Ghana and Fiorentina midfielder Joseph Alfred Duncan has said that he has been a victim of racial abuse as he joins the tall list of players who have called for an end to racism.

The 27-year-old in a post on his page indicated,"I have been a victim in many occasions, Humiliated, insulted and ignored by even the people next to me. I know and I need no reminder that I’m BLACK and I’m more than proud of who and what I am!

"People tend to forget we were made from dust and so shall we all end up. Nobody is born racist so it’s a matter of EDUCATION from parents since it starts from home.

"I will never feel inferior to anybody in any way nor for any reason!!! We are all Human and that’s the race I know. Following a trending black post on social media doesn’t make you a non-racist... I won’t allow anyone abuse me since I don’t abuse anyone so I urge my fellow brothers to be strong because “anybody who tries to bring you down is already BELOW you”.

Hate is a disease that has no cure! I’m human and I love being ME".
