Do you think people should be judged by their past or their potential?

I believe people should be judged by their potential. Its important to be aware of their past, but they should only be judged by their potential. People change, but keep in mind while people do change, people are crazy now and days. People who show potential as a cover up and then change right after are the dangerous people to look out for. So, yes, we should only judge people by their potential, but also do your homework in case you begin seeing a lot of red flags.
