This is a real question was wondering if some of you guys that live in the eastern part of Ohio could answer. Have you ever seen or heard of a black Amish person? Someone asked me I have no clue.

Yup, it happens. Often times it's a baby that's adopted by an Amish family. Rare. I know of at least another fellow that decided to join them for a change for a simpler way of life...

I'd say this is the black version of a bowl cut...

I've passed many (Amish)on the road, in Walmart and about the southern part of the county and not seen one.
Guess Huck's seen a rare bird there.

I have seen some black Amish kids, never an adult. I have lots of old order Mennonite neighbors and they often adopt or take in foster kids that are black or asian.

There used to be an Orthodox priest in Ytown that was raised Amish and converted. He kept the hair, beard, hat and denim but added a BIG gold crucifix on a THICK gold chain. That ranks as one of the strangest things I have ever seen.

That reminds me... What goes:
Q: Clipity Clop, Clipity Clop, BANG!, BANG! Clipity Clop, Clipity Clop.
A: An Amish drive by shooting. :smiley_crocodile:

I find it a little odd that a whitetailspecialties is asking a question about black Amish. Just sayin'... :smiley_blink:
