Skai Jackson is clocking all the trolls who keep talking down on her baby boy, Kasai.
In videos The Shade Room shared from LiveBitez, the actress shut down all the folks calling her son “pale” and “too white.” She quickly cleared things up, schooling everyone that babies don’t show their full color right away.
“Just because a baby is [a] month, two months, even three months… that does not mean the melanin has fully kicked in. Two, some babies are just light-skinned, which is okay!” Jackson said in the clip.
Skai continued by saying “a newborn’s skin color shouldn’t concern anyone.” The new mom called it “the dumbest thing she’s seen.” Furthermore, Jackson said these are the reasons why she refuses to post her son on the internet and “won’t be posting him.” She also mentioned that she usually doesn’t care what people say about her, but she does think it’s mean to talk about a baby.
“I think y’all need to stop making comments about people’s children because it’s not cool at all and y’all wouldn’t like if somebody did it to you!” Jackson added.
Social media users in The Shade Room’s comment section backed up Skai Jackson, with some saying people need to leave her alone.

Instagram user @slimadri_ wrote, “Yall worried about her baby when the department of education just got knocked downwhoa Chile.”
