Dr. Phil: Kanye 'Has Empowered White Supremacists'

Speaking with TMZ Wednesday, TV host Dr. Phil said he guarantees Kanye West “has empowered white supremacists” and “has empowered hate groups” with his recent controversial comments.

Giving his opinion on Kanye West’s comments on slavery, Dr. Phil said, “It does show a lack of impulse control, it shows what I would refer to as dysregulated thought. He doesn’t have a filter here. The things that he’s saying are irresponsible and ignorant.”

He continued, saying, “Either this is attention-getting behavior because he’s got an album coming out or he wants to sell shoes, he’s wanting attention. Or he really has a problem pumping the break here mentally and emotionally.”

Touching on Kanye’s large platform and massive influence, Dr. Phil warned, “I’ll guarantee you he has empowered white supremacists, he has empowered hate groups with the things he saying here.”
