Skai Jackson Is Helping Expose Racist Teens on Twitter
Skai Jackson has crowned herself the "queen of exposing racists."
The 18-year-old Disney star found herself trending on Friday after she announced her mission to put bigoted teens on blast. Jackson called on her followers to contact her via DM and send videos, screenshots, and any other receipts of their classmates' racist behavior.
"I expose racist all day, everyday, 24/7 , 10 days a week, and opened all hours," she tweeted.
If you know a racist, don’t be shy! Tweet me the receipts 🧾— Skai Jackson (@skaijackson) June 4, 2020

It didn't take long before Jackson's Twitter timeline was flooded with receipts of racist social media posts by white teens. Not only did she retweet some of the responses, she also posted a number of screenshots that were sent to her, along with the perpetrators' names, high schools, cities, social media handles, and, in some cases, phone numbers. The offensive posts included everything from criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement to mocking the recent police killing of George Floyd to the casual use of the n-word.

Jackson's mission to expose racists has, of course, drawn criticism, with many accusing the actress of bullying and putting minors' lives in danger. She responded to this allegation by insisting the teens brought the backlash on themselves.
The criticism, however, was overshadowed by a flood of positive reactions commending Jackson for holding these teen's accountable.So being RACIST isn’t bullying ?? If you feel comfortable to publicly say racist things, then be okay with PUBLICLY getting exposed.. goodbye 😂 pic.twitter.com/AiaKbl8wWM— Skai Jackson (@skaijackson) June 5, 2020
