There are many reasons for this. For one thing vampires should not have skin pigmentation. They don't go out in the sun, and they aren't scary. Having a black person walking around in a cape with a Romanian accent is ridiculous.
Visual cases of black people trying to be scary vampires and just looking stupid.

You can go ahead and say I'm being racist but black people just don't make good vampires. I don't know why, can't put my finger on it. It simply does not work. It's the same reason the white guy is always the comic relief or getting killed in a street gang movie or why Malibu's Most Wanted was made.
Black people make terrible vampires. |
"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
