No just being a smartass. No racial overtones or bigotry implied. That's
what Plantation Foundation meant to me on hearing the phrase. :-)
It especially might have that meaning because I have recently walked through
an old cemetery in Dallas and it's cluttered with gravestone of Civil War
veterans and Confederate flags. One tombstone reads something like
'dedicated to blah blah, who fought with dignity and valor to retain the
character and flavor of the Old South'.
I'm no doubt naive, but I was surprised to see the rebel flag all over the
place, as it's often taken as a symbol of racial bigotry.

I say really! Damn! You may have stepped on it worse than I did with your
assumptions. Here's a job posting from NOTE THIS--> "Ecological Society of
America: grants, jobs, news" http://www.esa.org/
Applications are invited for the new position of Director of Dixie
Plantation at the College of Charleston. Dixie Plantation, 800 acres with
access via the Stono River to the Intracoastal Waterway, is located about
20
miles south of the main campus. The Plantation encompasses a number of
relatively undisturbed ecosystems (15 years since the last large hurricane)
including upland pine forest, non-forested wetlands consisting of three
small ponds (freshwater, saltwater and brackish) and a tidal salt marsh,
and
forested wetlands. The property also houses potentially significant
historical and cultural resources. There is instrumentation on site to
monitor the hydrology, biogeochemistry and ecological condition of parts of
the Plantation. The Plantation is owned by the College of Charleston
Foundation (³the Foundation²) and its development is guided by a
conservation easement through the Lowcountry Open Land Trust (LOLT). A
master plan for the Plantation, created by Ayers/Saint/Gross (Baltimore),
is
now in the early stages of implementation.
The successful applicant will demonstrate a successful track record in
acquiring grants and/or fundraising for environmentally-focused activities.
Demonstrated organizational and administrative skills at a senior level are
also required. Experience in developing and implementing
environmentally-focused research, education and outreach programs and
experience with building construction, particularly environmental research
or education facilities, are highly desirable.
The Director is expected to provide academic and program leadership for
Dixie Plantation. The Director will: 1) chair the planning and building
committee for the Plantation and oversee the implementation of the
committee¹s recommendations; 2) actively seek external funding for program
development (research, education, outreach); 3) interface with the academic
departments and schools, the Foundation, the College administration and
community outreach participants; 4) work with the Foundation in its
dealings
with the Lowcountry Open Land Trust; 5) play a leadership role in the
development and implementation of a management and, where appropriate and
feasible, a restoration plan for the biological and cultural resources of
the Plantation; 6) coordinate existing research and education activities
and
promote new activities with an emphasis on interdisciplinary programs

Perhaps you have some additional references to back up your assertion. Even
so, There are places around this world, and especially in Germany,
dedicated
to remembering the Holocaust! Or, to paraphrase your post "non-profit
organizations dedicated to preserving the memory of the true german
tradition of forced enslavement and extermination."
Anyway, that's the way your post came across to me.
Regards,
Bob...
