I mean like if your Grandma and Grandpa on both sides are black and your mother and father are more than 75% black and your great grandma was 50% native American and 50%black(we're talking about when the KKK was around) and my great grandpa on my mothers side well more than 75%

Of course, eye color is based on your genetics. Eye color isn't exclusive to certain races. I know black people with blue eyes and they don't have any recent white ancestry.

I have hazel eyes and I'm of mixed Puerto Rican/Italian ancestry (and I have white, taino, and moorish blood in me) and no one on either side of my family has my eye color. Both sides of my family are dark haired and dark eyed save for my blonde hair/blue eyed grandmother. Sometimes genes just show up out of nowhere from down the line.
Just so you know, I've seen many blacks and even some asians with hazel eyes, it seems to be a recessive eye color that can be found in any race, just very rare in general (only about 5% of the world has hazel eyes).

Extremely unlikely...but possible, yes.
To the Hispanic folks posting here.....odds are, you have a considerable amount of white Spanish blood.....so to say that a Hispanic person having hazel eyes is comparable to a black person having hazel eyes isn't a relative comparison.

Yes. Brown is the dominant eye color so someone with one blue eye gene and one brown eye gene can have hazel or even dark brown eyes. If they pass on the blue eye gene and their partner passes on a brown eye gene the baby can have hazel eyes-even when both parents, grandparents etc. have brown eyes.

Well, by some miracle you may be related to one white person waaaaaaaay down the line, and somehow you got hazel eyes

provided your ancestry has more than 1 color eye, the possibility exists.

I wasn't aware that hazel eyes were directly linked to white people....
