Skai Jackson has just crowned herself the “queen of exposing racists” and we are SO here for it!
The 18-year-old former Disney star has been trending on Twitter ever since she announced her plan to put bigoted teens on blast earlier this week. With the support of thousands of followers, the starlet has managed to really pull back the curtain on some truly disgusting online behavior and force those in positions of power to take action.

It all started on Wednesday when Jackson told her followers to come forward with receipts, including DMs, text messages, screenshots, and video clips, so she could amplify them on her platform:
If you know a racist, don’t be shy! Tweet me the receipts ????

If you know a racist and would like to expose them, dm me on Instagram and give me all videos/ screenshots , Instagram and what school they go to. I might not answer but I do see it and will expose

In another tweet, she explained that in the light of the ongoing movement against racial inequality and police brutality, anyone caught engaging in racist and hateful behavior IRL or online would be exposed.
It didn’t take long for the actress’ timeline was flooded with proof of racist behavior from white teens, far and wide. (Gross!)
Skai kept her word because not only did she reshare some of the shocking responses, she also posted several screenshots that were sent to her, many of which included the perpetrators’ names, high schools, cities, social media handles, and, in some cases, phone numbers. We won’t give those idiots another platform by reposting the hateful messages here, but some of the offensive posts included criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement, flagrant use of the n-word, and horrible clips mocking the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
At one point, though, there were a few hiccups in the public outing spree. When users identified “the wrong Dylan,” Jackson asked her followers to use even more caution when sending her receipts:

If you are sending me anyone’s username PLEASE make sure you have it 100% correct. It’s not cool to blame someone for something they didn’t do

It definitely would suck to be inaccurately accused of something like this, so, fair point! She also received a bit of criticism for the call outs, with some calling her a bully and dangerous for potentially putting the offenders’ safety at risk.
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

But thanks to her hard work, a student at Texas Christian University will likely face consequences for posting a photo where she’s engaging in blackface, an athlete at Weber State University has been reported “to the appropriate offices on campus,” and many more institutions are making good use of the information brought to light.
Job well done, gurl!
There simply is no room for racism and bigotry with where this country is headed. So, as Skai so expertly demonstrated, get with it or get exposed!!
Do U think there was anything wrong with her approach?? Let us know (below) in the comments!
