MSNBC’s Ed Schultz said that President Obama may have refrained from going on the attack in the first presidential debate Wednesday night because he didn’t want to appear to be an ‘angry black man.’

“It was very frustrating to watch a guy lie to the American people and not be counterpunched because we are afraid he’s going to be called an angry black man,” Schultz said.
