Was President Obama less forceful in the debates to avoid being seen as an ‘angry black man’?

Professor Tricia Rose joins Cenk Uygur, Michael Shure, Jayar Jackson and Ana Kasparian to discuss how much avoiding the “angry black man” label factored into the way President Obama engaged Mitt Romney during the Denver debate. Cenk asks, “Is that a legitimate possibility?” Rose says, “It’s more than a possibility. There’s not an ice cube’s chance in hell that both sides have not been acutely aware of the mountains of scholarly evidence that black men are perceived as a threat before they speak.”
