Did Soetoro Refuse To Condemn Antisemitism And Black Nationalism? Resurfaced Biography Says Yes

2023-08-07

[Federalist] A resurfaced biography on Barack Obama details how the former president allegedly refused to condemn antisemitism and black nationalism during an argument with his then-girlfriend.

On Thursday, Tablet Magazine’s David Samuels published a lengthy expose based on a question-and-answer interview with David Garrow, a longtime civil rights historian who authored a biography on Obama in 2017 titled Rising Star. (Garrow has also penned a biography on civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr). While largely overshadowed due to legacy media’s obsession with covering the Trump presidency, Garrow’s book contains insight into an exchange Obama had with his then-girlfriend in which he purportedly refused to condemn antisemitism and black nationalism.

According to Samuels, the argument in question involving Obama and his longtime Chicago girlfriend, Sheila Miyoshi Jager, was allegedly sparked after the couple visited "an exhibit at Chicago’s Spertus Institute about the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann," a Nazi who played a major role in perpetuating the Holocaust. It was during this time, according to Samuels, that Chicago politics was engulfed in controversy after Steve Cokely, a black mayoral aide, "accused Jewish doctors in Chicago of infecting Black babies with AIDS as part of a genocidal plot against African Americans."

#12 My absolute favorite Soetoro "tact and diplomacy" moment. Barry with Denmark’s Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt at the Mandela memorial 10 Dec 2013. Big Mike, was not at all pleased.

#11 Whenever someone uses "social construct" as a pejorative, smile and respond "community, society and so forth are social constructs too."

#10 Fabulous picture #7, IMO the 'Lightbringer' has never learned tact and diplomacy in his adult life. He has always been "just another rat in the pack" scheming his way towards the front -- at the top he believes that everyone should now blindly obey because he is now the head rat.

A picture worth a thousand words. That gesture among men, inside that level of personal space, cannot be misunderstood. It screams arrogance, disdain and confrontation.

#7 It's easy to believe.

#6 ...and 'the Lightbringer' shows that he is part of the 'anti-white tribe' until he decides to stab them in the back ...because an amoral familiarist has no allies in the end.

#5 The author Thomas Krattman referred to it as "amoral familiarism" best summed it by quoting an Arab saying: "Me against my brothers, me and my brothers against the tribe, me and my tribe against the world..." Everyone is an enemy.

#4 The tribal are always putting on airs, then, when they ponder the potential consequences, they revert to "never alienate myself from the tribe."

A lot of the reason the tribal despise the non-tribal is that the former see the freedom of action and thought that only the latter has.

#3 For many the Eichmann example is a cautionary tale; for others it serves as a template. In that his girlfriend’s Dutch family risked their lives to hide Jews in their home during WWII, I’m thinking that she held up the anti-Eichmann side of the argument. Interesting that an argument about political lies sunk the relationship not Barack’s hunger for some sweaty man on man action. Confessing that type of aberrant hankering wasn’t as common in the 1980’s.
