I suppose it goes without saying, but I will say it anyway, that the meaning of the word "Zombie" and the word 'vodoo' for that matter are twisted products of Hollywood & other USA mass media offerings.

Also 'negro' with a small 'n' as found in the above linked historical article is a definite no no. The once acceptable referent 'Negro' is mostly used nowadays by African Americans as a diss [insult] for submissive Black people who are Euro-centric in their attitudes and actions.
