I have got some questions???

The spider on my hand is fairly new. So excuse the ignorance. I know the main difference between the two. Skin color. That’s obvious. Here is some back ground for the reasoning behind my question. I am in the military. I was down in fort Sill Oklahoma. In the Army Masonry is very BIG. Any ways I was at a military function when I noticed a fellow brother wearing his light on his finger. So being a fellow Brother I approached him and asked him how long he had his LIGHT. He looked at me and said I should back away from him before he kicks my a*#. So I of course cocked a little attitude due to I am a Drill Sergeant. I collected my composure and asked him what Lodge he hailed from. He looked at me and began Laughing. I don’t take being laughed at very likely. So I walked away and thought he was just an imposer. Come to find out he was a Prince Hall Mason. I approached him and asked him if I offended him in any way I was sorry. One of his fellow Brothers said to him" He must be one of those AF & AM. I asked him what he meant by that. He said “nothing. We are all the same NO". I was confused. I told him "I believe so". I knew on of their body’s pretty well. So I asked him" What was their problem". He told me that is how all the Prince Hall Masons are, they think they deserve more, due to the fact that they have not been recognized by the AF & AM. So can someone help me with this question? What is the real difference between us?
