Kizzie says he doesn’t remember anything about the photo.

“The best that I can say about myself — other than being an idiot for doing it — is this is not a picture of life at the University of Richmond,” he said. “I never felt pressured, I never felt intimidated. I can’t remember a racial incident that made me feel bad. This is not reflective of my tenure there. This is me being stupid.”

“This was a party where young men were being stupid, not realizing the impact of something like this at this time,” he said.

The University of Richmond’s statement came as several yearbooks from Virginia institutions have come to light for racist content following the public discovery of a racist image on Gov. Ralph Northam’s 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook page last Friday.

Here’s Crutcher’s full statement:

Last night we became aware that a racist yearbook image had been shared on social media. The image that was shared from the yearbook is repulsive to us. Images of this sort, and the behavior and attitudes they represent, are appalling and antithetical to the values of the University today. No one should have to experience the pain caused by such vile images, or evidence of such behavior, either at the time the incident occurs or thereafter.
