Obama allegedly declined to denounce antisemitism and black nationalism, according to a recently resurfaced biography.

A Revealing ‌Biography‌ on Barack Obama

A resurfaced ‍biography on Barack‌ Obama has shed light on a controversial argument he ​had with his then-girlfriend, where he allegedly refused to condemn antisemitism and black nationalism.

Tablet Magazine’s David Samuels recently published a lengthy expose based on an interview with⁢ David Garrow, a renowned civil rights historian who authored a biography on Obama titled Rising Star. In this book,⁤ Garrow reveals​ an exchange between Obama and his girlfriend‌ at the time, Sheila Miyoshi Jager, where Obama reportedly refused to condemn antisemitism and⁤ black nationalism.

The‌ argument was sparked after the couple visited‌ an ⁤exhibit about the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi ​responsible for the ​Holocaust. At the time, Chicago was embroiled in controversy surrounding accusations of Jewish doctors infecting black babies with AIDS.​ The incident occurred during a lecture series organized by Louis Farrakhan’s​ Nation of Islam.

“In Jager’s recollection, what ​set off the⁤ quarrel that precipitated the end of the couple’s‍ relationship was Obama’s stubborn refusal, after⁢ seeing the exhibit, and in the ‌swirl ⁢of​ this Cokely affair, to condemn⁢ Black racism,” Samuels wrote. “While acknowledging that Obama’s embrace⁢ of a Black identity had created some degree of distance between the couple, she insisted⁤ that what upset her that day⁣ was Obama’s inability to condemn Cokely’s comments.”

“It was not Obama’s Blackness that bothered her, ⁤but that he would ⁣not condemn antisemitism,” Samuels ​added.

In his memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama portrayed ‍the argument differently, emphasizing his embrace of ⁢a⁢ personal meaning ​for the Black experience.⁤ However,‌ it is a documented​ fact that⁣ Obama has ⁣associated with notable antisemites like Farrakhan. A‍ photo surfaced showing Obama and Farrakhan smiling together during a Congressional Black ⁢Caucus meeting, ⁣despite Farrakhan’s controversial views on⁣ Judaism and ‌Hitler.

While Obama’s past associations have been ⁣downplayed by the media, it ​is important to examine his ⁣community organizing background. Conservative radio host Larry Elder​ pointed out that if the media had⁣ scrutinized Obama’s association with ‌Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who made ‌anti-Semitic remarks, ‍it could have derailed his candidacy.
