A former Leeds postman has lifted the lid on the disgusting racial abuse and threats of physical violence he received while on the job.
Troy Ricketts, 35, who grew up in Roundhay after moving from Jamaica, was regularly called a “black b******” and was asked to get in "fights". After six months of worrying he’d be attacked, Troy had enough of the racial abuse and hung up the red uniform for the final time in April.
The torment he "suffered" made him accelerate his dreams of opening his own Jamaican takeaway. He now runs Mama Cyndy's Authentic Jamaican Food in Chapeltown Road, Chapeltown.
