First of all, Agnes Heep is from Delaware. You can learn this by right-clicking on her name where she's posted up; that will take you to her "about" page, or profile page. You haven't done one yet, I see, since this is your second day and all, but it's easy to do.
Second, you'll have read the article and seen that it's another complaint about Confederalia, and part of the NAACP's and the Eastern clerisy's drive to digest the South by homogenizing it, to which end they earnestly desire the complete suppression of symbols and tokens of Southern separateness. Northerners already discriminate, e.g., against Southerners who retain their accents -- notice, for example, how certain Southern hand-lickers who want to get ahead have abandoned their speechways and loudly embraced Northern "values": Dan Rather, Diane Sawyer, Tom Lehrer, and Julia Roberts (from Smyrna, Georgia) all leap to mind. Tom Wicker of The New York Slimes kept his accent, but he made up for it by being even more vociferously urban-liberal. He stopped short of peppering his speech with New-Yorkisms and Yiddish slang, but I'm sure Punch and Pinchy have been pleased with his various other impostures.
Third, if you read back up the thread, you'll see that Agnes is arguing that Southerners ought to be better-behaved: like not showing a Confederate flag, ever. Like not being, well, so objectionable. This despite the fact that she knows that the other side is a bunch of liberals, so that they'll just move the goalposts and go on beating on you if you accede to what they want. And despite knowing that one of the indicia of real character is not kowtowing to people who are predisposed to dislike you anyway no matter what you do. Which is why the whole world despises earnest liberals like Tad Bartimus, who is always whining about how hard she works to be down with the brothers and sisters and just can't get over the fact that at the end of the day she's still so white......that kind of "considerateness to others" is just toadying, and the whole world despises a toady.
So that's what I was explaining to Agnes, that she won't get many takers by counseling Southerners to reappraise themselves as America's official white trash and start learning to toady and suck up.
