Kerik, GiulianiAgain I note, this is the man who Rudy Giuliani thought should be entrusted with the safety of every single American citizen as Secretary of Homeland Security.

The city will pay $125,000 to settle a suit by a former Correction Department officer who claimed that disgraced ex-Commissioner Bernard Kerik sidetracked his career because he’s African-American.

Former Deputy Warden Eric Deravin agreed to the payout on the day his federal racial discrimination trial was set to start in Manhattan.

Kerik, recently indicted on federal conspiracy charges, was expected to take the stand to defend himself.

Deravin’s lawyer Gregory Lisi said Deravin had accomplished his goals.

“The major reason why Eric brought this lawsuit was to right the wrongs caused by Kerik’s actions and to bring out the type of person Bernard Kerik was,” Lisi said.
