NAACP Smacks Down Dr. Phil Over Racist DEI Comments [VIDEO]

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was quick to respond on Sunday after Dr. Phil McGraw made racist comments at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon.

Both McGraw and Mehmet Oz, who lost his MAGA senate bid in Pennsylvania, owe their notoriety to Oprah Winfrey. Winfrey, a staunch Democrat, can't be happy about who the two men have revealed themselves to be. 

McGraw, a TV doctor who has revealed himself to be MAGA, was on stage for Trump's rally yesterday and he attempted to appeal to the people in the crowd by saying, "We didn’t choose the name for that by random... this country was built on hard work, added value and talent. Not on equal outcome, not on DEI, this country was built on hard work."

The NAACP found this statement quite rich, sharing a clip of the comments from McGraw and writing, "This country was absolutely built on hard work Dr. Phil…on the backs of Black, Brown, and lmmigrants from all across this WORLD! Many of which who were forced to do so! SLAVERY. Let us know when you’re ready to tell the WHOLE story."

Author and former White House aide Keith Boykin was even stronger in his reaction, writing, "This country was built on hard work by unpaid Black people who were exploited by rich white guys who took the credit. Meanwhile, Trump inherited $400 million from his KKK daddy and Dr. Phil became famous because a Black woman gave him a platform."
