A 11-year-old Liverpool fan wrote an emotional letter to his teacher describing his experience of racism.
Tré Jones, from County Meath in Ireland, broke hearts when he revealed he'd been called a 'slave boy' and told to 'go back to Africa'.
He said the comments 'really hurt his feelings' and he is worried he will be racially abused for the rest of his life.
Reading out his letter on RTÉ's Liveline, Tré said: "My name is Tré Jones.
"I am 11-years-old. People say I am mixed race but I say that I am black because I know what people see when they look at me.
"I am proud to be black.
"Since I was a baby I have suffered from racism from adults and children who are white.
"I have been called the 'N' word so many times. I have been told to go back to Africa.
"I have been called a chocolate face monkey, I'm burnt and that I'm a slave boy."
He continued: "These things really hurt my feelings and I will hear things like this all my life.
"I wish white people would stop being racist and be kinder to all races."
Tré's mother, Ciara said: "Poor Tré feels like nothing will change, and that he will just have to endure this his whole life.
"There is so much we need to learn, because we will never experience being judged for the colour of our skin."
