Just reading and believing Geeta is not what one must do. That is religious and idea slavery. The ideas must be tested against one's own life and see if they are true. I agree supremacy of Krishna. I also understand he is an incarnation of Brahma (not brahmin). Brahma is the ultimate thing. All others are its incarnation or manifestations. Brhma took body as Krishna so that common people can worship a tangible form. Brhama is both tangible and intangible at the same time. It is micro and Micro at the same time. Read Vivekananda's Jnanayoga to get better understanding. See how he clearly establish the argument that everything in this universe derives from Brahma. With this in mind, which is the true nature of indian philosophy which chants always 'Loka samastha sukhino bhavanthu', how can one talk about the supremacy and intellect of brahmin and keep krishna as a private property of brahmin etc. When anyone accepts sanyasam, he abandons his sacred thread, gives up everything, even his Gothram, kulam, father, mother, relations everything in pursuit of God. What does that mean. Even being a brahmin has no meaning when you set out in search of eternal happiness. These differences are man made. Many versus in Gita are not created by the original author. Many people added versus for their convenience. Do not just mug Gita and find reasons for all wrong doings in Gita in the name of Krishna. That is the biggest sin. Only universal love can bring piece, for individuals and world
