thanks Dr jaiteh .i did acknowledge the existence of elites ,but i also made it clear that ''we need to be good human beings ''.being an elite does not negate any one to assume Godly status and snobery of the lower class .also ,in the case of the blacks living among the whites ,ones status shouldn't make you disassociate your self from poorer group of your race .we see this all the time ,it doesn't mean elitism is bad ,it means the way people go about is bad.islam infact acknowledge the fact that we are equal in terms of wealth and knowledge but at the end of the tunel ,we are all human beings .

I am no student of politics but my few years on this earth have thought 
me that, "even in the land of monkeys there is a pecking order". 
While all these theories and stories about equality or classless society 
are no doubt great academic exercise, I wonder how much of it is being REAL?
