According to those involved in the conversations, Biden let them down gently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe didn\u2019t disagree with what we\u2019re doing,\u201d said Representative Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), the second vice chair of the CBC. \u201cHe did talk about his plate [being] full with trying to get the infrastructure bill passed and that he really wanted to make sure that he could get that through before he took on anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lawrence said that Biden\u2019s biggest worry about H.R. 40 is \u201cgetting it through the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Politico received a comment from an administration official who said, \u201cThe President reiterated to the congressional members that he is actually doing the work right now on breaking down systemic racism and racial disparities. It\u2019s at the heart of his work in this Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Tuesday, the White House notably side-stepped questions about Biden\u2019s support for reparations for the victims of the massacre.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-visits-tulsa-to-commemorate-1921-race-massacre-sidesteps-question-of-reparations-for-survivors\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre\u00a0was asked if Biden supports reparations for families of the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jean-Pierre responded, \u201cSo, the President believes that what these survivors have endured is tragic and devastating.\u00a0 First and foremost, he is honored to have the opportunity to listen to them and learn from their experiences.\u00a0 He also plans to convey his heartfelt gratitude for their bravery in sharing the stories of the trauma and violence that was wrought on them and their families.\u00a0 And that is \u2014 that is going to be his focus today, and that\u2019s what he wants to do.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jean-Pierre noted, however, that Biden \u201calso supports a study, as we\u2019ve said before, into reparations, but believes that, first and foremost, the task in front of us is not to root out \u2014 is to root out systemic racism where it exists right now.\u00a0 And that\u2019s why it\u2019s\u2026central to all of his agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-issues-proclamation-on-tulsa-race-massacre-calls-on-americans-to-eradicate-systemic-racism\"><span class=\"s1\">Biden issued a proclamation<\/span><\/a> and declared May 31, 2021, a \u201cDay of Remembrance\u201d for the centennial of the massacre. In his proclamation, Biden called on Americans \u201cto reflect on the deep roots of racial terror in our Nation and recommit to the work of rooting out systemic racism across our country.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe Federal Government must reckon with and acknowledge the role that it has played in stripping wealth and opportunity from Black communities,\u201d he said in the statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cIt\u2019s our work to continue to push him. We\u2019re not going to seat a perfect president,\u201d Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) said. \u201cAnd so we know that we have to look at what our needs are and push. And so that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to continue to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/assets.morningconsult.com\/wp-uploads\/2021\/02\/24092632\/2102103_crosstabs_POLITICO_RVs_v1_AUTO.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">POLITICO\/Morning Consult poll<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from February discovered that only 38% of voters supported a committee to study reparations and 35% supported reparations to descendants of enslaved African Americans.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
