Same here. Old money quietly, discreetly handles its business.

IMO, Lawrence Otis Graham seems, from his books, to have a big-time hangup about not being "elite." His ranting about not being in an NPHC fraternity in college had me CTFU. Hey, Law, there's something called graduate chapter.

The whole Our Kind of People 800 idea seems rather recherche, which means "pretentious," BTW. But I'm getting a good laugh out of this.
