Keli Goff Asks: Is Subtle Racism Worse Than the Overt?

Loop 21 columnist dons hoodie in support of Martin

Loop 21 Columnist Keli Goff spoke about the Trayvon Martin case for her Keli's Comment segment on MSNBC today.

Goff, who wrote a piece last year titled "Is Racism Worst in the Age of Obama?," spoke about racial profiling in America in the segment while wearing a hoodie in support of Trayvon Martin.

She recounted the countless incidents when she has been racially profiled entering a department store; and also mentioned how many celebrities, such as Oprah Winfrey and Condoleezza Rice, have gone through the same. Goff explained how racial profiling towards African Americans affects all — both rich and poor.

"Walking into the wrong store while being the wrong color is what walking down the street wearing a hoodie is to black men," she said powerfully.
