1:11Now Playing“Today” show host Craig Melvin said that Will Smith’s Oscar punch aided “this long-held perception… that men of color can’t control their rage and anger.”
Melvin has talked openly about raising his biracial children as a black father and called the Best Actor winner’s actions “really disappointing.”
The 42-year-old host has two children, son Delano, 8, and daughter Sybil, 5, with his white sports anchor wife Lindsay Czarniak.
He said on air Monday morning: “It was really disappointing.”
“If you’re rearing a boy, especially in this country, you spend so much time talking to our kids about keeping your hands to yourself, controlling your emotions and then there’s also this long-held perception in this country that man of color, especially, can’t control their rage and their anger and to see someone who’s been that beloved for decades – it was troubling on so many levels,” he added.
