Most black Americans are Christian, Muslim or atheist, so 1% probably practice voodoo.

...and all this time I thought voodoo was a Haitian thing...

I suppose you are very uneducated, but if I guess right, its practice in some Caribbean countries, along side with Catholicism

0%..

85% of Black Americans are Christian...The rest are split between Muslim, Jewish, catholic, or atheist and most of the later 15% are African immigrants, not American blacks.

The religion is actually called voiding and is a form of traditional African worship. The name translated incorrectly to "voodoo" as Africans arrived in other parts of the world. They were able to cleverly continue their ancestral worship under the eyes of the slave owners and missionaries and Catholicism and other religions.

BTW other ethnicity's, e.g., Filipinos, Mexicans, etc. practice a form of what you call voodoo.
