This one isn't covered there--the list of African states where
a black person can go to bed at night without worrying that the
henchmen of the local (Black) despot will make a midnight courtesy
call is a short one indeed.  Besides South Africa, I can think of maybe
one place--Ivory Coast, and I'm not completely sure about that one.
There is in fact a substantial net IN-migration of blacks INTO South Africa
looking for a better life.
Perhaps someone can tell us about other African Elyseums.
