Don't tell a New Yorker what Hymietown means. The person who used it against me meant that I lived in a town filled with Jews. I got it, sir. You may think that Jesse Jackson made up that epithet but it's been thrown around by bigots immemorial.

And “mylife” said “negra” - not “negro.” That is a condescending, racist word that went out after Sidney Poitier socked Larry Gates over it during “The Heat of the Night.”

As I said, I wait for some Texan to disassociate himself from that word.

Chill out New Jersey...mylife was letting out his inner Portuguese...

negra
Originally from the Portuguese language, of or relating to the languages that developed from Latin, such as Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese it simple means a person of African descent.

[mylife]

Why are you lecturing me on what Jesse Jackson said?

I'm the one who used "Hymietown" in reference to J Jackson's racism. I had never heard the term before. I don't have a problem with miss m because she is Jewish but because she is obnoxious.

Miss m seems to be paranoid so I stopped caring what she thinks a long time ago.

Trust me...she never gets a point so you're wasting you time with her.
