I’ve read there’s an organization that awards the honorary designation of Kentucky Colonel to men and women of all races who have served the interest of the state of Kentucky by positive service or promotion of the state of Kentucky. They would not want the image of a traditional Southern gentleman besmirched as a racist symbol. I first heard of the group when a British author proudly listed this honor in his author biography in a book he wrote that talked about Kentucky.
