• A Belgian television personality who works at GHOne TV has lashed out at a netizen who called out the management of the station for employing her

• Ghanaians have empathized with the presenter and urged her to ignore such comments in the future

Shallie Abbiusi in a series of tweets took time to explain why such a notion connotes racism and should not be encouraged.

“I would like to call out this racist comment I came across under my comments on Instagram for being the face of @GHOneTV show and health walk #CheersHealthWalk I’ve been in and out of Ghana for about 2 years and I love this country. 1/3

I was given this opportunity because I’m up for the task and not because of my skin colour. I don’t tolerate any form of racism as I have been an anti-racism activist since. I’ve been an international pageant queen trying to unite people instead of separating them. 2/3

Let’s put race behind us and support the BlackStars in the coming World Cup. I love Ghana 3/3” she wrote.

For the kind of position you occupy, you should ignore certain comments and negative energy because we believe you want to prove a point which allows Blacks and Whites to live in harmony and that’s why you’re in this peaceful nation Ghana Like I always say LET LOVE LEAD

Looks xenophobic and that's uncouth! Please forgive him, he might probably not be aware of the harm of his statement

@LogoHubGH

You are right and I feel bad reading what you have to go through. Such hatred towards someone trying to Unite that's bad. Going forward I hope a lot of us learn to tolerate others and desist from such an uncouth act. Very bad . Take heart and do what you do best.
