Shit happens. I wouldn't penalize him right now, maybe at the time [that the pictures were taken], but right now, he's a grown man. He knows what he's doing. Things in the past should not be affecting you right now. We did some bad things back in the day that we are not proud of. I'm not judging him. I'm black too, but I'm not judging him."
