James Bode has uploaded the entire exchange to his Facebook page.
A video of a US cab driver asking a couple to get out of their car after a woman made a racist remark is going viral on social media. The man behind the wheels, James Bode, captured the dangerous exchange on his dashboard. The incident took place outside Fossil’s Last Stand bar in Pennsylvania. The couple in question owns the bar.
The clip opens with Mr Bode, a Lyft driver, greeting his passengers. Moments later, we see a woman named Jackie getting into the cab. And, the situation immediately turned on its head. “Wow, you’re like a white man,” said the woman. A shocked Mr. Bode asked, “What is that?” “Excuse me?”
The woman then tries to calm down the fast-paced exchange by laughing and patting the driver’s shoulder. This did not go down well with Mr. Bode. He tells Ms. Jackie to “get out of the car”. “It’s unfair, it’s totally unfair. If there’s no white sitting in this seat, what’s the difference?” He added.
Jackie also confirms if she is serious enough to ask him to leave the cab. Meanwhile, the man accompanying her begins abusing and bullying Mr Bode, who describes him as a racist.
On his Facebook page, Mr Bode uploaded the entire exchange and wrote that he had filed a police report, but he wasn’t sure it would do anything.
a report in the morning callSaid that the woman owner of the bar has closed the website and Facebook page of the bar.

Another said, “James, we love you. What a courage. Thank you for standing up for all of humanity.”
A New Zealand user said that the world needs more people like Mr Bode. “Just saw it in New Zealand. I appreciate your work. The world needs more like you. Well done sir.”
