Since the religion was founded in the Middle East, just a tad above a certain continent, one would expect there to be the odd onclave or two. A number of people have already pointed out the most famous one recently, but you might want to google a couple of the North African Nations with that question to get a better feel for the numbers.
Here is a start:

Of course there are Black Jews! Where ever you go, there's always someone Jewish! Jews live in huts, and Jews live in Pagodas!
There are the Black Isrealites, although I wouldn't call them "Jewish" per-se. More like Angry Black men with crowns and swords.
Look at the placement of Isreal! It's very near to Africa if not on the continent itself!
There was even a famous military skirmish to save Black Ethiopian Jews once in recent combat history.

Don't you ever listen to Adam Sandler's Hanukkah songs? Four versions now, and there are a few people of color thrown in. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Rod Carew and Lenny Kravitz, but there has to be others. I think.

Yes. They have usually converted to Judiaism. The late Sammy Davis Jr. was one such convert. There a few of them out there.

Of course there are. As a previous respondent said, Sammy Davis Jr. was one and I am sure there are others. Somebody confirm this, but isn't Whoopie Goldberg Jewish?

Yes. Many. In fact, Ethopian Jews were quite common in the days of Jesus. Philip witnessed to one in the book of Acts.

How about this one....there's a group called "Jews for Jesus" and it's jewish people who accept that Jesus is the messiah. Okay, doesn't that make them.....christians?!!
