SHAME: Steven Brodie Jr., a black employee, has sued employees and officials of Gloucester Township, alleging they locked him in a cage and taunted by two white co-workers while on the job.
Steven Brodie Jr. says in the suit filed April 4 that officials did nothing when he reported the April 2007 incident and allowed discrimination to continue.
The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill reports the public works employee says he was asked to retrieve some equipment from a storage cage. He says when he went in, a co-worker locked him in and another taunted him, saying: "You throw a banana in there and he goes right in."
A jury last year found one of the workers guilty last year of bias intimidation, harassment and official misconduct. Another worker is awaiting trial on similar charge. Source
Wow and to think some on the right say we are moving to a post-racial America! Here's a prime example of why that argument is hogwash.
