The human rights will exist for the first few years (kidnap, rape, murder will be forbidden), but then vanish after some time, as the price of the human soul lowers and lowers, a thing that will be abused by the master race who will freely control the slave population, a thing that will lead to the opening of gladiator arenas, prostitution houses, prevertedness and so on..
Slave revolt against the master race is impossible because they (the second generation of slaves) will think that that their enslavement is righteous, and would not know what a free life is and thus never aim to be free.
BTW: @Will it be OK with you if I would make some mind-storming threads, if have some ideas myself.
I am not sure that human rights will collapse so easily - in places where they don't really exist already then naturally they will disintegrate for the slave class. But in 1st world nations there will certainly be rules and standards. Things like gladiator arenas are from a very different culture and I'm not sure how well they would integrate, but we do have UFC and such, and while this is not quite the same as armed men fighting to the death, it isn't much of a stretch.
BTW: Of course you can make mind-storming threads, you are not my slave so do as you please :P But I just don't want too many threads at once, otherwise people will be less willing to post. If you PM me we can discuss ideas to post next week!

Something interesting to note is thus: All the greatest empires in the history of mankind, were built on the backs of slaves....intresting huh?
Why was this? well....
- Recuded labour costs allowed them to build larger/cheaper armies, larger cities, roads/bridges etc
In short: The suffering of the few led to the prosperity of the many
However towards the end of the 18th century, and early 19th century. Governments etc began to think in a NEW way. They suddenly began to realise that as all humans are born equal, we must all live equal. Why did they think this? well, As you all know....."tree hugging sells" if a government preaches equality/prosperity/...FREEDOM...the masses eat it up! they love it! ant get enough of it in fact, as its still prevalent today!
Well actually in the Roman or Egyptian empires for example, there were far more slaves than free citizens. You could say the suffering of many made the lives of the few very nice (one could say this is very similar to modern USA). An entire caste of people bred only to work is a very powerful workforce.

After the machines began to produce our food,build our houses and create the roads,there wasnt all that much utility to slaves...
Well any kind of task could be performed by a slave. From something as simple as operating the machines used to build a house, to maintaining and administrating a server farm.
In ancient Rome for example slaves were teachers and cleaners and farmers and craftmen, often the free citizens were simply mangers to them, who kept the books and made sure everyone did their work.
An entire factory could be run by slaves, even with a slave to manage the factory reporting back to head office. Slaves could be well educated and trained.
