Each generation has or will experience events that cause division among us, perhaps it is human nature. As individuals we decide how we choose to navigate our differences wether it is politics, gender, nationality or race. Social media has provided a platform for people to voice their thoughts and opinions on that which divides us. This can lead to hateful rhetoric, but when social media is used for good it can bring us together in the best ways.

Twitter users @TheParacelsus and @jmemc10 went viral when they chose to go a different route with their ‘opinions’ on social media. The two began roasting each other with racial jokes, but both saw the exchange as lighthearted comedy. Some Twitter users thought the Tweets were offensive and crossed the line of humor into racist, while others thought it showed a healing moment of two strangers bonding through humor. Bored Panda has the whole thread below along with reactions. What do you think?
