He says he is in therapy now to find out why he said that. He's trying to make amends, change, etc.
I think Dr. Phil changed my mind about Mel last night. You know, at least he's taking responsibility, etc.
I think he is an anti semite though. It's hard to ignore your parent's opinions when you are growing up, hard to not internalize them.
The question I guess now is whether he really is trying not to be, like he says.
