How about this ...
Don't know much of anything... however the Freemasons were born out of the stone masons, such being many... community gatherings... of different societies with inner and outer circles, with the outer most protecting the inners. Such levels had colors assigned to them. Black being the most outer, and white being the most inner... There were many different groups of the stone masons, however they all had different politics in the different regions and could not really be said to be one group.
Now the Freemasons seem to be a community driven group, however they seem to have their own social trade system that over laps public ones... and they seem to want to keep old "keys" and or new "keys" to certain doors like influence or finances for those who they see fit as to continue certain objectives... This does not mean bad things, just hidden trade and influence...
Now this is just a wild guess...
I hope that I had not put out too many people...
