Fifty years ago a groundbreaking documentary shone a spotlight on to Smethwick, West Midlands, as racial tensions reached boiling point. Two years on from arguably the most racist election campaign in British history, people were continuing to shun their new black and Asian neighbours. Smethwick, in 1966, was a community divided. Landlords would not let their houses to them. Churches closed their doors to well-dressed families, so as not to upset the white congregation.And - as a 1966 BBC documentary showed - even haircuts were off limits as racist barbers refused to let immigrants into their salons.
black people were not allowed to vote (they were allowed to vote in America in 1965 and the right to vote in the UK was 1981)

relationship with black people wasn't illegal but it was very badly looked upon
And now those sorta values are coming back , and this is because is because of brexit. and some political partys are very rascit like UKIP
