"It's over, Muffy. Back to Suffolk. You mix the martinis. I'll start packing up the good swizzle sticks."
Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets:
Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You old white people. It is your duty to die.You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats.

It refers to much of American social, ethnic and cultural history. Read "Albion's Seed" by David Hackett Fischer. See this chapter: "East Anglia to Massachusetts--the Exodus of the English Puritans".
Not esoteric at all. As a lawyer in America, you should know this stuff--if you don't, you are not alone. Most of us have been reduced to techs and mechanics with the smallest possible frame of reference about either the world or America.
