Salma Hayek's New Orleans Creole Roots
I always wondered if the rumors are true that she is descended from Black Louisiana Creoles who moved to a certain part of Mexico back in the 1800s...she attended a Catholic school in Louisiana before moving back to Mexico...
May 19, 2007
Selma Hayek-the Hidden La. Creole. by T.D.
LETS KEEP IT REAL SELMA! COME OUT THAT CREOLE-ARAB CLOSET!
(There's alot of secrets in Hollywood about celebrities regarding sexuality, backgrounds and ethnic classification but Selma has gone over board with her "trash talking" on who is and who isn't authentic Latino. She makes a point of saying Jennifer Lopez isn't real latina due to her not having a latina accent or dialect. So being that her family is from the New Orleans Mixed-race Creole Community-lets put her in check!)
I find it amusing at how foolish some Hispanic/latino bloggers are. There is this trend to down Jennfier Lopez (J-lo) as not being a REAL latina but what latinos/hispanics do not realize is that Carribean-Latinos were the very first hispanics. Most of them have a degree mixed blood rate (hispanic) of euro-Spanish ancestry at about 70% while most Mexicans have less than 5% of Euro-Spanish ancestry. Selma Hayek was a marketing ploy by Hollywood for latinos. She is in reality-an ARAB! Just like Shakira-sure they speak Spanish but Janet Jackson speaking English doesnt make her British now does it? Shakira is also Middle Eastern but was born in Latin America. Latin America has some of the largest Middle Eastern population in the Western part of the globe and from these population appears to be the entertainers-who look, move and act Arab but get sold to unsuspecting Latino masses as authentic latinas.
Selam Hayek (not even a real latina surname)-was born on Sept. 2 1966 to a Lebanese father and a mother who wasnt Mexican but a Louisiana Mualatto (Blk,White Indian) Creole-and this explains why Selma Hayek was educated in New Orleans, La and not Mexico.
The part of Mexico where Selma Hayek was born- was settled by people from La. who were part African American-after the Civil War in America left people with any black ancestry to face Jim Crow. The President of Mexico-gave the mixed-black folks passage into Selma's part of Mexico. There they mingled with the Europeans and Natives. Coatzacoalcos part of Mexico was a melting pot of people who were of black-Euro and Hispanic backgrounds. This produced Selma.Benito Juarez (1806-1872)-was taken in by New Orleans Creoles-when the Euro-colonizers of Mexico had a price on the Mexican Indian's head for being a radical and militant. He was hidden in the French Quarter (at the time populated by mixed race Creoles)-and then he became President of Mexico. He won the French battle of Cinco De Mayo-due to Creole men teaching him how to defeat the French army and let mixed race Creole settle many Mexican areas.
Selma mostly takes after the women on her Arab side of the family. She takes after her Arab father more than her mixed-race Creole mother. Her father was an Arab business man but nothing is said too much about her mixed-race Creole mother. After birth, Selma didn't even set foot back in Mexico until she was an adult. She wasn't raised in Mexico. She was raised in New Orleans with her Arab father and Louisiana Creole mother. Her mixed-race Creole mother was a singer who had a hard time keeping Selma in school. She was even kicked out of Catholic school in New Orleans. Just like Jennifer Lopez was raised in New York-Selma Hayek was raised in Louisiana. This is kept secret or lied about by her PR people.
Selma only lived in Mexico a short period of time-she attended Mexico's city Universidad Iberoamericano(more for international foreign students of non-Mexican heritage) and then ran her butt right back to the U.S. Then she hit Hollywood at 24 years of age. How is she a Mexican? She happened to be born there but not to authentic Mexican parents and she sure didn't carry the culture or heritage of Mexicans. You will NEVER catch Selma at any pro-latino event unless she is winning an award or getting honored. Jennifer Lopez stays giving money to Latino charities but yet she is the one slammed by the so called Latino media. Lets be honest about what Mexican women look like-they dont look like Selma Hayek. Look at Selma ass! That's proof enough right there. I mean you can iron your clothes on a REAL Mexican woman's flat ass. Not Selma's Ass!  Her upper half is Arab and her lower half is Mulatto-Louisiana Creole.
Eva Longoria-well, lets just say that there's lots of marketing and spin about her background also. I wouldn't bet too much of money on tracing Eva Longoria's family back to Mexico either.
In "real" life and not "reel" life-Selma has a very, very low view of Mexican-Indians(about 90% of all Mexicans). According to an ex-Hollywood boyfriend-Selma thinks that they are dumb Indians who just speak Spanish. She really doesn't even like Mexico or Mexicans. She has gone on the record as never, even touching a Mexican man unless it was called for by her media marketing people.
Selma Hayek is part black Creole and her father is Arab from Lebanon and according to old law-a child is what their father is by birth. Shakira also doesn't consider herself a Latina in PRIVATE. She loves her Middle Eastern culture. Shakira belly-dances and does the entire Arab thing and Latinas know good and well that they can't bellydance! Selma Hyek has always wanted to maintain a distance from Mexico-except when it comes time to promote her films. She sold her home there and only dates Anglo men. She is the [use your imagination] of Babylon. Atleast Jennifer Lopez has a latino husband. Selma Hayek has pandered to the latino media by downing J-lo for not having an accent when her own is "made up." The same Louisiana French Creole-Italian accent that most natives of lower La. speak with is the exact same accent that Selma speaks with. Her supposedly "Latina" accent is created by a Hollywood vocal coach. In fact, the black nuns of New Orleans would refer to her as the "bad ass mullato girl" being that she cut up so much in school.
 Comic-Kathy Griffin (My Life on the D List, Suddenly Susan)-says that Selma has the fakest speaking voice that she has ever heard. When interviewing Selma on a red carpet event in Hollywood-Selma Hayek answered every question with the same "Your Crrrrraaaazzzzyyyyy" Trying to roll her "r's" like in Spanish, throws one arm up in the air like she is Bull-fighting and she always sucks in her cheeks. Selma is such a fake! This isn't how a REAL latina acts but how someone TRYING to act like what they think a real Latina acts and looks like to the public. She wouldn't want to keep picking fights with Jennifer Lopez about authentic latino speaking voices, when Selma knows good and well thats she sounds like a lower Louisiana native with a hint of Arab tongue. Selma knows that she was raised on Creole gumbo and Middle Eastern Humus-and not tacos. It is laughable at how dumb the public really is and Mexicans just take the cake with their ignorance. They swear this woman is Mexican and pro-Mexico.
Britney Spears, very talented but also VERY Louisiana backwoods G-H-E-T-T-O -reportedly eyed Selma Hayeck up and down while smacking gum and said, "Girl ya kno you aint nothin but Louiziana Creole." We all know that Louisiana natives know their own besides the Catholic church files has her mother's family documented as New Orleans mixed-race Creole.
Shakira and Selma Hayek are Frankensteins creatred by slick marketing people.

People care about the wrong shit. They should worry about their own lineage. And he spelled her name wrong throughout the article.

Black women do know how to treat a man which is to cook, clean and play the role of the woman YOU GUYS. There's a different between being the woman of the HOME (married) and most involved black women I know do that, you guys are just mad because most black women aren't submissive to taking any b.s. We'll do the womanly deeds and supply for our man when he wants it but we don't take any b.s. and if you want a human doormat or punching bag then maybe we aren't for you all.
But this is what you guys want...
YOU- **coming in at 3:00 in the morning**
Wife- Hon where have you been?
YOU- Cheating banging some fine ass chick.
Wife- Oh well okay, then did you use protection that's all that matters.
YOU- Bytch shut up.
Wife- Okay **going back into room**
(Next scenerio)
YOU- Why do yo have to know everywhere I go, I got a chick waiting on me.
Wife- But hon I thought we were having dinner together later?
YOU- Bytch I got a chick waiting on me, I'ma finna be out.
Wife- But hon!
YOU- **slap** **slap** **punch**
Wife- Oh my gosh you hit me!
YOU- Yep **turns around and begins to leave**
Wife That's okay I forgive you, you can go out there and have fun **runs to room and closes door**
If that's the type of woman you guys are complaining about must of not being then I'm sorry for you, because you aren't gonna find too many black women like that! Also men harp about us not enabling you guys to be the man but judging by some of threads on here made in the relationship section some men complaining about that being too much of a job. This isn't a fairytale world where you guys think you can just sit there and exist.

Re: Salma Hayek's New Orleans Creole Roots
Mmmmmm Hmmmmmmmm.....
I can totally see what they're claiming. Like I said earlier, it's no surprise though. You can go anywhere and see black women who have the same look as these two. Africa is in everyone........and everything in Hollywood is a lie.

All mixed Creoles do not look like they have African roots...its called passing.
Furthermore the author clearly stated that the Creoles that left Louisiana intermarried with the Native American Mexicans which would further dilute the bloodline.
I know a person from New Orleans who claims that his grandparents are old friends of the descendants of Salma's mother's people that stayed behind after the war.
He also alleges that Salma does indeed have an Aunt that used to live in New Orleans and that she did indeed spend a lot of time around the more bourgie echelons of Black Creole society.
He is very pro-Creole and if you know anything about them, they don't claim what isn't theirs...they are VERY anal about pedigree and bloodlines...and Catholic Church records are used to back it up.
But just because he believes it to be so doesn't make all of it true...but he claims they have been whispering about Salma for YEARS...thats why I said "rumors".

I can see it too...but you can't tell some people some things...
Let's just say that there are certain features that are INDIGENOUS to African people...particularl y in the eyes and cheekbones.

I can see Arabic background in Salma (it is so noticeable in her face) but I am still not sure about the Creole background.

Black people are always trying to claim others. Salma is not black and there ain't nothing wrong with that.

Re: Salma Hayek's New Orleans Creole Roots
I've heard that rumor before.
I just called my mom and told her that Salma Hayek is our cousin! lol
But I always thought that she was mixed with something because she doesn't look like your typical Mexican. But i'm kinda annoyed by her and her accent....if it's fake. She doesn't even try to pretend like she's an American with Mexican roots, she comes across like she's all Miss Mexico that just learned english last year.

Re: Salma Hayek's New Orleans Creole Roots
Salma loves her Mexico. That's where she started her career. There, is where she calls, her home. Whatever else she is mixed with, she has Mexico in her heart. Whatever else she is mixed with, it doesn't make her less Mexican.
ˇElla tiene el corazón Mexicano!

Re: Salma Hayek's New Orleans Creole Roots
I don't know about her having Creole roots. Who knows? Could she have African roots? Sure. The slaves were brought to Mexico as well. There are Mexicans who claim to have African roots particularly in Puerta Vallarta or Vera Cruz if I am not mistaken. I have to go back and look at my notes. At any rate I read that her father is Lebanese and her mother is Mexican
