What is this Super Delegate thing?

I have been paying attention to the talk about Super Delegates, it doesn't sound good to me.
The delegates are not elected by the people, or are they required to vote the way the voters indicate. They are free to vote for anyone they want to, regardless. They have no obligation to anyone.
One of the Super Delegates is Bill Clinton, the husband of Hillary. Isn't that a conflict?, there is no doubt how he will vote, and many of the other delegates are friends or cohorts of the Clintons.
Are we being naive or not when we use that word democracy? And 20% of the delegates are Super Delagates, that is enough to control the process. WOW
