On an Episode of Dr. Phil a young lady of color says that she identifies with being Caucasian. She is really not interested in her own race and is quite disgusted. Miss Treasure says that she thinks and acts like white people, she looks like white people and that she is “completely and utterly better” than Black people. The teen often calls African-American people “hood rats, thuggish, and ghetto,” and even speaks derogatorily

to their face. After trying to determine the reasons for the teen’s behavior, Dr. Phil introduces Spirit, a licensed therapist and life coach (from Atlanta), to weigh in. “We have issues around culture, we have issues around class, we have issues around racial identity, and we have issues around self-esteem,” Spirit says. “It’s not that she hates Black people; it’s that she hates herself, and she wants her old life back.” Watch video below
