. >> schieffer: let me bring in michael of georgetown university, biographer of martin luther king, junior, was this about race? >> absolutely. from the very beginning. it was racial motivation it appears of george zimmerman when he said "these people get away" "they always get away" we don't have to be einstein to deduce from that particular assertion of his that he -- cause that he made that he referred to that he's got a fear of and suspicion of african american youth. it was also involved in the construction of the jury. we know that there were no people of color as far as we can tell no black people on that jury. and while not indicting the jury themselves they are reflection of the broader society's inability to empathize and imagine what it means to be trayvon's parents and trayvon, under assault, going home and you are assaulted by marauding person who obviously is motivated by some sense of prejudice and bias toward african-american men. and in denial of ability to use racial profiling as a term within the courtroom and refusal of the prosecution to pursue the racial consequences
