Because we expect this flight to be a long one and with some possible turbulence, we should begin by laying the framework for this examination with several caveats.
First, let us be clear from the start, I do not believe—not for a moment— Ms. Yvette Carnell and Mr. Antoinio Moore are Russian bots.
The first time I heard it, I said it was ridiculous and the beginning of a calculated smear campaign. Having said that, as many of us do not know them (Carnell and Moore) personally, obviously we cannot be 100% sure of who they are just like others cannot be 100% sure who I am and who you are and the rest of those who engage in this 21st century communication phenomena known as "social media." Here, I believe we can rely on our instincts and intuition. But I would put some money on the table to say calling Ms. Carnell and Mr. Moore “Russian bots” is not true. In fact, it can be suspected that these unfounded allegations against them may have the fingerprints of motivated opponents in the form of Democratic operatives who are initiating a preemptive first strike, one might say, against the possible emerging of a new challenger—another elitist challenger-- vying for the consciousness of the black polity. More specifically, that segment of the black polity which, unfortunately, embraces the illusion that true liberation (including reparations) will be materialized at the direction of an American politician.
But signing onto the fact that Carnell and Moore are not Russian bots shouldn’t make the adherents of the ADOS party comfortable.
