, shes Lousiana Creole. Lousiana was like Latin America. Frenchmen used to marry their slaves.

Prove it

Free people of color played an important role in the history of New Orleans and the southern area of La Louisiane, both when the area was controlled by the French and Spanish, and after acquisition by the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase. They were also important in forming an educated class of people of color in French colonies of the Caribbean islands.

When French settlers and traders first arrived in these colonies, the men frequently took Native American women as their concubines or common-law wives (see Marriage 'à la façon du pays'). When African slaves were imported to the colony, the colonists took African women as concubines or wives. In the period of French and Spanish rule, men tended to marry later after becoming financially established. As the German Coast colony grew and more white women arrived from France and Germany, some French men or ethnic French Creoles still took mixed-race women as mistresses, known as placées, before they officially married. The free people of color developed formal arrangements for placées, which the young women's mothers negotiated. Under the system of plaçage, often the mothers negotiated a kind of dowry or property transfer to their daughters, including freedom for them and their children, and education for the children. The French Creole men often paid for education of their "natural" (illegitimate) mixed-race children from these relationships, especially if they were sons, generally sending them to France to be educated.

How is this a shock? Her mother is mostly non-black.

That's the story of many African Americans, and it makes sense. Many Blacks say they have Native American blood because they don't want to admit that they're part White.

Cool that u ignored this part;

Interracial marriage was not forbidden in Lousiana colonial. You speak as if you knew every case.

Beyoncé does have recent white ancestry on her moms side


"Beyoncé’s maternal grandfather was Lumis Albert Beyincé (the son of Alexandre Beyincé and Marie Amelie Oliver Broussard). Lumis was born in Abbeville, Louisiana. Alexandre was the son of Jean Boyancé/Beyincé, who was born in France, and of Angéline Élizabeth Green. Marie Amelie was the daughter of Olivier Despanet Broussard and Alphonsine Boutte."


And she had talked about her French ancestry in the past. Shes just talking about the STORY she found out recently, being part white wasnt a shock to her.

common-law wives are some sort of concubines. They had them because they married at a later age with their European wives (as per your text), so this was filling the gap meanwhile
