Half a season. And I guess they don't mind having one black guy and one black girl. So long as they end up together. Pop culture takes its cue cards from the Eric Cartman school of matchmaking.
Michonne is super duper black. I reckon that she's at least 2x blacker than any other African on the show. That said, I'm fairly confident that the producers of TWD are counting her as two Africans. This means that as long as Michonne is still alive, the 2 Africans quota will always be met.
It's a genius strategy, really.

That Chad Coleman guy is like Robert Downey Jr. black. That is, he's kinda white. They may be accepting Michonne's Double Blackness and allowing for Tyrese's Whackness. That'll give them a 2.5 quota for the Melanin Scale. It's risky exceeding 2, but this show seems to be about pushing boundaries.
...There will be THAT many Africans, you see.

You're twisted, bro. It wouldn't have made must sense considering that the Governor just got some action from Andrea. Would have made some sense for Merle to do it, though.

Also, Glenn is a pussy. He sat there that entire time and let Merle beat his ass, when he could have just flexed and broke out of the duct tape.Unrealistic is right.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the way he got out was by thrashing around and eventually crashing and breaking the chair against the wall.

Nah, he just flexed.
I can see that happening. He seems like he really cares what people think about him, and in the post-apocalypse world, people of different colors and cultures have to live together. Guv can't be seen to play favorites.
He'll probably try to rape Michonne in the season finale, shortly after he rapes Glenn. He won't want people thinking he's racist and a homophobe.
It's unfortunate that it looks like the whole Michonne vs Governor fued isn't ever really going to materialize. I knew they wouldn't be able to do it in such a brutal manner as in the books, but to drop it entirely is a huge mistake. It was an essential part of Michonne's character development and a big part of why she was such an enormous badass, without that brutal fued her character will suffer significantly.
