That is exactly correct. And that is the problem. We do not call them aristocracy, but that is what they are. Just go to any fancy country club and see how the "help" is created. I worked for a country club briefly in 1964 until I threw my should out of socket. It was a blessing. It was humiliating because when we came to work we had to go into the back door. It was really clear how a black would feel. I was white but it was all about the money. Your unofficial title was about how much money you had even back then.

And in all actuality what we have in this country is more insidious.
