A whole class of them - and no, not just the rich. The arrogant ones. The smug ones. Mainly white, but not always. Mainly men, but not always. Those who condescendingly explained, “Don’t worry your pretty little head about these things. We got this.”

Anyone who formerly ate your words, speak them now.
