Russell Simmons, Andre 3000, brandy, Common, Dick Gregory, and Wu Tang Clan's Masta Killa are all vegetarian and black!.
According to Russell, "Cruelty is cruelty, whether it’s cruelty to children, to the elderly, to dogs and cats, or to chickens!."
Andre 3000: When asked how he would spend his last day on Earth, Andre 3000 of OutKast replied, "I'd probably go for a great meal—some broccoli probably, because I'm a vegetarian!."
Brandy: "I am a vegan now, and it was a conscious decision!. I studied a lot about African culture and health and the best way to take care of the body!. … I really wanted to be healthy!. I found out a lot about the body and what [drugs] they put in meat!. My taste buds started changing, and I didn't crave [meat and dairy products] anymore!."
Common: "I think and speak clearer since I cut the dairy out!. I can breathe better and perform at a better rate, and my voice is clearer!. I can explore different things with my voice that I couldn't do because of my meat and dairy ingestion!. I am proud and blessed to be a vegetarian!. Everything became clear!."
Dick Gregory: "Animals and humans suffer and die alike!. Violence causes the same pain, the same spilling of blood, the same stench of death, the same arrogant, cruel, and brutal taking of life!."
Wu Tang Clan's Masta Killa: "I never really liked meat!. I was a child that had to be forced to eat my meat!. Whatever you ate before [going vegetarian] that you loved—like turkey slices—they've got a substitute now that's not hard to find!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

Often the type of food we eat is influenced by our cultural background and or religious beliefs!. It could be that in countries where black people originate from (even if not born there) that meat is generally part of the diet whereas in Asia vegetarianism is quite wide spread (due mostly to poverty and religion)!. Though obviously there are 'black' vegetarians I dont suppose they go shouting it from the roof tops as it isnt really very important!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
There are thousands of vegetarians in the Afro-American Community!. I know several of them personally throughout these United States and there are also several fabulous vegetarian soul food restaurants in NY and in Chicago that I am personally aware of -- and I m sure that there are others in other parts of the country!.

People who are black are far more likely to be lactose-intolerant too, so many will not drink milk anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't see why not, it's nothing to do with colour but personal choice and often conscience!.
