In the earlier days it was common for West African colonies to be mostly run by europenized blacks (often freed slaves, called Creols or Congos) and mullatos.
When medicine advanced this was roled back and the blacks were replaced with white officals.
How could there be more such states (in addition to Liberia)?
Could this modus-operandi survive till decolonialisation?
I think it could offer an interesting middle road between immediate one-man-one-vote-one-party and white minority rule. Maybe a gradualy
expandimg franchise tied to education and way of life.
