We have conversed on CD before and have been involved in threads in the Americas forum. You are aware of my heritage. Why don't you share your heritage?
No, I am not aware of your heritage because you always go to great pains to conceal it. It's clear that my heritage is Barbadian. The "Yankee" part means that I'm an American of Barbadian ancestry. Hence "BajanYankee."
Now...why don't you share your heritage? You could at least give the first letter of the country.
As stated, not sure why it comes as a surprise to you that I would state that in the present, it depends. Some random person on the internet is not going to change my life experiences...LOL.
So whether the majority of African Americans in this country are Protestant "depends" on your life experiences?
You've never even said where you live. It sure as hell ain't the Tri-State. Not Florida either.

I'll just let you act as though you are unaware.

No one is speaking about your so-called "examples."
Most Caribbeans look black,so that is what they are perceived as.
Same with Africans.
Try going into the middle of Alabama or Iowa. If you are unsure what you are perceived as,they will let you know with a quickness!
Some one else is West Indian that I had no idea of....the Security advisor Susan Rice.
Yeah, I bet President Obama wishes he lived in the world that caribdoll occupies.
I didn't know she was West Indian. I know her father is from the South.

That's the most common combination in the Caribbean (e.g., Tatyana Ali, Nicki Minaj). Note that both of my examples consider themselves to be African American.

nope, sorry...
there is a definite phenotypic difference between most Black Americans and Caribbeans or Africans.
we Black Americans have been highly 'mixed' through out the years with white (mostly Irish) and Native American blood to varying degrees...
