Beyoncé just HAD to write a song about her being part Creole, not just "regular black"...as if the world didn't know this about her already. Apparently she credits her beauty on this fact.

The Creole is vital and essential to all Incognito partakers. Short for "The Creole Cockpitt", the Creole is the commandments of Incognito, or as I like to personally call it, "Incog." The Creole contains rules and regulations in which Incognitoers must abide by, and how they must go about their Incognito mission. Links to the Creole may include Tupac, Big L, Lil Wayne, and Hannah Montana.
The Creole Cockpitt says that all Incognitoers must proclaim "I AM INCOGNITO!" when they sign on their Incognito screen name.

The original creole was the class in S. America during the Spanish discovery of the New World. A creole during that time is of pure Spanish blood born in the New World. The class above them were the peninsulares, or Spaniards born in Spain.
The creoles started to revolt against the peninsulares because they thought it was unfair that they didn't have equal rights even though they were of the same descent, only born in a different place.
