Or maybe she is just disillusioned...

That's why I hate to hear (or in her case, see) people use the Lord's name inappropriately. She mentions the "love thy neighbor" but she seems to have forgotten that Jesus Christ was a radical, he shaked things up both religiously ands socially. At no point does she mention how effective (as we all know) this type of living was to affecting REAL change.
IMHO, I think she's making "Black" less threatening. Like, she has be the high-holy example that we can be "civilized" and can "belong".
I would have liked for her to have made it clear that she wasn't joining, "just because", but, if she is the first A-A, that she will make a real difference in that org.
Then again, I can't see what a Black person ever gained from the Confederacy before, and I don't know what we could gain now.
But, I guess people just love to be invited to anything....
