Ron,
You obviously didn't take the time to read about the term "High Yellow" before you mistakenly called it a racial epithet. I assume Rick did read the article, and now has knowledge of the term, and more importantly, it's context.
That's education. Which was the point of the thread in the first place. Only by examining the historical roots of American racialism can we understand its impact on people, and better understand the point of view of people like Rev Wright.
I hope Rick, along with everyone else including you and me, learn as much as we can about the history of America beyond that which we eye-witness or is fed to us by popular culture.
