A Lyft driver who doesn't tolerate any form of bigotry kicked a woman out of his car after she apparently made a comment suggesting her casual racism.

The driver, James W. Bode, posted a dashcam video of his interaction with a female passenger who appeared to express relief at seeing a White driver upon entering his vehicle.


Bode was thrown when the woman told him, "You're like a White guy."

When he was taken aback by her statement, she continued:

"You're like a white guy? You're like a normal guy, like you speak English?"

And just like that, her ride was over before it started.

You can see the clip, below.

Warning: expletives and use of the n-word.

No longer wanting to accommodate her, Bode turned to the woman and said, "Nah, you can get out of the car," adding:

"That's inappropriate. That's completely inappropriate."
"If somebody was not white sitting in this seat, what would be the difference?"

The woman–who Bode identified on Facebook as "Jackie"–said:

"Are you serious?"

Bode then addressed her companion, a male passenger who was about to enter the vehicle, and told him he was refusing their service.

The man responded by calling Bode a "f'king a**hole" and a "piece of sh*t."

He then threatened Bode physically, saying he will "punch him in the f'king face."

Bode casually responded, "It's all on camera, man. You're gonna threaten me? Assault?"

When the stunned woman realized they were refused service, Bode spelled it out for them without mincing words.

He told them, "You guys are racist f'ks."

As if on cue, the man outside the car showed his true colors by using a racial slur.

He then told Bode to "get the f'k out of here."

The internet applauded Bode for taking a stand against casual racism.





The clip ended with Bode rolling down the passenger side window and telling the couple he was going to call the cops.


On his Facebook post, Bode revealed the incident occurred at Fossils Last Stand, on Race Street in Catasauqua–a pub in Pennsylvania, presumably owned by the couple.

"Everyone's gonna know," said Bode, after asking if they were the owners of the establishment.

It appears the bar was subjected to bad reviews online after the clip went viral.

The repercussions from the racist display demonstrated that bigotry will get you nowhere.

Bode said he filed a police report "only because of the assault threat."

He concluded his post with:

"If you make me feel uncomfortable, I will absolutely do the same especially in my car or property."
"Yes they were made aware I was recording, yes I have postings in my car indicating such."


Lyft responded positively to Bode's handling of the unpleasant encounter with the following statement:

"We are incredibly grateful to Lyft driver @Jameswb333 for instantly shutting down this hate & upholding our no tolerance anti-discrimination policies."
"We're looking into these riders & are in touch with James to show our thanks."

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
