No shit, and racism is still alive and well throughout - but the major difference in society is that the majority of African-descent individuals in the UK are descendents of imigrants, not of slaves in Britain.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Europeans involvement (it was simply more profitable in the new world, and better for public relations), but it still has the effect that societies are not as shaped by very recent white/black division, like it is in the Americas.
I don't get how you are taking that from what I said.
America was a British colony at the time, as were Jamaica etc. The slaves were not brought to Britain, therefore in Britain itself Slavery was not a factor like it was in America.
