A quick question if I'm so ignorant and Canada is no different then the US and were just as racist as a country. Why was their the underground railroad? Why did thousands of slaves flee to Canada? They didn't flee here because we'd treat them just as bad as they were being treated in America. They fled here because they were treated more like equals. Slavery was outlawed in Canada and blacks were treated like equals.

You've just proven that Canada was better to slaves in the 1800's.  Doesn't really prove a thing about the conditions more than 100 years later.  You don't think conditions and racial outlooks have changed since then?  I mean we had the civil war since then.
