Yesterday, the Courier News reported in a
front-page article by Sergio Bichao that the Borough of Somerville settled
a racial discrimination lawsuit for $1.75 million, while not admitting any wrongdoing.
A reading of that article coupled
with a prior story on the same topic back on October 2, 2014, by Mike Deak,
would lead most people to conclude that the alleged racist behaviors by Somerville
personnel inflicted upon three African Americans under their supervision should
have been fixed years ago.
