First mylife probably meant "negro" which was a word used many moons ago. The point is we don't want our own black of female President, we want the best President regardless of color or sex. In other words, black or female is fine as long as they are the best candidate but we don't vote based on those factors. Record and policy trumps that in the Republican party.
As far as the Hymie town comment, it is common knowledge that Jesse Jackson called NYC that. The term Hymietown is a slam against Jesse Jackson. Rush Limbaugh uses it all the time to mock liberals who give people like Jackson and Sharpton a pass or treat them like race experts yet they are clearly anti-semetic.
Google "hymietown"

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.
