Safest place for a black couple to migrate to?

OH my!

I am White and have been surprised by the lack of people of color in Bulgaria, however, I see and meet more over the last two years. 

I don't know if my advice is valid but I am used to (as an American) in mingling with people of many colors without concern, but I am also aware that racism is rampant in America.   I have not sensed it in
Bulgaria.   My view is that Sofia is the most cosmopolitan city and maybe the most accepting. 

While I have not seen racism but that is because there are not many people of color.   My advice would be to contact the American University in Bulgaria and see what they say.  Also,  to visit a few times prior to making a decision.   As for me, you are welcome to visit me and I would host you in my city St. Vlas.

As for violence---There is little except between Mafia groups and they avoid the general population. 

I think the color of money dominates in Bulgaria, not the color of skin.

I have had property in Bulgaria for many years now and i find that they are very much set in the "old ways" many do not accept Mixed sex couples, mixed race nor black , and dislike Expats but love the money we bring with us, we still sometimes get a really hard look of contempt from some of the locals and me and my wife are both white

I wonder what bubble one could live in to say that Bulgaria is not a racist country. The majority of Bulgarians I've met--from the sweetest old ladies to little children--are racist. That being said, many are not racist against blacks, especially depending on country of origin.

If you live in a small village, be aware that you may be the first black person the locals have seen in person. I had one friend get annoyed that the village kids always wanted to touch her skin and hair. (I could see that getting really annoying really quick) but she didn't experience aggression or that type of racism... just more of unfiltered curiousity.

I must admit i quite like the fact that political correctness has not yet gone mad in Bulgaria like it has all over the rest of the world.... they still call it how it is and say what they think as they do in Russia... you know where you stand.

Only in the US and Europe (the west) have they passed laws to make you like people and accept certain groups of people ??? and as we know this will never really happen it simply keeps you quiet and the resentment gets even stronger not allowing people the freedom to say what they think without fear of being a "criminal"  leads to further hatred... but having said that when they do silence people in this way who now has become the "fascist" ???

I'm an American mutt -- five different kinds of western European and two different kinds of native American in my ancestry. 
I've been living here in Bulgaria for more than 10 years ... many of the Bulgarians on first meeting me think I'm German.  When they hear me speak I'm thought to be English.  There aren't that many Americans living on the coast.
Is this a bigotry?  Well, it is people seeing what they see through the filters they have.

When I first moved here if I saw a black man or woman I would think them American ... i am from Los Angeles.  So there's that.

Most Bulgarians outside of Sofia will have only seen black people on Television, watching overdubbed programs from America or Great Britain. 
So what part of Bulgaria are you interested in?

Hello
