How are blacks treated in the UK?

Not quite sure how you mean treating them like you did in the 1960's...

I'm not 100% sure but I'd say America def had more black people in their country before we did. We may have colonised many countries and instilled black slavery but there weren't any black people here in the UK until the 1950's.

My Granddad never even saw a black person until he was 12 years old.

AFter WW2 we encouraged black people in our former colonies such as Jamaica to come to the UK to work and fill jobs that were left vacant by those killed in the war.

We here in the UK have racism like in all countries. That said, and this is just my opinion, race seems to be a bigger isssue in the states than it does over here and in the rest of Europe.

I know exactly what he means,black people couldnt vote in the South until the 60's
I mean they were legally able, but they'd have had to be a freaking idiot to try it.

Just as they are anywhere else. There's hardly any black people here where I live.
