Interview: Trayvon's stepmother is asked whether race was a factor in her step-son's killing [View all]

Anderson Cooper interviewed Alicia Stanley on Friday. He asked her this question, among others:

COOPER: Do you believe race was a factor in why Zimmerman zeroed in on Trayvon?

STANLEY: I would be lying if I said yes, so I'm going to say this, no, I really don't think it was Zimmerman don't like black people, or he picked him out because he was black. Did he profile him with the hoodie and stuff like that as this thug or whatever walking or whatever was in Zimmerman's mind, yes. But to say that he targeted him because he was black, no, I don't think so.
