Striker Mark McCammon, 33, felt the management and chairman at League Two side Gillingham acted differently after he queried the payment of his wages.
He claims he was victimised because of the colour of his skin and was treated differently from white players.
"It was traumatising to be at Gillingham Football Club," he said.
"I have been through hell at this club," he told the tribunal in Ashford.
Mr McCammon claimed in his witness statement that he was ordered to come into the ground amid "treacherous" snowy driving conditions, while some white players were told they were not required.
He has also alleged that the club tried to "frustrate him out" by refusing to pay private medical bills to help him regain his fitness following injury.
The former Charlton, Swindon, Millwall and Brighton player said that in contrast, a white team-mate had been flown to Dubai for treatment at the club's expense.
