OHTV REAL TALK – WHO DOES THE BLACK COMMUNITY LOOK UP TO AS THEIR ROLE MODELS?

Check out OHTV’s new debate show Real Talk. Guests on the panel are Michael Peters… it’s good to finally put a face to a Twitter account. Earlier this year I clashed with him on Twitter over some Obama/ the death of Osama Bin Laden tweets. Up he popped telling me what I should and should not tweet, like he was head of Obama’s legal team. I bet if I had been a man he wouldn’t have attempted to ‘tweet’ orders at me. I swear people lose their minds on Twitter. Hahahahaha. But []
