Southern Baptists are generally and overwhelmingly white churches and they are not only in the south.

I always thought that Southern Baptist could be black or white.

Southern Baptist is a denomination, and they happened to be white for the most part. There are other Baptist denominations that are mostly black.

-- They can be. All I'm saying is that the SBC is the largest protestant denomination in the country and it is predominantly white. There are lots of black baptist churches but they aren't always affiliated with the SBC.

The Southern Baptist convention started over the fact that the Northern Baptists wouldn't allow a missionary from the South to go on the mission field because he owned slaves. We apologized for that a few years ago. But, still, most S.B.C. churches are white. National Baptists are mostly if not exclusively black.

Most blacks are NOT Southern Baptist, but Southern Baptist churches do admit black members. Blacks are usually part of predominantly black denominations.

Southern Baptist churches supported slavery which is why they broke off from the main Baptists in the first place and later segregation. They have since admitted they were wrong and have made strides in improving relations with other races. But for the most part, most Southern Baptist churches are predominately white while most black Baptists in the South are Baptist but not Southern Baptists.
