Hes just a decent man. A man with morals. Good job sir. Hate has no place here.

That young lady is missing the point. You don't "keep your thoughts to yourself." When you're hating other people because of the color of their skin, you need to change your damned thoughts. That's on you.

[giovannitrumando]

I still do not understand why some stupid people call being rude and nasty to others "freedom of speech". Kudos for the Lyft driver

[macywood]

Kudos to the Lyft driver . God bless him and it’s his car and he did what was right.

[andrewong]

That first girl “you can be racist but keep it to yourself. It makes people uncomfortable.” 🤦‍♂️

[rockandrollstar]

Shout out to the driver 👍the couple really showed there true colors toward the end

[amircruz]

Inappropriate remark indeed. This lyft driver stood up against the scourge of ignorance. Racism is ignorance. Hate is ignorance. Unfortunately, the dangerous part is there so many ignorant people out there and it is a relief to know that there are still a few out there to stand up against the dim witted and wanton mentality. Godspeed champ.

Of course no charges will be filed. However we can file our own charges on that racist couple by not supporting their business!

[carabiner]

Good for him, standing up for what he believes in. I wouldn't want to drive racists around; life is too short to support hate in any way.

[yingnyang]

When human decency warrants a news story you know we have hit rock bottom.

[mikechevalier]

I just want to be one of the people saying good on this guy for standing up to that garbage.

[margaritahussain]

A really great guy, deserves everything the public is doing for him, this a much more

[jayprettyboi]

As a white man. I HATE racism and racist ppl. Would’ve done the same thing. It’s time to start making accountability and calling out and making racist ppl uncomfortable especially in our own race. Only a racist will make any excuse for this couple. “Freedom of Speech” my ass.

[burnyizland]

Love how the blonde racist they interviewed tried to make it out to be a difference of opinion. This shouldn't get a pass either. If your 'opinion' is that some people are worth less because of their ancestry that's not the kind of thing we can just agree to disagree on.

[bockChoi]

She did what THEY all do, she tested his racism and quickly retreated when she realized "oh he's not one of us" patting him on his shoulder and shit! Her husband was so quick to throw out the n word! Somebody get this man an award!! 🏆🏆I'm so proud of him!

Jackie Harford is the racist owner of Fossil's Last Stand, a bar in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. 
Boycott Fossil as though it was the plague.

[WafflezDay]

Sad that being anti-racist is seen as so special and news worthy when it should just be the norm.

[rubcan]

What a fine man. We need more people like him 💪💪🔥

[ImNotaRussianBot]

We need to know their names. I want people to know the faces of racists.

[PadillaLinda]

Little girl 🤣 everyone has their own opinion. Nah foh ya just pure ignorant ! Much respect for the driver. We live in a world full of ignorance
