Spiritus Leach (The Dark Prince)-Dark Angel Of Shadows: Black History Month-Black Vampires Pt.1 (In the Media)

Teresa Graves (Old Dracula)

It's Black History Month and there is something that comes to my attention.....
We are often bombarded by the stereotypical Caucasian view of Vampires through the media and certain portion of historical facts. Not say that isn't nice to see but however there has been an untold side of Vampires that is rarely seen that also have historical facts as well. Historical facts ranging from all over the world and in different cultures. With all of that said why is it that you would rarely see a black or ethnic Vampires in movies and even when you do it's usually just one or two, not a whole group? (If there is a movie where there is more in a group maybe it's low budget or underground perhaps. Surprisingly to some I haven't seen them all but maybe there is someone who can bring some more urban Vampire or Urban Gothic film's to my knowledge ) If you do see us it's more like a rare yet priceless and beautiful as well, and sometimes that main one sticks out such as Akasha who is the Mother of Vampires or Blade who is somewhat of a Vampire, technically he is a Dhampir half Vampire/half Human but being a Dhampir is another story for another time-----lets just say Vampire to keep it short and simple, and of course Blacula, how could anyone forget or not mention Blacula? Now that was a movie that had more than one or two black Vampires.
That is the main purpose of why I am making this post for this Black History Month to share and honor the legendary Vampires of African/ Black/ Native -Native descent.
To also acknowledge Vampires that also made a difference and did great work whether it may be in media or real life (To some that may not know or is skeptical yes there are individuals that identify themselves as actual Vampires. I know personally and that will be spoken about in Part 2 of this blog V''''V ) This is the first post of more to come regarding Black and Ethnic Vampires especially during Black History Month. This blog post is focused more on the ones that is well known in the media. Remember Black Lives Matter and Undead Lives Matter as well. If someone have more to add let me know, I will also acknowledge you. Have a great evening and Blessed Be)0( V''''V
