Despite the less than nice words that Janet Hubert had for her and her husband earlier this week over her Oscars boycott, Jada Pinkett Smith is taking the high road and issued a very classy response to the former Fresh Prince of Bel Air actress.

ET cameras caught up with Jada at the airport and quizzed her on her thoughts regarding Janet’s video to her this week. Check out excerpts of Jada’s response and the video below.

Considering that Alabama had its highest recruitment for the KKK for Martin Luther King’s birthday, I hope that we as African-Americans can find a way to get along and step together,” Smith says. According to the New York Daily News, a Ku Klux Klan chapter distributed recruitment flyers to residents in Mobile, Alabama, over the MLK holiday weekend.

“This whole Oscar controversy isn’t really about the Oscars,” she adds. “Really, in my plea to ask all communities and people of color to take back our power is so that we can use it in all sectors of our community, and right now, specifically with African-American people, we have some very serious issues that I think we as a people have to move together on. I’m hoping we can find ways to step together in this instead of finding ways to fight each other. I got love for everybody.”
