Its possible...but Caribbean's are of mixed decent,as are some former British/European colonies in Sub-Saharan Africa. Blue eyes are not natural to SSA Negroid's .
The blacks of Britain have significant Caucasoid admixture.

Striking combo of blue eyes and dark skin, very nice. They don't look like contacts, the colour is identical to that of the white boy and my own husband's eyecolour. I don't know if 'pure' black Africans can have blue eyes, she could very well have some Caucasoid ancestry way back.

Doesn't blue eyes require that both parents have the gene for blue eyes?
Do Africans have such genes at all?

Didn't Carleton Coon encounter blue-eyed Nigerians?

Coon mentions there are some blue eyed Nigerians. Of course this may be a genetic mutation in this one tribe/area or an admixture from Caucasians. A few caucasians did make there way to Nigeria, but perhaps this is a genetic mutation specifically to this one area. He doesn't go into much detail. Light eyes are pretty much a caucacasian trait. Although some Ainu are known to have light eyes, but again this could be a mutation specific to the Ainu.

Her nose is pretty narrow as well. She can land a husband just based on exoticism. She can have beautifl mulatto babies with ice blue eyes. That will be a sight.

The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean. You don't always know if it is green

Blue eyes and narrow noses are not better. She looks young. Don't think she wants to land a husband just yet. These are not the dark ages, LOL.

^^I am not suggesting she marry now! I mean later when she is seeking a husband she won't have a problem b/c her beauty is unique.

I saw a blue eyed mulatto-baby who was pretty dark today.
