Over the past week, racial tensions in the U.S. have been flaring since protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, turned violent as white supremacists hit the streets. In light of the disheartening events that have unfolded, many people, including celebrities, have taken to social media seeking a resolution. Lady Gaga is the latest entertainer to use her platform to address the country's current climate.

Lady Gaga assumingly posed the question with good intention in an effort to educate herself as well as others, but some Twitter users weren't so open to offering words of wisdom.

While others were more than willing to share advice on how to make a positive change:
