There probably are more black Islamic converts than white ones because of the heavy recruiting (Saudi-funded) Islamic prison chaplains have done in the jails among young black men who had no religion whatsoever. They're not all "Black Muslims" (members of the Nation of Islam), but are simply converts to Islam who are black. Some of the people involved in the first WTC bombing were black converts to Islam, but not NOI, as were some of the people thought to have been involved in OKC (aside from McVey, who had his own agenda).

There definitely are white Muslims, however, not only in the US but abroad. Islamics are recruiting heavily in Mexico, for example. And it is not unusual in the university town where I live to see kids who are clearly the product of white suburban America trotting around in their Islamic garb. They get glowing coverage in our local paper, of course (hint - it's a New York Times paper...).

Oh please...don't give me a primer on NOI, Sunni, Shiite, Moorish Science Temple or for G-d's sake Christian Identity.

I can tell you more about all of those than you'd like to know.

Blacks who follow Nation of Islam do it because they like it's message and they belong to something....it's nothing but a gang like BGD but with stronger dogma.

People or Sheeple are responsibile for what they follow.

McVeigh followed Pete Peters because he liked the message. Blacks who follow Bow Tie Louis and all that White Devil crap do it for the same reason. It appeals to them.
