i have green eyes, but my grandmothers from Eritrea who also has greenyes. my fathers black (african american) and my mothers half eritrean have black. most eastern africans have light eyes, but im not dure if this may have been from when slave trade was still going on, because i know that some africans were raped by their owners. i dont think fully african people can have light eyes without having some trace of european in them from wayyy back :S

“ummm yeh they look nice i think browm eyes are realy a boring color no affence i have big blue green eyes and love it im black also but very light skin i get comennts alot.”

Krissy your absolutely clueless to the world around you and your ignorance in humanity shows. How dare you belittle others based on something as stupid as eye color having blue eyes and being black means nothing you like so many others have been brainwashed to believe that having light eyes means your better than other people. There are many other people with brown eyes who look better than you and that model Vasi. I have bright green eyes with specks of brown and both my parents had brown eyes my mom has beautiful brown eyes and I have many friends with beautiful brown eyes. There are many models with brown eyes that could rival yours. Get over yourself your not all that it kills me with us as black people all this self hate. No one’s eye color is better than anyones.

And that baby looks freaky sorry but blue eyes aren’t very becoming on him.

It is often a surprise for people to learn
that, in reality, there is actually No Such
Thing As a “Light Skinned Black” person.

The term “Light Skinned Black” is really
nothing more than a racist oxymoron that
was created by White Supremacists in an
effort to forcibly deny those Mixed-Race
people, who are of a Multi-Generational
Multiracially-Mixed (MGM-Mixed) Lineage,
the right to fully embrace and receive
public support in implementing their
rightful choice to acknowledge the truth
regarding their full ancestral heritage.

The people who have been slapped with the
racist false-label and oxymoronic misnomer
of “Light Skinned Black” person are simply
Mixed-Race individuals — whose family have
been continually Mixed-Race throughout
the multiple generations of their existence.

Seriously you people can be so clueless sometimes…. just because you aint light skinned doesnt mean you cant be mixed race….Caribbean people are known for having a lot of mixes in their geans which can result to having green or blue eyes or even different colour and texture of hair.

BUT THAT ISNT ALWAYS THE CASE…. like albino people lack a lot of melanin in their skin and can cause a few parts of the body to appear lighter then it should e.g. (hair, skin and eyes).

IM NOT TRYING TO SAY everyone with green or blue eyes is an albino because that would be incorrect.

THE POINT IM TRYING TO MAKE IS….you know how white people carry a gean of having light eyes that runs in their geans and can be past on to their children…… the reason why some people eyes are lighter than others is because they have less melanin in their eyes and white people are most common for it (less melanin can effect eyes too you know).

NOW..when a black person carry’s that gean and has children with someone without the gean theirs a 50/50% chance of the children carrying the gean as well….BUT WHEN BOTH PARTNERS HAVE THE GEAN and have children their is a massive % chance that their children will come out with green or blue eyes.

I KNOW THIS BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY HAVE IT (and they are not mixed race or light skinned, some are but the one’s with the gean aren’t). My heritage is black Caribbean and I’m a student still in secondary school. I HOPE YOU KINDA UNDERSTOOD MY POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE!!

African Americans all have some European ancestry. Brown eyes are the default eye colour for every race of people Europeans included. Green eyes are recessive to Brown eyes, Blue eyes are recessive to Green and Brown eyes. Recent studies have suggested that blue eyes are only 10,000 – 6,000 years old. They are a mutation that scientists think occurred around the Black Sea area and rapidly spread around North and North West Europe where there is very little sunlight and a cold climate.

It would limit your survival in the African sun to have blue eyes.

I think that it is truly amazing. Most Black people that have blue or light colored eyes are light themselves. Not that anything is wrong with that. I’m just saying that for a brown skinned baby, in my opinion, it’s awesome. He is going to have it going on when he’s older. Trust me.

My grandmother had green eyes and all of her children had either bright green eyes or yellow-tinted eyes except my father. My eyes are between dark brown and hazel. Back in my family tree on both sides, my great great grandfathers were white. If you see an african-american with green, blue, or hazel eyes, they definitely have a white ancestor. It might be generations back, but it is there. Our ancestors did not get off the boat with light skin, european features, and light-colored eyes.

Well we don’t say that white people can’t have brown eyes, we never say “oh your too white to have brown eyes, so your not a “real” white person” lol. So if white people who are the lightest of all races can have brown eyes why isn’t it possible for black or non-white people to have lighter shades of eye color without being mixed? If that’s the case then everyone is mixed. And that’s a bunch of bull and it doesn’t make you any less black or of non-european ethnicity. Eye color is complicated anyway because there’s more than 1 gene that determines eye color. And at times it just shows up at random, it happens. Its simply just what god wanted and shows you that his creations aren’t just limited to certain factors like racial mixing. It could be a mutation without any interaction from another people. Thousands of years ago there were probably “real” black people who had blue eyes or other hues besides brown. It was just a rare occurence and I’m not refering to albinism either.

they can only have them if they’re mixed. that means they aren’t black they’re mulatto. real black people can’t have green or blue eyes

Blue eyes is a recessive trait. In order for a child to manifest with blue eyes (the phenotype) he/she must have received a blue eye gene one from each parent. So both of his parents are blue eye gene carriers. Racial purity is rare anywhere on the earth. All people are racially mixed it is just a matter of how much of a percentage of what you are mixed with. And yes, even in Africa the people are mixed.

I just think some people are ignorant to say that the baby is scary. That baby is just what God wanted him to be. In case you didn’t know….black people can make any color skin, hair, and eyes. There is no limit. Just because you never saw a black baby with blue eyes doesn’t mean it’s scary or ugly. It just means you need to read more and maybe even travel the world. You’ll be amazed what you’ll find.

I have blue eyes and both my parents are black (although my great grandmother is mixed black n white) and my other grandmother is mixed with black and indian.
Yes a black person can have blue eyes but only if one of their ancestors were white european.
The same goes for green eyes. When people have different ethnicities the sky is the limit with eye colour.

Black people can have blue eyes. I have an aunt, an uncle and a first cousin with natural blue eyes.

Having different color eyes other than the normal brown is very common on my father’s side of the family. My father has hazel eyes and he has 6 other siblings, 4 out of the 6 plus my father have different color eyes. Two of them, my father’s sister and brother (my aunt and uncle) have natural striking blue eyes and dark skin just like the pictures of baby Laren. My father’s other two sisters (my aunts) have steel grey eyes and light brownish yellow respectively.

My father’s family orgin is from Trinidad/Tobago.

I think it is a recessive gene because I have brown eyes, being that my mother, who is black as well, has brown eyes.

Im a lighskinned brotha, most people think one of my parents is white. No my family for some reason married into light skinned blacks. Im the fairest in our family tree.

Thats not a boast in any way!

anyhow Ill admit, it seems very strange to see such a blue eyed lack child. That is a very qute child. But at the same time those eyes! It looks so foreign to me almost alien!

of course its bound to happen.

Actually, light eyes are not a sub-saharan african trait. It’s mostly european influence. Just b/c ur parents may identify as “black” there most likely intermixing in the past(trust me A LOT). due to this country’s history of treating race, we come to think that we are “pure” and no intermingling goes on…it’s just a fact, accept it….Having blue, green, purple etc eyes will not make you “less” black.

Ok you people are not educated. The girl who said just because lighted skinned doesnt mean your mixed? ah yeah it does, somewhere down the line the was some in your family maybe on both siad that wasnt black. and to the girl from kenya I thought you would know many people in africa have none african people somewhere in there family which results in light, to mid skin and light to mid eye color.

It’s rare, but it obviously happens. Blue eyes are recessive. Green is the rarest. Nobody questions Paris Hilton because blue eyes are common among White Europeans. And one doesn’t need to be mixed with European to have light eyes. There are 100% Africans who do posses hazel, although super rare, blue eyes.

Mrs.Williams obviously has blue eyes;not green. Compare Tyra’s eyes and Vanessa’s eyes,they are very very different. Anyway,I’m glad that you know her eye color is real,as for there are people who think she is wearing contacts. It’s funny because Paris Hilton wears contacts [natural color is brown] and nobody questions her!

This site lists her eyes as blue :http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/people/dating/vanessa-l-williams.htm!

I guess we made it now! LOL So what? My aunts/uncles have two Black (American) parents and they have all different colored eyes. Of course we all have European heritage, or else we would be straight African! So what?!?! What does that mean? Nothing at all. How about we make a “Black people can have straight hair too”…how about it? So?

I thought both of Ms. Williams’ parents were just light skinned black folk. I’m a huge Vanessa Williams fan and have never read or heard of her saying she or her parents are mix. Just because your light skinned does not mean you are mix.

Yes Black people can have blue eyes; but her eyes are green. At least they were when she crowned Ms. America.
