There's no reference here to the "Hymietown" incident. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/jackson.htm Jesse Jackson's 'Hymietown' Remark – 1984 A black Washington Post reporter, Milton Coleman. was shadowing Jackson during his campaign. At a staff meeting that he thought was off the record, Jackson said he was going to "Hymietown" (New York City) to raise money for his campaign. Coleman later quoted him. This was a pivotal moment in the campaign. Most of his Jewish supporters still supported him, but others used it against him. One rabbi said that he should go into a synagogue and say, "Everybody who never used the word 'Schwartzer', raise your hand." It was also a pivotal moment for the black-Jewish coalition. There was also some debate over whether Coleman should have used a quote that would be harmful to Jackson, with most black journalists saying that Coleman's first responsibility was as a journalist to report it.
