    1. I can’t imagine anybody saying anything mean or racial to Craig Melvin. He is the best thing to happen to The Today Show in a long time. I’m glad they got the guy.

    2. They charged him with things like menacing, and a few other things but charged them under a hate crime. If the guy was going after a white host then it would be just what he was charged with no racial charges. How is that fair? If it had been a black man who was arrested then hate crime wouldn't be mentioned because the suspect would be of the same race. Now for those who don't get much of anything like what privilege really is, this is a good example of who is privileged and who isn't. Stop believing things that make no sense and just go by your own observation and thought process, not what some racist person of color has dreamed up.
