Did Trayvon Martin’s race motivate George Zimmerman’s verdict?

Cenk Uygur talks to panelists Ana Kasparian, Jayar Jackson, and NationBuilder’s Lauren Brown Jarvis about the Zimmerman verdict. One of the women on the jury, anonymously referred to as B37, did an interview with Anderson Cooper in which she referred to Zimmerman as “George” and 17-year-old victim Trayvon Martin as “that boy,” leading many to speculate that racism or prejudice could have motivated the not-guilty verdict.

“I think that we forget that a lot of people, no matter how liberal or how loving they are, don’t often interact with communities of people who don’t look like them,” Jarvis says. “I wasn’t surprised by this verdict at all. This is America, and no matter what you say, everything is inherently racial here.

That’s just how this country was founded.”
