For all the strides society has made, racial injustice sadly remains a very real reality.
A fact made oh so apparent to a Black taxi driver in Dublin, Ireland this week.
Because what started as a standard pick-up turned into an all-out racist assault.
The shocking video after the jump…
Per the footage, mid-journey the passenger turns to the driver (known only as Sam) and asks: “What’s your favourite position?”
Puzzled, he replied that he doesn’t understand. Things then took a turn for the worse when the enraged passenger branded him a n***er.
Claiming he was a police officer, the ill-willed attacker then attempted to physically strike the driver. Repeatedly.
Thankfully, Sam was able to fend off much of the violence, but was understandably rattled as he drove away. He reported the incident to authorities the next day.
According to The Irish Times, the passenger later presented himself at a police station, where he gave a statement. He was not arrested and it’s not immediately clear whether the footage above had been seen by investigators at the time. Nor is it known what – if any – ramifications there have been now the clip has gone viral.
Nigerian-born Sam, however, is adamant that justice be served.
He said:
“I could be dead. Something terrible could have happened on that night. I have children, I have a wife. What would be there fate?”
As for how he kept his cool, he says he followed his faith and was also trying to be safe:
“I think I just followed the example of Jesus Christ, that is exactly what comes to my mind, I tried to be calm.
All along I was ignoring whatever he says but when he held the steering wheel I cannot allow him to take control… that would be a serious accident.”
He noted that he had experienced verbal abuse on a number of prior occasions.
As he a cop they do nothing they dnt arrest him
Damn how i hate cop
I will.never allow one of my children to married a cop i will.never give my conscent
They are evil.i regret the time they was killed
I’m sure you can tell by the lack of comments for this post that your audience is only pleased with derogative provocative and celebrity bashing headlines. This is horrible to have happened. I’m a Lyft and Uber driver and I don’t care if your a women man or child im always aware of someone’s mood and how they are acting. And i grt very strange questions asked all the time where im like oooookayyy
Shut it. This is a music blog. People don’t come on here immediately when articles are posted. I don’t know how old this article is but I just read it today! Now, I watched the video and I think the white passenger is disgusting. He assumed the black taxi driver is gay like he is and when the taxi driver expressed he was not gay (indirectly) he lashed out a physical and verbal attack worthy of prison time for assault and terrorism! Black gay men that exclusively chase after white gays should watch this and learn that deep down those demons are evil racists who just want to use u for s*** but have zero respect for u.
Disgusting
This would never happen in NYC. i woulda snuffed that racist pos in the name of Jesus Christ. Lawd the composure is real ?
This has happened in NYC. This happens all over no matter how liberal a town, city or state is things like this happen everywhere. This unfortunately is the world we live in. God bless this guy I’m happy he is alive and sad they haven’t done anything to the person who did this to him. There really isn’t any room for racism in the world we live in or for violence for that matter. We all breathe the same air and bleed the same color. I wish one day we can find unity and love for one another regardless of race s** creed sexual orientation etc.
Umm where and when has this happened in New York?? I’m talking a whole racist shouting and wildin out against a black driver and getting away scot free. This ain’t Ireland. We don’t play like that here…he would knocked tf out period.
Don’t be nieve. Sh|t happens all the time in Coney Island. Them Russians be calling y’all all kind of names in English and Russian and ain’t sh|t u can do about it. There is also undercover racism in nyc in reverse by taxi drivers against black customers.
Thanks goodness for Uber and lyft. Now u can pick and choose who is ur driver and vice versa easier.
Remember everyone is not going to react violently like you. Adults handle situations differently. If a wild animal like that white demon were to attack you u really don’t know what weapons it has on him if you try to knock him to out. He could shoot you with a gun or spit on you with his toxic disease filled saliva. Personally, I would pull over and get out the cab and call the cops. Something about calling 911 makes toxic demons get to running and that way you remain safe.
Also, let’s talk about passenger vs passenger on nyc trains.

That white trash probably just want some B**. Since he asked the driver what’s his favorite position? He wants him to top him doggy style
I agree. That monster felt entitled to have his way with that black taxi driver
Seriously is there some supernatural reason for why white people have a deep hatred for blacks? This s*** is not normal its like embedded in their DNA to hate us. What the hell kinds of s*** is this. How we snuffed out by what us essential a weaker version if us is ridiculous.

So sad, the Innocent man didn’t wrong him in now way.. I guess him being black is enough to warrant this behavior. so so sad.
