AceShowbiz - It's not uncommon for public figures to face scrutiny, but when that criticism extends to their children, it often becomes the last straw. Actress Skai Jackson recently found herself in such a situation when internet trolls began criticizing her baby boy, Kasai, for being "pale" and "too white."
In a video posted online, Jackson challenged these detractors, emphasizing that infants do not show their full skin color immediately after birth. "Just because a baby is [a] month, two months, even three months… that does not mean the melanin has fully kicked in," she clarified in the clip.
Jackson also highlighted that a newborn's skin color should be of no concern to others, "Some babies are just light-skinned, which is okay!" She labelled the fixation as "the dumbest thing she's seen."
Moreover, Jackson revealed that this unwarranted commentary is one of the reasons she refrains from posting images of her son on the internet. Unlike many who might shrug off online criticism, Jackson finds the remarks about her baby particularly egregious, calling out the insensitivity of these comments.
"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!" she added, urging a more respectful and considerate approach to how people discuss others online, especially when it comes to children.
Skai Jackson only has one photo of her baby on her Instagram feed. It's a heartwarming image of her hands holding her little ones', with the mother-son duo twinning in green plaid pajamas. She simply wrote the baby's name, Kasai, in the caption.
As Jackson's protective instinct kicked in, she not only defended her child but also made assertive call to action for better online behavior, encouraging people to exercise kindness and think twice before making comments that could cause real harm.
