Two blue eyed parents can only have a blue eyed child, however blue eyes can happen to any child if one of the parents have blue eyes in thier family. Not all African Americans are genetically pure to Africa. They, like most Americans have a mixture of races. So, yes African Americans can have blue eyes, even if it is a rare occurrence.

Yes, but that usually means they are of mixed races.
I think blue/green eyes look beautiful on African Americans.

I really would be freaked out by that. I've never seen a full 100% African with Blue eyes before. The ones that do are probably bi-racial (not full black) or wearing contacts.

I had Blue eyes when I was Born. They are mostly greenish hazel but it is possible.
In fact I have an uncle with Blue eyes...
It's all genetics...

It's not just AA men. My father is white with brown eyes that are now blue. I don't know about his eyesight. He can't drive and has too many other health worries. He never complains about his eyes bothering him though.

Absolutely, yes. Blue eyes are a recessive trait, so if an African American has any forebears who had them -- and many do, dating back to slave days and the first racial intermingling -- then the trait can emerge.

yes
It also note worthy to know the first color that the iris forms into is blue lol. It changes color when melanin take place. Michael Jackson's dad has blue eyes. Blind black people have blue eyes as well but not all though.

Someone told me that when black babies are first born, some of them have blue eyes. You can't tell because their eyes are closed. However, their eyes eventually darken. I don't really know if it is true or not.

yes BUT only if one of his parents have had blue eyes and the other parent has had a parent with blue eyes (50%chance) or both of their parents had parents who had blue eyes(25%chance).
