Skai Jackson is using her platform for good.
"Honestly, I didn't know who he was, but a lot of my fans were sending me his tweets and I just noticed that he was verified," she recalled. "What he was saying... was just utterly disgusting. So, verified or not? I'm gonna say what I have to say and I mean, he got fired. That sucks, but he's grown. He's old enough to know that those things that you say, those homophobic slurs, those racists slurs, are just not OK. They're not OK, period.
"I don't feel like someone who says these things shouldn't be allowed to go to college, but I feel like maybe you should just do online," she explained."If you're gonna be going to a college that's mainly black and you've said these things? I don't think it's OK to put those people in a uncomfortable situation."
"A lot of the people have written public apologies, which is really nice, but I just really hope that they're not just saying this so people can get off of their butt," she said. "I really hope that they learn from this and educate themselves, because everyone does make mistakes, but it's up to you to learn from them and move them forward."
