Skai Jackson says she will expose racists ‘all day, 24/7’, fans warn teens that she’s coming for them
More and more celebrities are taking a stand and fighting against racism after the death of George Floyd, who was killed by former cop Derek Chauvin. Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck until a point the latter pleaded the police officer to let him go as he couldn’t breathe. However, despite trying hard until his last breath, Floyd ended up becoming yet another victim of police brutality.
Similar to Floyd, many from the black community have been ill-treated for years and continue to be subjected to racism on a daily basis. Joining many celebrities who are speaking up against racism is none other than the 18-year-old actress Skai Jackson. However, unlike others, Jackson is spending nearly every minute of her day and night “exposing racists” through Twitter.
Having changed her Twitter handle to “queen of exposing racist” with a description that reads “Actress. Author. Racist exposer”, the young actress has been sharing details of racist encounters and even naming the ones involved in them publicly, thus urging the authorities to take necessary actions against them.
The ‘Jessie’ star’s Twitter is flooded with names of students and schools they go to along with screenshots of conversations filled with racial slurs and other sensitive information used to expose them. She has even received responses from the other end, where the schools or other institutions have promised to punish those who have looked down upon the members of the black community.
On June 5, Jackson tweeted, “I expose racist all day, every day, 24/7, 10 days a week, and opened all hours”. Her act has garnered her a lot of love from fans. Besides drawing inspiration, they are also praising her for her passion for the Black Lives Matter movement.
While one wrote, ”@skaijackson is exposing some racists teenagers lives. And I'm absolutely loving it.” Another added, “If anybody got something racist to say I’m sending you to Skai Jackson”.
“Skai Jackson is coming for all you miami b***hes too, getting what you deserve,” said one fan. “Queen @skaijackson giving me a new set of racists to report to their jobs and schools tonight. Pop in and thank her for doing what needs to be done,” added another.
Jackson isn’t sparing anyone. Apart from the names and other details, the actress has even exposed the addresses of a few in her tweets, while calling them out for their past actions.
However, after many internet users questioned her about risking the lives of few by giving away sensitive details including their address, she tweeted, "Also, please don’t send me anyone’s address. I won’t be posting that.. these people have said horrible things but posting someone’s address is going a little too far. Let’s hope they all live, and learn from this situation and educate themselves".
