the only problem, this is not trayvon martin.rtist and actor the game. not only had trayvon martin just turned 17 when he was shot and killed, the only tattoos on his body as revealed bit medical examiner were on his right arm and left wrist. needless to say, instead of ledding jesus take the wheel, i let the reader have it. one would have thought that that was that. then the read r responded with this. the photo was sent from someone who i believe is a trustworthy source. if that photo is not of trayvon martin, i apologize. if? seriously? this is a term for the assumption this reader made about trayvon martin without even checking to see if that picture was an accurate representation. it is the insidious thing called implicit bias. implicit bias referres to the attitudes that affect our understanding and decisions in an unconscious manner. those attitudes force us to have feelings about other people because of their race, ethnicity, age, even appearance. that's exactly what this new report found. that an african-american boy can

trayvon martin had nothing to do with those burglars. failed to rise and say this is an outrageous, unfair comparison. >> one of the remaining questions i have, i know there will be another step in this case, why were letters not introduced? >> initially the judge said they were not relevant. once the defense brought in character evidence, witnesses to say that michael dunn was gentle and peaceful, the prosecution should have applied against to get those letters in and they should have come in. why did they not do that? i think they're as uncomfortable about talking about race as most persons. this is a murder trial, it isn't a tea party. you have to put this many right between the eyes and be aggressive. >> i want to talk about something that you talk about in the book, fascination versus fear. and you write about the fact that there is this history in this country of some very brutal white serial killers. you write ted kaczynski, jeffrey dahmer, dennis raider, though each of these striking again and again in towns and cities across the

to make sure that trayvon martin is able to build that arp for trayvon martin. >> what potential? as exciting as it is, a hackathon is short lived. it will take a lot of coding and programs like "the hidden genius project" to really change the game. >> i live in south vallejo so i had's get hetto every day. >> i think we can thank the world with this. >> that was kqed reporting. joining me for a look at other news we're tracking is scott schafer. hi, scott. >> hi. >> jer ray brown filed papers to run for re-election. no surprise. what kind of race do you think he'll have between now and november? >> he's in great shape. he has $17 million in the bank and he's running against two relatively unknown republican opponents who don't have money or name i.d. he's presiding over a recovering economy and a balanced budget. well known and his poll numbers are good and it would seem that jerry brown is going to cruise to re-election come november but it doesn't always work that way in terms of conventional wisdom playing out. >> what are some of the things that could trip him up? it seems li

. >> when trayvon martin was shot i said this could have had my son.another way of saying that is trayvon martÍn could've been me 35 years ago. and when you think about why in the african-american ud at least, there's a lot of pain around what happened here. i think it is important to recognize the african-american community is looking at this issue to reset of experiences and a history that doesn't go away. >> we have to keep in mind that trayvon martin doesn't become an issue if community organizations don't make it a campaign. so we don't need to know it as problematic as the verdict was, this does not even become an international tour if people from the grassroots, from the bottom on twitter and facebook and flickr in mr. graham in front of courthouses make that an issue. that is not something initiated from montana. that came from the bottom. so we know this kind of -- we can point to moments where this kind of grassroot action matters. if we think about trayvon martin, his death wasn't indicated. yes and no. because cynthia were a trayvon martin

that relationship between your family and trayvon martin's family has become quite tight. you are in a relationship that none of us can identify. >> it is very, very strong. when my son heard about trayvon he sympathized with the family and said dad, that kid is 17 and he looks like me. that is what he said to me. and my son had a brown hoodie. he went in his room and put on the brown hoodie. and he turned to me and said, take this picture dad. i took a picture of him with the brown hoodie. i said you do look like trayvon. and he is tall and thin like trayvon. he said it could have been me dad. and months later it was him. >> and this brings you together with that family. trayvon's family, his father contacted me after my son was killed and he said i just -- i hate to have to welcome you to the club that nobody wants to be a member. and we talked for about 20 minutes. he talked about trayvon and we talked about jordan that we would city and be together forever and our kids would be forever linked together. i talked to sabrina also. throughout the whole trial that they had,

way like michael dunn getting out of his car to confront the young man or for zimmerman chasing trayvon martin more trayvons and more jordan, and we've seen another marisa alexander. >>> couldn't marisa alexander use that, though, to her advantage? this was allegedly an abusive husband, she shoots a warning shot at him, does not hit him, and i'm getting the perspective and the way you feel about the stand your ground law, but as i understand it, it is not part of her defense. >> well, you know, it's interesting you say that, because we have the national organization of women president joining us with reverend al and a lot of other people at the rally. we do see this was a domestic violence/abusive husband situation, and she had the guts -- but she doesn't kill them. that's what people are troubled by. she doesn't kill anybody, but yet she's facing 60 years. george zimmerman shoots trayvon martin in the heart and he's scot-free. so people in society are saying there's something wrong with this law. >> where do you think the florida legislature stands on stand your ground? do you have any prospe

to mark the two years since trayvon martin's death, msnbc.com, traf von lee decided to shine his own , florida, the town where trayvon was killed. we have juan cartinega, and hollywood actor breyon bein who's the author of rethinking race in the prisons of america. you've kbeen doing this reporting. tell us what you found. >> two years later, golds borrow, is still reeling not just from the spotlight shown down on it after the trayvon martin killing in the case, but they've been reeling from centuries of economic oppression, social oppression. so while the community is still galvanizing after the cameras have gone, after national spotlight has gone, they're still struggling in so many ways. i think that's indicative of the kinds of issues that brought this entire thing to light. once trayvon martin was killed, they were the first ones to protest. when we came down and started talking to people in the community layer after layer saying there have been issues with the police, with employment, with incarceration and over zealous policing in the community, so they say. >> michael, you wer

he didn't say the name trayvon martin, jordan davis, or marissa alexander.se issues deserve the attention of the state's governor? >> well, our governor has been writing letters to the president about venezuela and about things outside of state of florida, but he has neglected to mention floridians that are dying. he has neglected to mention that this is a topic around the nation about his state. and i was very disappointed as i sat there listening to the state of the state that here is a major topic. here is something that people are talking about around the nation about his state, and he didn't bother to mention or at least give condolences to the families that are out there suffering. the florida families that are suffering, he has neglected to mention, give condolences, or anything. and so i was disappointed in his lack of leadership and compassion when it comes to floridians. >> and we're not saying, goldie, that he ought to take a position on the case. >> sure. >> rally on monday, are not taking positions on the case. it's about concerns about the law

hard to believe but it's been two years since zimmerman killed trayvon martin.lorida's stand your grounder law became national news. right now in tallahassee trayvon martin's parents as well as jordan davis another armed teenager who was shot to death are uniting to march and rally against the law. also there nicole olson the widow shot and killed by a police captain at a movie theater. welcome, gentlemen. >> good morning, carol. >> first question, the florida legislature has no intentions of tweaking stand your ground and nra back bill expanding self-defense statute failed through a house committee. joey will this latest rally really make a difference? >> you know, carol, you would certainly hope so but to your point i think there's large public support in florida for your stand your ground law. in fact they did a poll that suggested 60% of floridians did, in fact, favor the law and only 34% that opposed it. in addition to that, carol, as you know, the governor appointed a task force a couple of years ago which came out with its recommendations last year as a 1

yes, trayvon martin and jordan davis' family was there.a white male who was texting to his baby sitter in the movie theater that got in an argument with an ex-law enforcement office whole killed him and is using stand your ground. it has become an issue across the board. and i think you're seeing we're now here today joining us, national action network, other groups that you will see, a broad cross section of groups that will have the same balance against it that the nra and alec has had for it. i think that this is where we wanted to show and krytalize the issue today. it's not about a case. it's about a law. otherwise, we're going to keep having these cases. >> rev, obviously as you said you have a broad coalition of groups. is that what it's going to table to deracialize this issue. a lot of people only attach this to trayvon martin and jordan. but there are different people getting off on stand your grounds defense. >> that's exactly right. and as congresswoman brown said today at the rally, we don't shy away from there is a raiscial a

. >> when trayvon martin was first shot, i said that this could have been my son. another way of saying that is that trayvon martin could have been me. 35 years ago. and and when you think about why in the african-american community at least there's a lot of pain around what happened here, i think it's important to recognize that the african-american community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn't go away. enter we have to keep in mind that ray von martin does not -- trayvon martin does not even become an issue if black twitter, if community organizations don't make it a campaign. of so we don't even know it as problematic as that verdict was, we don't even have -- this does not even become an international story if people from the grassroots, from the bottom and on twitter and facebook and flicker and instagram rallying in front of courthouses make that an issue, that was not initiated from on top. that came from the bottom, right? so we know that this kind of grass -- i mean, we can point to moments where this kind of gr

why not open up the trayvon martin case and deal with that? if we're going to deal with issues, let's deal with a lot of issues we have in san francisco. this is a small issue. we all make mistakes. we bounce back, we do the right thing and we move forward. we live and we build and we move on. but this right here is ridiculous. but i want to say to you guys is this. ask yourself if it was you, would you guys be going through the same situation juliet is going through? honestly ask yourself that.

[speaker not understood]. i'm a black gay, positive med, use medical marijuana. not crack addicted and this city has a lot going on. so, african-american people, we are really -- we're not getting the service. we're not getting attention. knowing that this lady is working out in bayview where it's 500, $100 million homes being built, when you're trying to take the project monday and i build those homes out there, knowing th

best approaches, is to make sure that trayvon martin is able to build that app for trayvon martin. >> reporter: as exciting as it is, a hack-a-thon is short- lived. it'll take a lot of coding, and programs like the hidden genius project, to really change the game. >> i live in south vallejo and its ghetto everyday. a lot of people stand outside, and i chose to code and come to hidden genius because i wanted to get away from that. with this app, we can make better decisions and maybe in the future i think we can change the world with this game. ( applause ) >> ifill: again, the major developments of the day. russian president vladimir putin played down tensions with ukraine, but also said he reserves the right to use force to defend ethnic russians. and president obama rolled out a nearly $4 trillion budget. republicans said it was a non- starter. >> woodruff: on the newshour online right now, we mark fat tuesday with the history of one of the most infamous tourist rituals at mardi gras in new orleans. and find all of our vice week reporting, from the science of sloth to betting with b

world -- we talked about police violence, racist violence and we think about street violence, trayvon martin so forth, and that is absolutely important to recognize, but at the same time, the violence that happens in withionships is connected that street violence, institutional violence, and intimate violence. when one looks at women situation, it is essential to grasp the connection, which then allows us to have a different institution that is responsible for the incarceration of so many men and especially black and latino men. move into this international women's day, what gives you most hope? >> i think -- i always find hope in struggle. i find hope in younger generations. >> do you feel people have been demobilized under president obama or are getting more active? >> i think we could have been much more active. and one of the problems i think was that after this world historical election that took place, we went home and decided that this one man in washington would carry the ball for us, not recognizing that, actually, he was the president of the imperialist militarist united states of

you spent a lot of time in florida since the trayvon martin killing.t's your response to the florida legislature's moves? >> well, i think that it is a very cynical move because what they are doing is using marissa alexander's case, which many of us feel is an egregious case, but they're using it to continue to use the fact that people can fire weapons, can have guns, and it's an unusual alliance of the nra and some members of the legislature. let's not forget, chris, when governor jeb bush who was then-governor in 2005 when the stand your ground law was signed by him, standing behind him was a representative of the nra. this, in many of our opinions that want to see self-defense laws changed or repealed is a shrewd way of trying to act like you're doing something because of one case but in effect not changing the basic problem and that is guns and shoot first and ask questions later and just throwing in a little caveat saying, oh, do a warning shot first but then the rest of it is the same and that is unacceptable. >> one of parts of the legislation t

who's more to blame for trayvon martin's death?ulture that exists in this country, the culture that we celebrate, or is it just george zimmerman? >> i think there's a big difference between keeping a gun in your home for self-defense and walking around with a concealed loaded weapon when you're going to target. that's what george zimmerman did. when you add to that this is someone who had a history of shoving a police officer, having a woman getting a restraining order against him, he got one against her, this is not somebody who should have been walking around with a loaded weapon. after this case, sanford, florida, passed a law that neighborhood watch guys can no longer walk around with loaded weapo weapons. that's not safe. that's why we have the highest rate of gun violence in the developed world. >> people seem to be buying the book. but this is what "the l.a. times" said about it. at its best "suspicion nation" is a thorough e visration of the amateurish job done by the florida prosecutors who tried zimmerman. at its worst, i
