How are blacks treated in the UK?

[CFH]

Since it was the UK who began the slave trade in the 16th century, how were blacks treated after their so called freedom in the 1800's? And did the British go about treating blacks like we did here in the US as late as the 1960's?

WOW... you seriously need a history lesson. First off, I'm assuming you're referring to the Transatlantic slave trade, which was started around 1452 by the PORTUGUESE AND THE SPANISH.

[ History of slavery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ]

Slavery is as old as war, prostitution, and religion, and there is no group of people that's not guilty of it.

Truth be told, the American slaves were the best treated in history- doesn't make it right, but it speaks to your statement about the treatment of blacks.

They were legally allowed to kill, mutilate, and mercilessly beat slaves, they also permanently separated families as punishment (being "sold down the river"), work them to death etc. They were traded as commodities and treated worse than animals. etc, etc etc.

Best treated in history . There is no "beat treated" regarding slavery, though I suppose a case could be made that some Native groups treated their slaves with a good deal of kindness.
