President Joe Biden will travel to Oklahoma on Tuesday to mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre and announce new measures intended to narrow the racial wealth gap.
During his visit Tuesday afternoon, Biden will outline actions to expand access to two key wealth creators — home ownership and small business ownership — in communities of color and disadvantaged communities, the White House said.
The president also plans to meet with surviving members of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre, in which a White supremacist mob killed hundreds of Black Americans and left thousands destitute and homeless.

On May 31 and June 1, 1921, White rioters ravaged the wealthy Black neighborhood of Greenwood, a hub of Black-owned businesses known as “Black Wall Street,” in Tulsa. The mob destroyed 35 city blocks.
Biden issued a proclamation on Monday to remember the attack and called on Americans to help eradicate systemic racism and further racial justice.
“We honor the legacy of the Greenwood community, and of Black Wall Street, by reaffirming our commitment to advance racial justice through the whole of our government and working to root out systemic racism from our laws, our policies and our hearts,” the proclamation states.
In a speech Tuesday at the Greenwood Cultural Center, Biden will announce efforts to block racial discrimination in the U.S. housing market, including a first-of-its-kind interagency effort to address inequity in home appraisals.
Biden is scheduled to speak at 3:15 p.m. CDT.
The White House said the government also will use purchasing power to grow federal contracting with small disadvantaged businesses by 50%, which it said would result in an additional $100 billion over five years.
Additionally, Biden will provide new specifics on measures in his American Jobs Plan that include a $10 billion community revitalization fund that targets economically underserved communities. The community revitalization fund will support civic infrastructure projects to spark economic activity.
The jobs plan also includes a new Neighborhood Homes Tax Credit to initiate private investment in the development and rehabilitation of affordable homes for low- and moderate-income buyers.
To end housing discrimination, the White House said the Department of Housing and Urban Development will move toward “traditional interpretations of the Fair Housing Act” and “more vigorously enforce the Fair Housing Act.”
Biden will direct HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge to lead the interagency initiative to prevent inequity in home appraisals.
“These are the kinds of policies and practices that keep Black families in Greenwood and across the nation from building generational wealth through home ownership,” the White House said.

You often hear commentators talk about reaching the tipping point in society. Have we gotten there? Have we gone Black and there is no turning back?
AND how many of these “Tipping points” must be reached, before there’s one hell of a massive backlash?!
Isn’t Oklahoma close to the border Joe? Or do or do you even know? You can detour just a little a go visit the complete mess you and your radicals have created that you expect OUR hard earned tax dollars to pay for. Clueless, idiots.
Funny I know a couple of black people that own 2 or more houses and make more money than I could even think about, and then I have met quite a few black people who own two or more houses and make almost as much as I do. I own one house and struggle to keep it. I can’t think about retiring now because bib biden has created an air of inflation which I knew would happen if he got into office. So outside of taking points he better start finding ways to get everyone on board.
When i lived in Gulfport, working with the seabee’s doing volunteer work, i knew PLENTY OF WHITE folks, who were barely scraping by, WORKING.. YET their black welfre leech brethren, were RAKING in the buckeroos…
THEQuestion, WOULD YOU GO BACK TO WORK IF some one, through STATE AND FEDERAL Welfare programs pay a individual more money not to go to work….
THAT IS WHY I say end those bloody welfare programs!!
Puppet Betrayal Biden and his handler Tinkerbell Barack Obama want to morn the blacks killed in Tulsa OK. 100 years ago.
But do NOTHING about : I.A.W. U.S. Census & FBI (Table 43a)
Black males make up about 6% of the U.S. population but every year commit ~53% of all the murders and ~55% of all robberies in the U.S… Every year in the U.S. there are ~5,000 African-Americans men, women and children killed and 93% of them were killed by fellow African-Americans.
Why is it that blacks and socialist Democrats want to destroy or distort history but DO NOT do any thing about the present day killings of blacks??
I.A.W. HISTORY.COM
The Oklahoma Bureau of Vital Statistics officially recorded 36 dead. A 2001 state commission examination of events was able to confirm 36 dead, 26 Black and 10 white. However, historians estimate the death toll may have been as high as 300.
In 2001, (80 years after the riot) the report of the Race Riot Commission concluded that between 100 and 300 people were killed and more than 8,000 people made homeless over those 18 hours in 1921.
And DON’T try that debunked excuse that it’s because of a bad economy or lack of opportunity.
1st, with respect to opportunity – if THAT’S a concern, then tell Biden and the rest of the Democrats to STOP letting MILLIONS of Illegal Aliens into the county (to complete for jobs).
2nd, you know (or SHOULD know) that during “The Great Depression”, crime actually WENT DOWN?!
Just because people (of good character) have hard economic times, DOESN’T mean they will turn to CRIME as a result.
It DOES beg the question (for a REAL answer): WHY do so many blacks turn to crime, instead of bettering themselves?
SINCE leftists hate teaching HISTORY< i am not shocked more folk don't know that fact.
THERE ONCE WAS, I’ve been told, A long line of people during the 0bama Presidency waiting and a person asked one individual what they were standing in line for, an they said, ” Its OBAMA MONEY. THE PERSON WHO ASKED the person in line why they were in line , they said, its OBAMA MONEY and were going to get some ….
I remember that, and iirc it was also followed by someone saying “I am getting me my free obama phone”..
“Biden issued a proclamation on Monday to remember the attack and called on Americans to help eradicate systemic racism and further racial justice”. Joe if you want to “eradicate systemic racism and further racial justice”, I suggest all of you liberals leave the Country permanently. Secondly, Joe, giving Federal money to people of color, you are systemically racist against Whites and you do not treat White people as “equals” under the Constitution. Oh, I forgot Joe, you liberals do not believe in the Constitution.
He is pushing more and more to racially divide this country… He is going to cause more and more people to be attacked.. it won’t only be the Asians that are being attacked with much hate, he is going to be the cause of vulnerable white people to be attacked.. he is spreading his lies and extreme hate … he is destroying our country and pushing to steal from the whites to give to the minorities, especially the blacks (His so-called reparations for which NO ONE should be forced to pay)… HE is taking our country down a dark and dangerous road to the depths of hell.. GOD HELP US ALL!! More and more he is showing his reverse racial discrimination…. he is fine with pushing this radical race theory that teaches people to hate their country and their own race…. HE IS DISGUSTINGLY EVIL!!! GOD HELP US ALL
HIS mentor, Bozo the mudslime infiltrator, did most of that. He’s just continuing what obama started.
COMMENTAt this timethe quid-pro-joe has everyone in his demon party saying white people are the ones causing 100% of all the trouble in the world, and the black population are as innocent as can be even when caught with a murder weapon in the hand.
That makes me wonder, WHERE THE HELL are all the lawsuits, to STOP those programs being implemented due to racism’, are??
Blacks should know by now that Biden and the Dems. are only visiting for a photo-op. Sure, he’ll throw them a bone to say he’s helping, then get out
of town. He could care less about anyone’s plight. He is the most racist President, probably even more so than Obama, if that’s possible.
IMO He’s worse… AS HE’s been there longer.
HEY Biden, You are pushing reverse discrimination and if you keep on pushing this evil hate, you are going to be the cause of many more attacks on vulnerable people. YOU are the nightmare that is pushing to racially divide this country… MANY blacks are doing much better than a lot of white people… do you Hear the white people complaining that a black person is doing better than they are… NO… but you are pushing hate against a white person doing better than a black person… ENOUGH IS ENOUGH OF YOUR HATE!!!! STOP WITH SPREADING YOUR LIES AND YOUR HATE!!!! You are pushing to each the young to hate their country and their race… STOP THIS INSANITY… We are suppose to all be equally treated and equal to achieve what our dreams are… .. equity is NOT the same thing.. YOU are pushing that everyone has the same wealth even if you have to steal from some to give to others… THIS IS NOT HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSE TO WORK!!!! The crime of theft in this country is growing.. there is no respect for others and their property… YOU Biden are the biggest crook!!!! GOD HELP OUR COUNTRY AS YOU DESTROY IT!!!
Looks like more BRIBERY and LIES to attempt to get back all the “plantation residents” that are getting away from the democommunist party after being LIED to for all these decades of all the “wonderful things” they they would receive just for voting for THEM. Then FORGOTTEN after the voting was over. Don’t fall for it again Black Folks, you will only get the same “treatment” you received before. BTW, as it looks, the illegals aliens are getting the same “promises” that YOU did. I wonder how long they will remain on the plantation when they get “boned” also.
ITs almost like they WANT To keep being seen as nothing more than chattle to their Dem masters.
He’s meeting with people who are more than 103 years old? — and I’m saying 103, not 100, because if they were younger than 3yo at the time, they probably didn’t know what was going on and don’t remember any of it. Anyway, even at 103 they’ll probably be more mentally agile than Biden.
And a good way for Black wealth to increase is for black people to study hard, work hard, and take advantage of opportunities that already exist. Oh, and also avoid drugs, crime, and making babies out of wedlock. Many black people have already followed that path and have done quite well. Conversely, many white people haven’t followed that path and have done poorly.
Beijing Biden is racially dividing our country more and more.. pushing this evil radical race theory to teach the young to hate their country and their race… He’s pushing equity instead of equality… He and the radical democRATS wants to steal from one to give it to others … They want to pay people to sit on their butts and not work for what they want.. the more they keep pushing their hate and their lies, things are going to get worse in this country… He is going to cause more people to be attacked simply because of their race or nationality… God help us all as this nightmare in the white house destroys the country
How many surviving people are there? Is he only going to pay them reparations, if so there isn’t much to pay.
AND what of all the sports stars who make more in a year, THAN MOST AMERICANS make in a life time of work? MOST OF THOSE are black..
barry sotero made a lot of the same promises to the inner city blacks turns out they were empty after they voted for him.
NAME one dem, who made promises to the blacks, WHO ACTUALLY kept it!
Actually LBJ did when he pushed the Great Society through Congress with his Democrat majority…he famously stated at the time that with this legislation he would have the N*****s voting Democrat for the next 100 years…that was 55 years ago and so far…
Systemic Racist Joe could set an example by opening his home and the gated community surrounding his abode to Blacks and illegal aliens. As of now his private home is in a segregated community in Delaware and we know Jill owns a shotgun. Hunter owned a pistol but he lied on his permit application.
Wealth is not amassed and sustained by bestowing it, there is no personal interest, no personal effort, therefore it’s easy come, easy go. We know this by the exaggerated stimulus payments that keep people from working while blowing through the money until the next fix. Donald Trump’s policies created jobs for the black and Latin communities, jobs without government intervention which is a death knell to such a program. Home ownership and small business creation are noble goals but they come to fruition in a climate that fosters all to achieve not taking from success and distributing it without the hope of success elsewhere.
“President Joe Biden will travel to Oklahoma on Tuesday to mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre and announce new measures intended to narrow the racial wealth gap.”
Stop paying unemployed, single, black women to pop out kids.
Stop issuing checks to bums and drug dealers.
Stop importing unskilled workers from other nations.
Affirmative Action since the 1960’s…..We’re even!
If O’bama can make it anyone can.
To end house Discrimination?? You mean that you can’t use welfare money to pay your mortgage. To purchase a home ,you must show you pay your bills. But that’s been called racist. You must have 20% down. If you have that much money in the bank, then you can’t get welfare. These rules apply to white people too
What Joe really means is he is going to take hard working peoples money and give it to people who don’t work. The same old Democrat plan over and over and over. Good ole Joe the pandering race baiter .
The Tulsa massacre had NOTHING to do with “white supremacy.” It was a response to an armed attempt, by the black population, to free a man falsely arrested for rape, because they thought he was going to be lynched by a white mob. A tragedy born of fear and hate, NOT WHITE SUPREMACY!!!
Don’t dare bring facts, into their feelings.
How dare you.. RHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Great, now they are taking an hundred-year-old event to divide the country that has nothing to do with today. I think we should also take to the streets to march on Women’s voting rights and temperance.
A CENTURY. That’s how long ago they have to go to find a massacre. There is nothing beyond these race baiters and haters.
I can give them a thousand massacres since then. White on white, black on black, white on black, black on white, indian on white, white on indian, keep it going forever, it is the nature of selfish people. And it is the nature of GREEDY politicians who want to keep themselves in POWER FOREVER to exploit it.
Whenever you find an event like this, you will find a Pelosi, a Clinton, an LBJ, a Roosevelt at the other end saying, how can I use this to increase IN POWER AND EXPLOIT the POOR and emotional?
It is filthy.
