Two Friends Of Different Races Can’t Stop Roasting Each Other On Twitter, Make People Question If It’s Racism Or Not
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 whether 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 causes and funny jokes 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 racism ‘opinions’ on social media. The two began throwing the best roasts at each other, filled with racial one-liners, but both saw the exchange as lighthearted comedy. Some Twitter users thought the one-line jokes were offensive and crossed the line of humor into racist, while others thought the punchlines showed a healing moment of two strangers bonding through humor. Bored Panda has the whole thread below along with the funny Twitter reactions. What do you think?
These are Twitter users Para and Jamie
Para recently tweeted this
And Jamie decided to respond
The chat quickly escalated into an epic roast battle
They finally ran out of ideas
But it all ended on a good note
Some people were quick to pull out the ‘racist’ card
Para later explained how it all started on Reddit
Most people found the exchange to be funny

Share on FacebookFunny how the first guy was just stating"facts" according to those girls lol just two blokes having a laugh. European humor is dark af. Americans can't handle it.
I'm American and I found it hilarious. I have a dark/sarcastic sense of humor anyway.
Load More Replies...Wow, to me they were having fun at each others expense. How can one be stating facts while the other is being racist? People need to learn how to laugh and stop taking everything so damn seriously. I thought their back and forth was funny.
Plus, the other guy didn't really "just state facts" either. Some people are so... I can't even find the proper adjective.
Load More Replies...The first poster was "fact" and the other was just racist? It's like people think that if you make fun of white people because they're white it's not racist. I don't understand how people think that there is difference. Maybe it just comes down to the fact that the people who responded to that thread had a victim mentality.
the definition of racism does not specify who it can or can't apply to. anyone can be racist and both of them were being racist, but in a humorous way. It was a lighthearted, slightly inappropriate twitter war.
Load More Replies...So two friends can't screw with each other without it being racist? Some people just seek false outrage. Oh, and the term "woke" is stupid. Stop it.
If a POC makes a stereotypical statement about a white person it's as equally bad as a white person making a stereotypical statement about a POC. It isn't right either way, but it's all about context. This convo was people being silly and throwing stereotypes back and forth to be silly. People need to lighten up.
The MAN UNITED dig was the first clue that they were friends. even if not, the end should have tipped them.
I think people read too much into stuff like this, it was just two guys roasting each other. They were trying to make jokes, not offend the other's race.
I thought it was great - just like two middle schoolers doing “yo momma” jokes. Only people who know each other very well and are great friends can do things like this. People are reading way too much into it!
Watch any Mel Brooks film and you'll see the same type of material. If all parties are willing participants, there is no issue, and outsiders have no reason to cry racism.
Notice how Mel hasn't done a Blazing Saddles sequel? He'd get crucified if he tried. I still hope he tries though. I'd go see it.
Load More Replies...Made me smile. That's it. Two intelligent, witty young men. Nothing to discuss.
It was neither given with malice or taken with offense by either party.
I'm from Miami, and you see that kind of joking a lot more there, where everyone is from somewhere else, and you can't tell anyone's ethnicity by their color. It works when the power balance is fairly equal - as in among friends. However, I wouldn't try the same thing with a black friend living in a town full of racist rednecks or if I was a supervisor of a black employee. That would be punching down because the power balance would be different. It also doesn't work if you actually are racist - that's what makes so many racists mad.
I saw a black woman just yesterday at the pool slathered with sunscreen. Her daughter was too. I remember because she hadn't rubbed it in well and it was all over he daughter's face. So yes, yes they do... and should!
Load More Replies...Holy cow this is exactly how veterans talk to eachother at the bar. Then bust up laughing at eachother. This was hilarious.
technically, the content is racist. but were either party offended? people be needing to get themselves some lives of their own to be living, instead of getting antsy about two guys bantering and giving each other a bit of s**t
i love how all dem black folks think the first one was stating facts and the white dude was being racist. Black people wanted to be treated as equals so when we all get joked about they get offended little do they know us joking about all the races is part of what makes us equal.
ngl that was f*****g hilarious. you can so clearly tell they're friends giving each other s**t. i live for inside jokes like this.
Whatever happened to being able to joke around with your friends, regardless of the subject matter? These 2 are clearly friends--they stated as much. Their sense of humor, while some may not like it, is something they apparentlly have dealt with and found their niche with each other! Damn, is nothing sacred between FRIENDS?
OMG, friends s**t post at each other - internet melts. I have no right to tell two consenting adults how to have fun in the bedroom as long as they're both down for it, I also have no right to tell two consenting adults how to conduct a friendship on the same grounds.
I laughed a lot, these guys are amaizing, have the best sense of humour and there is no racism in this s**t. It's about being able to make fun of yourself mostly, and making fun of racists.
Ok but brown people can definitely get skin cancer. Please use sunscreen, you're to beautiful to die from something that's preventable
Everyone needs to take a page out of these two and their hilarious banter. Hopefully all the a******s will die in the next generation, and the rest of us can go on actually loving each other and enjoying random jokes.
So just because he was black he was stating facts, while the other guy is white and is racist. That is what is currently wrong with the United States-- not realizing that everyone can be racist. They were playing on racial stereotypes to make a joke.
I for one and sick and tired of people screaming IT'S RACIST all the time when often it's something silly like these two kids just teasing each other. Sure it may be crude to some but they were just being silly with each other. People have to stop being so delicate about some issues and take it at it's face value. Kids are always going to be sick and gross when it comes to their sense of humor because they are just kids. If you don't like it, move on they were not talking to you.
This isn't racist at all, they're just friends making each other laugh. My mum's black and my brother and I call her a spear chucker or a c**n all the time, she doesn't care at all. We obviously don't mean it maliciously, she's our mum. People really need to stop getting offended on behalf of the people who aren't offended. It seems to only be white people getting their knickers in a twist and immediately jumping to the defence of other races that don't need it.
Very funny! Too many butt hurt people out there looking to get angry at random stuff online
Just two young guys talking sh1t. I was in the Navy for over twenty years and heard a lot of stuff like this. Some of it was hilarious; I wish I could remember some of it.
Not racist. It was mutual. That's how friends talk, they tease each other.
I find it relatable when Jamie gave up when it was mentioned he being lactose intolerant. I am, too.. I mean I am lactose intolerant. It is not funny having this allergy. It's like Superman's kryptonite. I understand Jamie, but he was a bit too hurtful. What I find funny is when they talk about their w*****s. Now I have to reconsider. Hmmmm. 😀
Awesome- that kinda is what tolerance and humor is about. Hats off to both! And yes white people keep your hats on and use sunscreen - we crack a lot sooner. we are crackers!!
Do the SJWs realize that guys joking around in intigrated military units during WW2 and Korea is what led to the civil-rights movement sucess in the 60s?
Racist jokes have their constructive place in t but e world.
Load More Replies...So according to your logic your post offended me so you shouldn't have put it online. How about people stop thinking everything is about them and their own fragile sensibilities. We get it you are a good person but I know it is now necessary that you now let all of the interwebs know how enlightened you are as well.
