Getting black?: What is meant by getting black? If toes are truly getting black then this is a medical emergency i.E gangrene and you need to see a vascular doctor asap.

Blood flow issue: Sounds like a blood clot or blocked vessel from something else. See a vascular doctor right away! the topic tags below list "african american" so sickle cell could also be an issue.
