"Vampire beliefs have not been prominent among Africa, which believed in both vampires and witches who acted like vampires, and were brought to the United States either directly or by way of Haiti or the other French islands in the Caribbean. Folklorists working among African Americans in the southern United States in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries found a number of accounts of vampires. Some were more traditional bloodsuckers. One account from Tennessee told of an old woman whose health seemed to constantly improve while the children's health declined because she sucked their blood while they slept: "de chillun dies, an' she keeps on a-livin'." The most definable vampire figure reported among African Americans was the fifollet, or the feu-follet, known to the residents of Louisiana. The fifollet, the traditional will-o-the-wisp (light seen at night over the swamp areas), derived from the French incubus/succubus figure, was the soul of a dead person that had been sent back to Earth by God to do penance, but instead attacked people. Most of the attacks were mere mischief, but on occasion, the fifollet became a vampire who sucked the blood of people, especially children. Some believed that the fifollet was the soul of a child who had died before baptism. " I'm so late on this, but I gotta say I'm upset! Vampires aren't a black thing or a white thing it's a "death thing" & you got some sucky ass white vampire movies too(Twilight, underworld(vamps.),vampire's kiss, bloodrayne, dracula 2000... should I keep going people???)!!! If that's your main reference point, "queen of the damned, blacula, etc." then i gotta say you sound real lame yourself! We out here now, deal with it... bitches |
Who wud you rather be!!!

You just got trawled from beyond the grave.

Much like a vampire, this thread won't stay dead.
And, more than likely, at least one person in Africa has accidentally found it on Google, and /raged. COINCIDENCE!? I THINK NOT! |

Europeans had anaemia, postmortem bleeding and vampire legends... Haiti had kidnapped slaves (via drugging with ostensible burial and exhumation), Voodoun and the legends of 'zombii'.... Ergo black people make terrible vampires and white people make terrible zombies. U Mad Gnet? |

The Queen of the Damned was in all a interesting movie. The plot being that a vampire was tired of living life in the shadows and sought out a life in the light. Aaliyah(being black) played a very good vampire. Being the queen of them all. She displayed authority, confidence, and the blood lust of any vampire. Also the picture you have chosen to support this argument of yours show nothing but ignorance and childish behavior. If anyone of these people reading this was smart enough to realize that the first picture you posted is of a teenage black nerd who found photoshop and painted his eyes blue and what may seem he add some small fangs. This could be argued to be the design of some messed up teeth. This is also NOT picture of a movie containing a black vampire so this clearly is irrelevant and can not be used to prove your point. The second picture is of a man dressed up for Halloween. Knowing that Halloween is time of creativity. He is clearly dressed up has "Zorro Vampire" *Hint* The Zorro look a like mask. He had no intentions of being a scary vampire. He did this for fun. and like i stated before. This is clearly not a picture of any movie containing a black vampire. So this irrelevant and can not be used to prove your point. The third picture (barley too small to see) is from a movie all critics called a complete disaster. The Director was horrible and could not stare the direction of vampires in to the future. Critics also stated the movie disrespected the memory of Dracula and on top of that deemed it unworthy of watching. Dracula 3000 is a movie that failed all together. So using a picture of a over all completely FAILED MOVIE brings you no closer to proving your the point of the topic. Ask for your forth picture of Blacula. He was created in the 60-70's stereotype that all black people had "Pork Chop Side-Burns" and a "Afro" to match. Using the picture of a movie created in 1972 where racism was just being lifted of the shoulder's of america cant clearly define the theory of "White Vampires" being better "Black Vampires". The concept of that movie was based on a bias information and creation. Also in Dracula II: Ascension the "Black Guy" who was turned in to a vampire did a excellent job as a vampire. He display the horror, stealth, and killer instincts of a vampire. Not the mention the other 2 "Movies" i talked about. (Blade and The Queen of the Damned) I have yet to see solid information to support your topic. Next time you post something like this use actual information and not things you found while trying to enforce you own racist ambitions. |
^ You're hilarious.

Racial comparison. Why?
